    Whenever I can't decide what I want to spend my money on, I just buy more ammo. Re-up!

    But if it HAD to be on truck stuff...my vote's on dash cam and recovery gear.

    Ammo is never a bad decision.

    optic for $220... no lol (not trying to say they sent out there, don’t flame me bros)

    I’d say wait until you get your lift, see if you get any vibrations and use the money to fix that (axle shims, ECGS bushing, ect).

    Brake upgrade! All stainless steel brake lines

    If you still owe on your truck, put it towards the principle and pay it off faster.

    If I had $200 something to spend it would either be on a scan gauge and/or a dash-cam.

    You can get a 32 inch bar for the lower grille (I recommend autofeel) and brackets off Amazon for 120 total. That's what I'm getting next. Then I'd use the other 100 for tow straps, maybe a road side safety kit.

    I have a scan gauge and love it, but I wouldn't buy it after upgrading tires.

    Window tint
    Color match grill
    BHLM
    Save it for when you need something later

    Why not after upgrading tires?

    I am seriously considering a color match grill, the PO put 5% tint on the truck all around so if anything I'd decrease it.

    Offroad permits, or extended registration.

    Sounds weird, but I had some extra cash the last time my registration was up and since im not planning to sell, I did 3 years.

    *Edit

    Fun stuff would be ditch lights and brackets, "raptor" lights, or save for something real nice like some Katskinz, bumpers, or bed rack.
