    Trust me I live in Vegas and they do not keep the doors open by paying a lot of jack pots. If a casino pays out 10k they took in 250k to pay it out
    The odds are not in your favor. Buy toys

    I would probably buy wheels and tires for my Tacoma and then build a healthy new motor and rebuild the tranny in my Mustang. But more realistically I would use it to pay off my credit card and put the rest in savings. I have a truck for the rare wheeling trips I take these days and for truck shows, one for driving and hauling parts, and a car for going fast, showing, and open track days. I like my Tacoma but I doubt I would ever drop 5 grand in modifications on it. If it was my only vehicle I probably would, but I also recall how my 98 tacoma with a 4" lift and 33's kinda sucked as an only vehicle 10 years ago.

    I'd pay off my debt. If my debt were already magically paid off and I HAD to use the money on the truck...

    Supercharger, suspension, or tires/wheels/stereo/tint.

    Is that even possible?
    Or maybe I should ask, is it better than selling your 2WD and buying a 4WD?

    my friend converted a 1st gen, he had about 2500 $ in it, he had to put a new transmission in, and find a front drive. it is a pretty sweet set up though. But i agree, just buy a 4wd, at least it comes with warranty.
