    when i got my truck I thought "I'm gonna keep it stock, what else could i want to add, it's perfect." and after reading all the DIY/MODS on this sight, I'm now addicted to making little changes. At work, i think of what i'm going to do to my truck when i get home! anyone else?

    I understand. I had my ram and dropped about 2k into lowering it intake exhaust and so on because my wife said she would never eat wild game. Well last month the ram went away because I needed a 4x4 to hunt in after she tried deer and pheasant.. The agreement was I was NOT doing anything to the truck till next summer. That lasted 2 weeks till I ordered new tires. will be getting my lift when taxes come in.. Now she said after x mas just do the truck so she doesn't have to here about it. But that also falls into I'm a mechanic and she cant even check her own oil so she knows if I want it I'll tell it will fix some problem and buy it anyways. Hope she never learns how to work on cars.
