If you had $5000...

gtrotter · 04-21-2011, 08:28 PM

I've already got the regear and lockers, and a nice suspension setup. I might consider going dual tcases, stock front/4.7 gears rear. Maybe some nice, REAL beadlocks?

that's one thing i would never buy. simply because of the cost - way too expensive. i can't imagine spending that kind of money on that.

I would pay for a supercharger if the truck didn't need to run on premium afterwords. That's the main reason I could justify trading in my Acura for the Tacoma V6 to my wife. Even though the Acura got a mile or 2 per gallon better, when you calculate the cost of regular vs. premium the Tacoma came out ahead.

I wasn't looking for a gas sipping vehicle but I also don't want a guzzler.

BUMP

For shits and gigs.....let's say each of us has a $5000 EBAY gift card and we can only spend it on our trucks like bumpers, supercharger, QUAD (something has to go in the bed), wheels , tires, etc.

If your bored, get on EBAY and come back here with what you "would" buy and how much $$. don't go over $5000.

Ready? Go!

drive to vegas and bet it all on black.

detnight · 05-11-2011, 01:45 PM

I would put in the bank or buy some more stock.

PERFECT!! I wanna see that photoshopped on the hood of your truck like the Duck on the rubber ducks truck on CONVOY!!!!!!!!

Say that fast 3 times!

steve o 77 · 05-11-2011, 03:25 PM

Lately I've been wanting to pick up an old RWD corolla to mess around with. So that's what I would spend it on.

Tarheelz2350 · 05-11-2011, 05:25 PM

Breast implants. For my wife, not because she wants them but because I'm such a good husband.

On a serious note. I'd finish paying off credit cards and put some towards the down payment on our house.

JHAirForce05 · 05-12-2011, 06:54 PM

Make you give it to me!

SuperTaRD9904 · 05-13-2011, 01:20 AM

Definitely get it re-geared and the locker... O wait I already got that. So I would definitely have to Supercharge it... Dammit I already got that too. Now I would definitely go long travel... Ah not again, I got that too. I guess I could get breast implant for the gf... but she's already got D's..... Damn never realized how lucky I am

toughtaco · 07-03-2011, 06:45 PM

1. Pay off bills .................or 2. Supercharger.................... or 3. Down payment on a Corvette

TheHansen · 07-03-2011, 08:16 PM

Auto loan
Upgrade the Mountain bike

I know i haven't done that much to my truck buy im pretty damn happy with where its at right now.

TacoDawgfan · 07-04-2011, 11:14 AM

Give $5000 to me and I'll tell you in a few weeks.

Seriously though, IDK. I would love to so a lift, wheels, tires and a tonneau, but have more important things right now. Bills and what not. Haven't had a vacation in like 4 years. Also might consider a refi on the house, just depends on how the numbers come out.

I'm with you on the turbo I wanna do an STS turbo on my 2.7 5speed

Maticuno · 07-04-2011, 11:37 AM

OME lift, full trail armor, lockers.

toysrgood · 07-04-2011, 11:47 AM

Really good question.

I was just going through this myself.

About $10k next summer and I want a trail rig.

Nothing super, just something to beat up and not worry about cosmetics etc. Maybe old FJ or heep or a old toyota pickup with SFA

If I have enough after that I will pay off the bike and the rest of my wifes car. Then use those monthly payments towards my truck
