    As far as mods go. Just curious? Ive spent just around $4,500 on pro grill, wheels,tires, lift, skid plate, tint, window rain guards, exhaust system, lettering and still a few more to go. I hope. But I KNOW I’m at the bottom with this post.

    As far as stock goes, I did see a guy at the job site who had a “stock” $50k Tacoma.
    I thought it was a cement sport but upon inspection he literally put $16k down and ordered every possible option TOYOTA had. It was a full loaded Limited/Sport/Pro/4x4 off-road/ all in one.

    PS I still wanna get clazzio leather seat covers though. It’s a trap! Run the mods will never stop! You’ve been lied to get out. Run..

    I know a guy who had $80K in a 2017 4Runner... not including the 4Runner. Money is not a good comparator because a good paint job can be over $10K. A good suspension can be another $10K. Skids and bumpers and such can be another $10K. Etc.

    I’m at just under $5200, and all I’ve done are subtle cosmetic mods and basic gear. It’s amazing how much stuff costs.

    I just keep modding to take my mind off how much I’ve spent. It’s a great way to go about it.

    Bolt-on's are cheap.

    Fabricating items and made to order rims are the killers in car world.

    I have spent $3,000 on my truck. A good half was Ovtune and exhaust. $600 headlights, and other miscellaneous aesthetics. Haven’t even spent anything on wheels and tires yet LMFAO

    And yet, I’m getting the $700 dump pipes, new gaskets, wheels and tires in 2 years, and then regearing to probably 5.29’s. Oh boy

    Been sending $$$ to that @MESO guy lately :spending:

    Been totally worth it though. Puddle lights and speakers arrived today, and bed lights will be here Saturday, so my Labor Day stay-cation already has 1 one day accounted for...

    Way too much.......I am estimating around $25,000 - $28,000........that is also parts being bought and replaced by others. Like tonneau cover with topper, fridge replaced with a bigger one, etc.

    I’m at 18,000 and only had the truck 8 months. Definitely the most expensive forum I’ve ever joined. No regrets !
