    My first thought was to invest in @mesojdm 's products as an Angel investor so he can have a second or third printer. With the profit made from that off you folks, I would have 10k to spend. LOL

    But, since that's not a permitted option and I don't even have my Taco yet, I've got an excel spreadsheet already lined out with expected costs on things I'd like to get done when the time comes, which include...

    1) Window tint
    2) Front/Rear dashcams
    3) Light bar behind the scoop on the Sport
    4) Light bar between the grill and bumper
    5) Bug Shield
    6) Window vents
    7) Nerf Bars
    8) Big Rig Lights from RealTruck ( dunno, still deciding on this )
    9) Rims
    10) Panel raphics, derp'n, etc.
    11) A slew of MESO products
    12) Truck tent with camping gear
    12) Seat covers

    And those are just the bigger ticket items. The small ticket items list is three times longer. :spending:

    I've done all the "modifications" I will ever do... and all of them (except the leather seats) are very easily undone, and do not adversely affect resale, nor do they create potential mechanical issues.

    But having modified a previous vehicle, I understand the desire to do so.
