Enough...

 

Not enough, it's never enough. Not meaning to play on DTF's enough. It just worked out that way.

 

So how do we bump our vote up to the next level?

 

I'd like to un-vote my original vote and up the ante. On second thought, I'd also like to un-vote my previous vote and go for $15,000 + cause this is never going to end.

 

I have (retail) around 4k in stereo, by the time I'm done it will be around 10-15k

And you can BARLEY hear it from outside the truck when the stereo is up. Sound deadening FTW. Really the stock stereo is louder with the windows rolled then mine is after I sound deadened the truck.

I'm an audio freak. I don't ever plan on jumping my truck, driving up big rocks, pre-running it or anything that would require me to have more suspension. I'm getting ready to buy an off road rig to beat the shit out of that for just that reason.

The only time I go off road currently is to find a spot to shoot guns. This truck needs to last me 10+ years easy. Since I spend a ton of time inside my truck, I want it to be as comfortable and enjoyable to me as possible. To me dropping 10k in a stereo is no different than people dropping 10k into a suspension. It's all about what YOU want your ride to do.

 

I spent the right amount for me. I am done upgrading for a long time now.

 

My truck already had Fox 2.5" Coilovers up front with Reservoirs, Fox 2.0 in rear with Reservoirs, 17" Moto Metal Wheels, BFG M/Ts, Doug Thorley Long Tubes, 2.5" ReadyLift Spacers, AAL, All-Pro Front Bumper, Smittybilt XRC8 Winch, Synthetic Winch Line, Dynamatted Rear Wall, and a Fujita intake.. so whatever all of that was worth plus everything I've done since I bought it in October 2012.. which is a few dollars shy of $8,000 right now. Lift, Tires, & Rear Bumper being my largest purchases.. the rest was all stereo/lighting/steps/tint/bed cover/weathertechs/train horns.. etc.

 

I'm right around $5K right now with pretty minimal mods to my '11. Grille guard, 3" suspension lift, rims/tires, cat back exhaust, tool box, and sound system.

 

Say it with pride man !!!

 

This was over a year & 1/2 ago, done a few more MODS but still under $1000

 

If engine rebuild, tires, and a fuel pump count as mods, I'm in the hole for about $2400 now.

 

I'm at about $3600 right now. I don't plan on much more but every single person on this forum knows that is impossible.
