    I waited til just the right time. Discount tire was having a sale for $100 off over $400 spent then an extra $50 rebate. So each wheel was initially $125, lug kit/valve stems $50. Tires from local shop(no discount tire shops near me) lt265/75r16 cooper at3 6 ply(c-rated) $755 minus $70 rebate

    Haha. You'll get there. Mine still looks pretty dinky compared to those with bumpers, fenders, and mid-travel/long-travel suspensions. I remember trying to mod my civic when I was 18 and in college and only working part time. It was like 2-3 mods a year. Now I'm older with a good job making a good amount of money but I have a mortgage and a kid so I'm back to being 18 again when it comes to mods, 2-3 a year, lol. And even then they're nothing big. Like right now, I'm trying to wrap a few interior parts in 3m carbon fiber vinyl. A shop quoted me $450! I just bought the wrap off Amazon for $30. Hopefully it goes well, lol.

    I'm just diggin' at you man. :)

    I've made some big changes this year and now i'm not lifting until i'm either in my last year of school or out of school.

    Just this year i have done, led interior lights, reorganized my entire cap storage situation, built my first cheap bug out bag for in my truck, bed rail mout for axe, bed rail mount for shovel, aFe Performance Mach Force XP 2.5" stainless cat back, new tires, license plate frames, more stickers, new ultragauge plus model, redline tuning stainless steel elite series hood struts, cap delete, got a soft trifold tonneau cover coming, ordering a pop&lock in the next week or two. Also bought an unmolested rear oem chrome bumper with towing package hitch (still needs installed), 4pin trailer lights harness (still needs installed)....

    I'm sure i'm forgetting something, but the point is...i'm very fortunate and don't care when people tell me my truck is unmodded just becauss i lack lift, wheels, bigger tires, armor, and regear/lockers. I've done a lot. Infact, almost as much money goes into my truck as what goes into school lol

    Yeah, there's more to modding than just a lift. First thing I did was lift and tires just because I needed the extra clearance for the spots I'd take my dirtbikes to and because the trails here are all rocks and boulders.

    Thanks guys! And yeah, until I was lifted, I only had small mods, but quite a few of them lol. Next time around, I am doing the big stuff first then the aesthetics
