    Well, Tax returns will be starting soon if they haven't already for some people. Which means money for mods. So lets hear it. What are people going after?

    Me, I'm thinking a DeMello Offroad plate bumper, Some UCAs (Probably ICON tubulars) and Skid plates. Thinking a full set of Bud Builts but MetalMiller's front skid looks pretty sweet too.

    Anyway lets hear it.

    I'm trying very hard not to give my refund the 'glad eye' (as my grandmother used to call it) for mods. I've already pigeonholed it for a high banker and that's where I need to keep my focus because prospecting season is just around the corner!

    Putting it into your truck is an investment. In your truck.

    No idea what who said?

    The problem is that with this years return and the boost I get for going to school etc, I will be dangerously close to having enough for a S/C or turbo setup... I don't know if it's a good move or not lol. Boost or armor, as my lift is sitting in the garage waiting for spring

    Supercharger fund!

    Though it'll probably get re-allocated to the "let's have a baby" fund
