    got yourself a good truck, I would take care of it and keep it, like you said all used trucks were mostly un cared for beaters but they still want big bucks for, I know I bought a used sr5 4x4 4 cylinder and they sellers would not drop the price a dime, but it was in good shape at 49k miles I had to do all the 30k maintainence on it but I know how to do that stuff this is my 4th Toyota truck

    You're right. All it sees are dirt roads and the occasional puddle haha. When I want to go offroad I just hop on a dirt bike.

    I think I'll just do the spindle lift and then get some 30s. Honestly I hate the lean right now, really bugs my ocd haha. I definitely need shocks for the rear right now it has none they wouldn't fit with the aal.

    I've built two dirtbikes into dual sports so far, but I can't enjoy them now thanks to being in an apartment for college. No garage sucks

    Save your money. Leave the truck as is. It's a nice clean truck; anything you do to it is going to reduce the value and make it less comfortable/useful/reliable.

    I'll be the grumpy old man in thread and offer you the advice you won't take: Invest that chunk of change and it could literally build into a nest egg that could offer you some amazing freedoms later in life... an earlier retirement, a down payment on a house, funding to start a business, etc. Enjoy the toys you already have now, spend time with friends, focus on school. But you're going to ignore this and do what we all did when were were 18: piss money away on stupid stuff.
