Bonus check time! Next mod?

You don't need any of the stuff you suggested lol; However you can do lights! LED bars and lots more. You can never have enough lights!

Search Craigslist; I found my OEM running boards for $100, my dealer wanted $400, I don't hardcore offroad so sliders were of no use to me. Plus they look good.

 

Well ,we are right off of a main thoroughfare for the state, so not really. That said, it IS pretty rural...

I think they are just compensating for a lack of a decent football team and losing the VA Commonwealth cup 13 years in a row. Sure they have a good B-Ball team, but we made it to March Madness this year too...

 

Got my 32" stealth mount put in last week, LED backup lights come Monday, raptor lights going in today after work!

 

Sliders can also protect you in the urban jungle against shopping carts and A-holes that open there doors into other vehicles.

 

X2^^

 

After a lot of thought, I think this is the way I am gonna go. My 1st gen was saved several times by my running boards. I figure I can get a decent set of sliders so i can take it through some trails around here with less concern and put the balance towards paying the taco off.

I like the softopper a lot, but utah summers aren't exactly known for rain. Plus anywhere I go, I can usually set up a small tent if needed or a bivy bag in the bed. Maybe next time...

 

why not? It would make getting out of tight parking spaces easier I guess...

 

I beg to differ. You just need to buy the right style to use as steps.

Those are the relentless ones from your build thread correct?

 

Correct. Ordered the @RelentlessFab bolt on flat sliders with the fill plates and I think they are a better step than the factory steps I took off (larger surface and better grip). Plus they offer protection and provide a lift point for my hi-lift.

 

Those are the ones I had been looking at primarily.

It says some holes may need to be drilled bigger / minor mod req'd. Was that the case with you?

 

Nope....it bolted right up for me using the existing holes and no need to modify anything. There was a bracket on the passenger side that held some wires that didn't line up with a hole on the sliders but I removed the bracket and haven't had any issues (it'd be easy enough to spend a few minutes with a drill to get the bracket to mount if you wanted to).

 

supercharger or go home

 

SOLVED.

 

Do you have retro fit headlights? If not, that would be an excellent, functional use of your bonus money.

 

I like how everyone on the internet is a smart financial planner with an impressive portfolio of strategically made investments and retirement plans that allow them to still spend their own money foolishly.

 

Sure , we are good at pissin away our money, but we're outstanding at blowing somebody else's money!

 

Still.....bank it

 

I'm a mathematical wizard. I got skills, dawg.

 

What is a bonus check? @Mobtown Offroad and I got a $25 Giant gift card one time from a previous employer. Can't buy shit with a Giant gift card.
