Would it be a better option to buy a Hood Scoop and wheels, or trade in my truck for a pro?

    Have you ever tried to sell a $31k car privately before? It’s a nightmare. With tax savings and such, you end up selling nearly at the same number.

    I think first off... You should not trade in for a Pro especially a Cavalry blue one. I would really rethink this before you make any sudden moves. I don't think there is anything wrong with getting the hood scoop and wheels that come on a Pro. You are not actually trying to say you have a Pro. Even if you did, who gives a shit? I would say just keep what you have until you really think this through. If you did do it, at least look at a Voodoo blue one in person before you buy the other pastel blue. You may like it more or hate it, but it much nicer in my own opinion.

    Thanks man, appreciate the help.

    Not trying to creep in you, but I seen you are in Virginia and you hunt (at least do archery). Where do y’all hunt down here? I’m looking to join a club, cause hunting outside my patio in my apartment is starting to get risky

    Dude, not to be that guy that tells you truth that you don’t want to hear, but I feel the need to help you out. Your priorities sound a little off.

    First of all, you can spend way less and make an OR way better and more capable than a PRO. Secondly, the PRO wheels suck ass for off-roading because they are glossy (WTF?) and scratch like hell on your first actual off-roading trip. Don’t be a sucker for the PRO market. Not one guy I know who actually uses his truck for what it’s made for bought a PRO. Instead we spent a few bucks (not $10k lol) and made our OR amazingly awesome and more practical than some crazy mark up on a Tacoma. The skewp serves no purpose, but for looks unless you actually plan to make a full air induction system to utilize it.

    If you aren’t aware already Google the Moss Magnusson act. Your warranty will be fine as long as you aren’t cutting frame and changing out major parts like Tranny, front diff, etc. Every time I take my truck in for TSBs or service I never have warranty issues and it certainly doesn’t look stock. Just do your research, save some cash for your lady and/or kid(s) and be smart about your mods based on your needs.

    Hope this helps. Enjoy your truck you worked hard to earn

    Women like bad boys so maybe a hood scoop and blacked out wheels are the ticket. If he rolls up bumping Luke Bryan they melt. Just make sure you have a white trash medallion aka a punisher, superman, or batman logo. Then they'll know you're good with kids, her kids, but make sure you have a double cab because an access cab the child seats won't fit.

    Lol, so I guess a lot of you guys buy trucks to pick up chicks. I just wanted a skewp, and was considering a manual was all... the lady likes my non skewp just fine, and she can drive me home when I have too many burrs

    Educated ladies like guys who are financially savvy. Rich people don’t finance they pay cash for cars...smart women know this.
