repair costs doesnt count as mods hahaha.
Shoot, why not? While you're at it, how about fuel costs, oil changes, etc???

I figure I must be up to $20K by now....

Seriously tho...I've got just over $900 in tires, $350 in step bars, $80 in my exhaust (muffler, adapter, & self-install), $100 in door speakers, & a KN filter $50.

So I guess I'm looking at ~ $1480 in mods - man that adds up fast! I still need a speaker box so I can install my sub and amp, which I already had. I want to do gears next, and probably a rear diff cover at the same time, so there's gonna be at least another $1000 by the time I pay for install. Hurry up Uncle Sam, I need my tax return!

The saying goes.. A fool and his money soon part ways..If you got mods worth more then what you drive.Your a fool , but again look at the age ... like kids who have a 2,000 dollar sound system in a 500 dollar car... Must be nice to have mommy and daddy to pay or help to pay..LMAO.. You can flame all you want , but its sad when you need mom or dad to help pay your bills....

fine say what you want. if we are putting repair costs count as MODIFICATIONS then we should start adding up gas,windhsield washer fluid, oil/filter and car wash materials. haha. in that case damn i probably have about $15000 in gas alone over the last 3 years,$700 in oil changes, $400 in car washes and materials, and about $20 in washer fluid lol. i mean i thought we were talking about performance modifications here and how much is too much to put into your truck modification wise.
