    i always have trouble deciding what i want to spend my $ on. here are my 4 choices:

    save it for 2 - 3 weeks and get 5x scs f-5 rims & 33 M/T tires and probably spidertrax spacers

    or

    CBI rear outback 1.0 bumper (my bumper is all cut up and ugly..Also they are having a 50$ off sale.)

    or

    total chaos UCAs (just installed boss coil overs from toytec and could use some UCAs..)

    or

    BAMF bed rack w/ tire mount

    Pay down debit,,you'll wish you had very soon. There is a big shit sandwich on the horizon and we are all gonna have to take a big bite soon. The less debit you have,,the easier it is to swallow.

    At this point in the game, just trying to survive soon will be interesting,,or TAXING,,however you want to look at it.


    If you have the room and are way ahead of the game and almost debit free,,I would buy the tools that would allow me to make my own bumpers/tire racks if I were you. The tools would be a long time tangible asset and might actually make you some money.

    Just my 2.7¢

    Assuming you have NO debt, I'm gonna go with hookers and blow also.

    If you have debt... pay it off.

    Yeah what they said. Being responsible sucks, but I'm using mine to pay off part of my student loans.

    Well shit I feel good about not owning a credit card now because I'm 100% debt free. I'm not a student so no loans and I work full time. Almost all of you said pay your debt.. I didn't get one suggestion about one of the items I listed. I don't do hookers or blow I just watch my friends do it lol. Also I have most of the tools it would take to build a bumper.. It's just id rather spend the money on a bumper that fits, looks nice, and is strong instead of making my own which would take months.. I already tried on my tire rack thing trust me.

    Lol kind of embarrassing but I only know how to drive automatic at the moment. Is SAC the same thing as SAS? Not sure if I really want to go that route since it's my DD.

    Thank you! Finally a real vote lol. So far rims n tires are #1.

    Ultra gauge is now going on my list of things to do.

    Wow pretty even match so far
    Rims-1
    Ucas-1
    Bumper-1

    I'm more of a buy tools as you need them type of guy. Somehow I always end up living a block away from a hardware/auto parts store so making trips to the store is not a big deal for me.
