    Just sold my dirtbike, and ive got $1600 to spend. Hmmmmm, any ideas?

    my thoughts......

    lift? 3"? 4.5"? 6"? ive been trying to decide for 3 months but idk

    rims? and save the rest for getting a lift

    Audio? double din, subs

    Performance? headers? tuner (apr or maf cal)


    Given winters coming, and i have to keep commuting 25 there 25 back miles to school, what do you all think?

    Send the money to me so i can put some 4.10 gears and ARB locker in my rear end? You can claim it as donation on your taxes, so essentially it would be tax write-off... Just sayin'

    This is always the advice I want to give, but I always wonder if it's too late because the OP has already made the decision to blow it all?

    What do you think OP, is the money all but spent at this point?

    Alright, I can comfortably spend it all, but i don't plan to spend ALL of it.
    so far, i have nothing major.
    05 trd sport dc
    -afe drop in, random dynomax super turbo welded in
    -weather tecs
    -truxedo lo pro
    -little mods ( led's in bed/ under hood/ 4x4 switch... tint)

    I'm leaning towards the 3 in lift.... i just cant make up my mind with what i want to do ( my stock coils and leafs are realllly sagged IMO)

    im just nervous about buying a 3 inch lift, but not feeling lifted, as some people have said.
