    I find it hilarious people saying invest or save it. Shut the front door. If the guy wants to spend a 1000$ on his truck then gosh darnit let the man do it. Don’t come in here pretending to be some financial guru that talks to his Edward Jones advisor every 6 months on his semi-aggressive 20 year retirement Ponzi scheme. Sheep. You dang lint lickers. TW = millionaires next door

    I hope u r joking. Just like u wrote your thoughts down, so have others. No one should b insulting another’s advice if they r being respectful and just trying to help him with their thoughts. U obviously don’t have a financial advisor or care about the long term positive aspects of saving. I told him to spend it, but I sure as hell didn’t criticize others when I made my suggestions. Have a good one Dr. Phil.

    You are the definition of a forkin spoon. I don’t come into a thread that balantly says in the title “1,000$ to blow on a Tijuana hooker” and then profess to tell him to save his money, goto church twice a week, and join those liver-spotted handed door knockers you turkey.

    U r missing the point, the people were kidding with the OP and not criticizing other members.

    I would suggest u chill with name calling (Dr. Phil is a term of endearment), cause the internet isn’t a force field. It’s a small world. Plus, u r def gonna piss other members off. Good luck.

    So let's get back to the subject at hand, spending others money. Love these wheels, hate the color. Don't get what everyone sees in black wheels. You can't see the detail in the wheel till you're right up on it. As you can see in the pictures. That said, great pictures.

    I was so confused with his tough guy jargan from Itsgottabeyourbull that I wasn’t sure if he was insulting me or a little kid grabbed his phone and did the best they could to hurt my feelings! Lol!

    Gotta love these forums. Either way, I’m not meeting some clown talk shit to members just helping the OP. Gave a good laugh to start the weekend off though.



    I’m all about efficiency!!! Lol!!!

    I would like to offer you and all of TW my sincerest apologies from the deepest part of my heart. The name calling got out hand. Dog was let off the leash. Tiger got out of the cage. Pig out of the pen. You get the jist of what I’m trying to say. As a way to make up to you, I would like to extend an invitation to you that if you ever cross in to Oklahoma that we meet up and have a smoke and a pancake, a flapjack and a cigarette, cigar and a waffle, pipe and a crepe, or a bong and a blintz? Let me know and will get it set up.

    Back to topic here folks. I appreciate all discussion about what to do with the $1000. Yea, invest it would probably be the best idea. I've already got my investments handled and have a good strategy in place for that so I'm not as concerned about it.

    It's a tough choice about what to do. I honestly don't mind the off road wheels that much. I feel like I saw a tacomaworld member post a photo of the stock OR wheels with 285's and it looked good. My rub about the wheels is they most likely get stractched and damaged where I work so is it worth it? A lift might be better.

    $3000 dollars though. Damn! That's a lot of payments.

    Alright. I’m gonna seriously spend your money. Placeholder.

    This will get you a safe and sexy stance without ruining your driveline geometry or ride quality. Mild lift at 1” up front. It looks nice, and easy to install and remove. Next up, this ones a freebie. Cut off the donkey dick at the exhaust, looks nice and keeps your exhaust from getting hung up. 600 bucks to your nearest slider manufacturer. Your shit will look and function TIGHT. Also spend like the leftover 4 bucks for some new stickers for your ride and support my little fab shop since I was your consultant

    I've read through this thread, there's been some good advice. But you want to fix up your truck, so here's what I would do.

    Next set of ultimate turn signals MesoJdm sells buy ten sets. Put one set on your truck, you'll love them. Then sell the rest for double the price. You'll get it with the frantic buying after his are all gone. It won't be long before Meso or someone else figures out how popular the signals are and produces 1000 of them per run instead of 100. So this opportunity won't last long.

    It's the best of both worlds, you invested your money, you have a great looking upgrade for your truck, and now have nearly double the money to buy whatever else you want to add to it.

    Just the ramblings of a silly old guy.
