    I opted to say go for the gears and lockers, that will actually make the truck more usable. The supercharger is cool but gas is pricey already, and I am not sure that will help mileage, which gears chosen correctly can do or at least can help get you back to stock usage. Breast implants really are not that great, have you sucked on any yet?? Very strange, at least to me, I have seen a few sets that did not look bad though. And long travel is a bit over the top, if you want long travel, take the 5k and grab a TJ and lift it, you can get alot more travel with straight axles. Good luck !!!!

    I'd buy a Honda RC51 SP2 but since that's not on the list I'd go for Long travel.

    It would be tempting to spend it on mods, but I'd probably just pay the truck off earlier.

    Hookers and blow should be one of the options. Otherwise I'm thinking lockers and re-gear. Lockers make a world of difference when your popping over curbs and short concrete walls.

    It's an 89 Toyota Pickup. I got some stuff done to it.. FJ axles going under it soon.
    Tubing to build sliders, plate to build front and rear bumpers.
    Winch
    Plate to build belly skids
    Lockers front and rear
    Hi lift, onboard air, and a can crusher.

    That's about all 5 grand would do
