    No offense but i think you started with the small crappy stuff that doesnt help with performance when you ahould be looking at doing the stuff that really matters. Tires lift, ovtune, lights, bumpers. all that other stuff is just play things that dont actually improve performance. I did the same , spent 10k on stuff but my truck didnt perform
    Any better. If i was to go back, i wouldnt make the same mistake

    IMO it performs well, I don’t go crawling or any extreme off roading. It’s a daily driver that will see the pavement 10x more than the dirt. So yea a lift and bigger tires will come later but it’ll be mostly for cosmetics just like everything else. Just want a badass looking truck.

    It was on sale.

    It was the last one.

    I sold some other stuff to buy it.

    You will get good at coming up with these excuses on the fly if you have a significant other.
