Well, I bought this truck when I was 17 in November. I just recently turned 18. I bought the truck for $5,400; it is a 2005 5 lug base model and came with 117,000 miles on it. Being a senior in high-school, I don't really have as much money as I'd like to spend on this little thing. Little by little it's starting to look better. Started off with rims and hopefully things will snowball from there. The next mod that I am looking at will be changing my headlights and taillights or, color matching my bumpers.
