    Well then a nice stereo upgrade as you mentioned would be nice until you can properly armor more of the truck. Driving around with a nice sound system on or off road is always awesome.

    Alright, so after some thought and influence from you guys, I realize that I need to stick to dependability and safety with this purchase.

    With that being said, I'm running a Low Range Offroad 3" front & 2" rear level lift and 285/75/16 K02's on factory TRD Offroad wheels with 1½" wheel spacers.
    Either way, suspension and wheels will eventually be re-done, however I'm leaning towards wheels so I can ditch the wheel spacers.
    When it comes to offset I'm lost. I understand the concept, but have no clue what to buy.

    So, what offset do I need to buy in order to get rid of the 1½" wheel spacers and also not hit my UCA? The UCAs are stock. And whenever I re-do the suspension I was planning on either the Eibach Pro Lift, or the Bilstein 2.5" or 3" and more than likely the 6113 setup I keep seeing.
    I want to buy wheels now, but also keep the offset in mind for the future suspension and not wanting to hit the UCAs then either.
    I know this was long so if you've made it this far, thank you for any help in advance!!

    I buy secondhand stuff all the time. You’d be amazed at what deals you can find on FB marketplace.

    that said, I’ve the kicker upgrade, with kicker key amp, and Subaru tweeters. Bought new from crutchfeld and bam wholesale (tweeters). Came in around $460 + $20 to build t-harness. Worth every penny IMO.

    Supplement brand? They are a kids education brand. They have been around for awhile now too.

    Anyone who didnt think my stock choice was a good idea. If you would of invested that 1000$ when I said you should on may 21st, it was at $1.32 that would of gotten you 757 shares. Those same shares today, just 6 days later are worth $1.89. Your $1000 is now $1430.

    I only had $360 invested, but im up $140 from it.

    This is the first mod I do to any vehicle. Especially since I have a 40min commute each way. I need my jams.

    Curious why this stock in particular... Why do you feel it is a good investment? For what timeframe?

    They are consolidating some things into a single new cartoon channel, its a ad based channel, so you dont have to subscribe to it. They have some pretty big names on the channel. They are launching it in about 20 days. They also have some new toy things coming out, with summer in quarantine the channel will get some good views. Then right into gift seasons for the new toy lines.

    As stated above, I think its a good 1-2 month investment. Im guessing its going to peak around 6-7$ per share. Once it hits that 6-7 I think it will level off, but if their channel is a huge hit, then I think it could go higher, but I will be selling out at around 6.

    While I think this stock could be big, Im not enough of a risk taker right now to dump everything into it. I put in $360 so if it tanks im not out a ton of money.

    This isnt fair, everything has been going up this week. You could have invested in most things last week and made the same money.

    Next week or two itll drop back down again and here comes the roller coaster.

    And am I reading this right? 26% of your funds are tied up in the one stock? Really?

    It is, I made some bad moves when I started and put 1300 into airlines at what I thought was their bottom... turns out their bottom was much lower. Im still up $300 overall, but my airlines are still in the red. pennystocks have been what saved me.

    But once those airlines go back up to even half of what they were 4 months ago, I will be buying all the skid plates for my truck.

    Called it :) $1000 investment is now $3035.57. Hope more of you folks got in on this.
    BTW, I didnt invest a ton into this stock, so Im not trying to rub it in, but what I did make off this stock will get me full aluminum skids (front, mid, tcase, and fuel tank).

    Anyone who is not in the market, get in with a few hundred bucks before the recovery picks up. You'll be buying all the mods you have always wanted in a few months.
