    Hey all. Just want to get some opinions on what to put my money into for my ride.

    First two pictures are my truck (silver) and then some ideas on where to go with it. Either aftermarket bumper, grill and lights OR conversion to 2012-2015 front end with aftermarket bumper and grill. Both would be about the same price I'm guessing.

    Any other ideas apreciated!

    I’m getting new tires. Looks like you’re good there though. I’d go for a stealth bumper.

    My opinion is that if you don't know what you should be purchasing, then park that money and let it accrue interest until you do.

    @RelentlessFabrication got our stimulus monah last year; wifey surprised me with a bumper for my first fathers day.

    I might be a responsible adult with it this round (if I get any) and put it towards much needed home improvements like new windows.
