Graduation Presents!

So I graduated last weekend! Whoo hoo!
I got some money and a sweet new tool box!
These are some pictures of the toolbox and the new tint I had put on. The tint is 5%, yes I know its illegal, but cops dont really have a problem around here, and I have my front windows down almost all the time anyway. The toolbox is a camlocker, low-pro, deep style. And then there are a couple shots of the good old yota flexing
Also I have some more money left over and was thinking of putting it towards either a locker or even a 5 speed swap. What do you guys think?

Illegal tint is the best kind of tint.

I'd go for the 5 spd swap. More fun to drive.

Yeah its my DD for now, and probably for a while. Gas is killing me and also it being so dang sluggish. That is why I was thinking the 5 speed. The problem with the 5 speed is I have never done something so complicated. I would have access to a lift and tools, and another friend to help, but it would have to be done fast so I could get back driving and have it out of the shop in a weekend. I have read the write ups and it doesnt sound too bad, but I am scared of messing something up. I want to only have to do it once. Keep it coming with the opinions guys!

I'd do the 5spd swap. You'll use it a lot more often than the lockers. I don't care much for auto's, myself.

Lucky, when I graduated high school and college I got a big fat nothing. Actually, I guess $27,000 in debt isn't nothing.

Thats not nothing... that less than nothing

27,000 aint too bad if you got a college education with it. My sister is graduating this year and her college is going to cost about 27,000 a year.

wonder where she is going to come up with $108,000

If that's the case, spend some of that money on tuning up the motor or getting parts for it, cam, exhaust, wires , etc.

Whatever you have left, put towards the wheelin parts!

Just my $.02

Congrats!!!!

That right there is a really nice tool box. If I wasn't already in debt with a truck bed tent set up I'd put a box just like that in mine.

Oh and are those fishin' poles I see? Catch anything??
