    I dont know i remember some guy on here posting a build that was ridiculous. Of course he probably did more then just a SAS but i remember that being the basis of his build. I think he did frame reinforcement and lockers and pretty much everything lol.

    Sorry, but you are crazy. Admitting that you have a problem is the first step to getting better. It's good that you took the initiative to come on here to be with others that share the same sickness... now follow the mods page to a full and happy recovery!

    Women, can't live with em....

    Hah, my wife's quote today upon seeing another box on the porch (WT floor mats!) was something like: "you've spent $3,000 on that thing since you bought it..."

    Well not quite. Got it last week and have done:
    Tonneau tri-fold, nice.
    CK seat covers, love em.
    Plasti sprayed the chrome...more to come
    Weathertech floor mats for front- going in truck tomorrow
    Cab cover for snow and such- still waiting on that sucker...dang, I told her I was done buying stuff too, doh. :D

    So yeah, you're as crazy as all of the folks here apparently.

    If youre talking about Demello, that truck has WAY more than just a SAC and it's not really fair to say he spent $50K on just the axle conversion

    Thanks guys! It helps a lot knowing I'm not alone. I already spent morethan 2 gran in just a month time. But the best thing is I REALLY ENJOY IT! My problem now is, wifey said it's alright with her as long as I will customize hers also (Armada 08). Now, it's getting way more expensive!!!!!!:rolleyes:
