    Alright so I just got my tax return and I want to save most of it instead of just blowing it on my truck as much as I want to. I just cant think of cheaper mods for my truck. I'm in need of ideas! Ready...go!

    Find a cheap nitrous kit. I bet you can find a used dry 50hp ZEX kit for under $500 bucks.

    I think I spent something like $35-40 for dome and both map lights. You'll like the upgare. Money well spent!

    How does a bestop have anything to do with getting the mirror out of your view out the front ?

    ^Since visibility out the rear window is basically non-existent, might as well just remove it completely rather than trying to relocate it higher. (No backup cam in '08, right?)

    Stainless braided brake lines are about $30 each ($120 for a set of 4). They improve brake pedal feel - one of the most bangs for the buck.
