    Don't buy a $300.00 gun unless someone is giving you a buddy deal.
    Save enough for something of a bit higher quality.

    If $300.00 is all, buy ammo for the future firearm.

    5100's all around, 265/75/16 BFG ATKO's on MB Razor's, short shift, clutch mod, tsb springs, tsb aal
    300 in ammo would be a fun day in the desert. Then again so would a $200 car. Better yet combine the two!

    TL projectors and ballasts to start your retro....(sorry, just had to!!)

    but really, i'de say 5100s from downsouthmotorsports.com. you'll get 4 brand new shocks and be able to lift the front up to 2.5" for the great low price of $300 (pending you do the install yourself!!)

    im not checking any "thing" under anything...!!

    well, since you asked, you can get "good" projectors (from TLs, S2000s, FX35s, etc...) from egay, HIDplanet.com/forums in the for sale section, or check out theretrofitsource.com. i highly suggest TL projectors w/ ZKW-R clear replacement lenses. now remember, doing this will require some retrofitting in order to be installed in your headlights. check the link in my sig for more info. but, if you hold on to that money, i'm planning on making a completely bolt on OEM HID retrofit kit...

    12 gauge for the truck. Plus, guns don't depreciate much.
    The tailgate lock? Not my choice. Carry full deductible (zero deductible) comprehensive and anything that is a part of the vehicle (stolen/vandalized/etc) is covered.
