    Lol! I must have a huge family. It seems I have a rich uncle passing away every week. And all from Nigeria. Which is weird because I didnt know they had Asian people in Nigeria.

    First figure out what you want/need the truck to be able to do that it currently can't. Buy the mods that solve those limitation(s).

    Go on a trip to see new sights if you have the ability to get away for a few days.

    Take whatever is left and pay down your loan if you have one, or put into savings against future maintenance expenses.

    Spending money just because you have it is not the path to financial security.

    2000USD would go a lot farther than 2000CAD lol
    So if its in CAD not much, sliders and skids.

    USD, sliders, skids, maybe some pod lights?

    Fuck my Konig wheels are just under 2K canadian lol.
    RCI sliders alone are 1100
    Mobtown group buy is close to 800CAD

    IMO these are the three I normally start with. You can go a lot of places with good tires. All those good places can cause body damage. Then the body is protected and you get brave and start bouncing around on rocks. :)

    Tires - $800ish
    Sliders - $600ish
    Skids - $600ish

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Custom tube rear bumper, tire carrier, and shock towers.

    Do frame mods count as "suspension" ?

    Since the truck already has sliders, a portable compressor and a highlift jack and the rest stock it only needs 2 grand to have a great time, a trip to Moab to enjoy what my truck can do with out all the extras. Allot to do there without needing an all out rig or risking severe damage.

    I would definitely change all my badges to black including the grill and get new tires and wheels. Some sliders and definitely nice skid plates!
