    I think you answered your own question. Bumpers it is. Your tire rack const didn't work out so good,,so get a bed mount+ with the money.

    Holy smokes man.. Why is everyone in so much debt? Don't spend money you don't have that's the rule I live by(Except emergencies). Insurance is a good idea but I already calculate that out of my weekly paycheck so... To the last guy not sure what that vote was towards? The BAMF bed rack with/ tire mount or the CBI bumper?

    Only debt I have is my truck and student loans. In a perfect world we could all live debt free, but sometimes materialistic wants, life in general happens. Its what you do to fix it that counts. Trading in an upside down truck loan, etc, isnt always the option either. Just saying not everyone is debt free or can be. But kudos to you.

    Nice
    So that's
    2 for the bumper
    1 for rims
    1 for ucas
    The bumper will definitely make my truck look a lot less shity. But so will all the other choices lol.

    Jeez, nobody's said save it for retirement, yet. You'll be glad you did.

    And adjust your W-4 so you're not loaning the govt so much money for free.

    Yea I guess that's true. I've worked pretty damn hard for all the stuff I have. I knew school wasn't for me and didn't bother going to college. I was a plumber for about 6years and am now an estimator for the same plumbing company. Luckily my dad knew I was headed this direction and helped me pay for my truck when I graduated high school.

    Haha midswell open up a 401k while I'm at it DAD. Lol.. Eh i don't mind loaning my govt money.. It's only about one paycheck a worth. I just like getting double pay checks at the begining of each year instead of the extra 10 or 20$ per check..

    You can wheel a lifted truck but obstacles will ruin it, you will have a little more trouble without the lift but the armor will help you stay protected. Do a bumper, personally I would do skids first then bumpers then lift then wheels and tires last

    If it's only $20 paycheck thinking 26 check a year that $520. If that equals one bi-weekly paycheck I would say save it and don't spend it on anything!

    Did my taxes last night I'm getting 800$ back. I make about 630$ a week. I get 52 checks not 26

    I already am almost fully armored out actually. Just need to make time to get everything on the truck. I have a skid(not full set..), a bumper(front), sliders, and suspension.

    So now bumper is way ahead

    Im still trying to figure out why hookers and blow are completely out of the question ? You said you never tried but there is a first for everything. Anyway regardless of that i would go with the bumper.
