    I'm going to say I've easily spend more then 5k on my truck in the year I have had it, And the spending hasn't stopped.

    What kind of exhaust did you install? I was thinking about a bank monster or flowmaster but they are upwards of $450.

    Thanks!

    $325 for stereo install.
    $40 for bed cleats.
    $85 for delay wiper switch.
    $100 for Weather-tech liners.
    $60 for new mud flaps.
    $15 for slider lock bar.
    $75 for 6x9 speakers for the doors.

    Had the truck 4 months. I don't count the actual stereo cost which is almost $2000 in all since I have shuttled it from one vehicle to the next for almost 20 years now.

    Next up is fog lights and blackout the rear window.

    It's ironic, we buy Toyotas because they are usually reliable, no worries about a blown engine or transmission a few years down the line. Then we turn around and spend several times that in mods.

    I see I'm in the upper 5th percentile...

    Well after putting 4 years of time and money into it, I am very happy with how much I have spent compared to the monster it has become. It may not be the style everyone likes but it is now a purpose built whoop eater.

    I have bought almost everything used off dezertrangers and race-dezert to keep the costs down compared to ridiculous brand new prices.

    Front Suspension:

    Glassworks 4.5" Fiberglass Fenders: $160
    Custom front kit: $2000
    2.5x10" King Coilovers: $800
    2.0x2.5" King Bump Stops: $400
    Front bumper and Engine Cage: $740
    Limit Straps/ Hardware/ Miscellaneous: $300

    Rear Suspension:

    Tundra Rear Axle: $300
    Giant 64" Leaf Spring Kit: $1600
    2.5x16" King Triple Bypass Shocks: $800
    2.0x4" King Bumpstops: $300
    Glassworks Custom 6" Bedsides: $400
    Tubing/Plating: $500
    Fabrication of bedcage and spring hangers including rear bumper: $1100
    Limit Straps/Hardware/Miscellaneous: $150

    Wheels and Tires:

    MB Motorsports 17x9" Aluminum Rims: $400
    Toyo Open Country M/T 35x12.5: $400

    Lighting:
    32" LED Light bar: $200
    Hella Comet 55W Dust Light: $40
    HID Headlights: $120
    Oval LED tailights/ turn signals: $100

    Interior:

    Alpine 600W 4 channel amp w/ 4 door speakers and head unit: $600
    Alpine 1200W amp w/ Type X Subwoofer: $400
    Heavy-Duty Vinyl Flooring: $150

    Plenty more money to spend in the future but as of now I am at a total of $11,000.

    not sure if i posted in this thread yet but so far

    Tint - $205 or so
    Rims + tires = $900 (the rims were only 300 lol and i wasnt about to run the damn hubcaps no more, tires 650)
    Pioneer headunit after someone stole my sub and kicker 15 and somehow fucked up the preouts $200
    Alarm $300 (they had to put lock acutators in the doors)
    Clear turn signals were probably 20 shipped of ebay i dont remember

    Then theres the repairs which havent been too bad, new tbelt / water pump right after i bought it, clutch bracket broke too (happens to almost every m/t t-100) and the starter went out after i moved to colorado (luckily not on the way)

    adding up the exact cost would be a little too depressing lol. It makes me feel better to just say around 28k.
