Re: Not bad

OK, now how much can I make by blackmailing all you with this info? What's it worth to ya for me to keep this our little secret???

LOL... I've spent no where near you guys, and I make damn sure that I don't add it up. I simply don't WANT to know...

That is a pretty impressive list and not an unreasonable price considering all that you have done to your rig. Gives us guys who are in some stage of modding our rigs a parts list to work by! I think about the only thing on there that I would really have no use for considering my geographical area is the Marlin crawler.

I did notice that you have some cornfed spacers front and back with your SAW/OME setup. About how much overall lift do you figure you have on your rig?

Exterior
Griot's products - $275
Porter Cable Orbital - $155
WeatherTech Visors - $100
Bug guard - $75
TRD Decals - $15
Window Tinting - $60
Clear Corners and bumpers - $140
Taco Whip Antenna - $100
Hella 500 fogs - $100
Yotatech decals - $20

Wheels & Tires
(5) Tech 1 Rockcrawlers - $353
(5) Goodyear MT/Rs - $925
Black lugnuts and lock set - $53

Interior
Maglite - $25
Husky liners (all) - $275

Performance
Deckplate Mod - $10
Amsoil air filter - $45
Rear Diff Breather - $20
Hayden Tranny Cooler #1678 - $100

Lift/Suspension
2" Roger Brown body lift - $166
Panhard Drop Bracket - $0
E-brake bracket - $0

Recovery
(4) Shackle hangers - $0

Total so far: $3012

Hence the lack of your presence on the DeSoto Mine run. It’s a pay to play sport.

Good point; however, I don't think it's worth it to invest any money into a truck I don't plan to keep for a very long time.
