    Hey guys! I have a little bit of spare cash to toss out ($800ish) and have WAAAY too many ideas on what to do with it. I don't have anything I have to pay off, so this is just play money.

    Option 1: Spend it on the truck.
    There are a ton of things I want for the truck. I would love the scooped hood, color matched mirrors with signals, black side steps, I'd even go for trail team rims for the FJ. Weather techs would be nice too. So many options.
    CC82525D-A8F8-4789-A210-AB37ABC585B6_zps_e9eec7ba3a69681de02e276c2e359c523174aa92.jpg

    Option 2: Guns!

    I just finished building my first AR to add to the collection. Not a big collection but it's growing.
    -Mossberg Plinkster 702 .22LR
    -NE Firearms Pardner .410
    -Ithaca X5 Lightning .22LR
    -Savage 111 30-06
    -Springfield XD .45 compact
    -Spike's Tactical AR Build .223/5.56

    I would love to add an SKS, Saiga 7.62, Mossberg 500 tactical shotgun, Springfield XDS .45 and probably a few more.

    I could also take the $250 course to get my concealed carry which would really make me want the XDS.

    Option 3. INK!

    I have two tattoos already and I haven't gotten a new one since 6 months after my 18th Bday. I am 22 now.

    I have a very custom tattoo I would like to get done which will probably run me $300-500. The design is already done, it just has to be needled into me.

    Option 4: Shed!

    I need a shed to put my tools, lawnmower, snowblower etc in. Right now they just get covered by my deck. I got my first house 1 year ago and don't have a storage place yet besides under the house which isn't handy for tools/lawn mower etc.

    I have $250 in Lowe's gift cards and the shed will cost about $650-700 to build. Already have all the plans done, just need to buy stuff and build it.

    Option 5: Save it, we know this isn't happening.



    Interested to see what you guys come up with :D I am sure I will get some amusing responses.

    Easiest way to spend it all!


    Shed seems like the option with the most "need". But it feels so low on the want list lol

    i like all of your options, dont feel like you can really go bad with any of them.

    truck parts are always satisfying and always make you enjoy the truck more.

    i like that you want conceal carry which can be nice especially with the xds. always good to be protected.

    ink is awesome too, but gets the least use

    shed is pleasing for the house but the most boring

    Ink is basically the longest lasting thing you can buy. Hard to ruin it or lose it. Sure it fades and sags when you get old but you know what it is and what it means. Just like our trucks will rust and deteriorate.

    Shed is boring but I can probably do that anytime since I have almost have of the price in gift cards :p

    Just left Costco and they had a really nice she'd for $697... You can always return it if you don't like it.

    No Costco's around here. Same thing with our Sams club they had a really cheap plastic shed. My grandma had one and it seemed like a really good buy for the money and a quick half day slap together shed.


    I plan on building mine. I live right next to a shed place. They charge around $3-4k for an 8x12 shed. No thanks.


    So I went and checked one out, tallied up all the 2x4s, boards and whatever I would need to build it. Think I came up with about $650 in materials so I will go that route.

    I watched videos of these guys building these sheds. Sure they are really nice but waaaaay over priced. They slap them together in 1-2 hours with 2-4 guys and obviously make a ton of money off them.
