tax return, new goodies.

I got my taxes back yesterday, and so I did the only sensible thing... spent money on my truck of course. I had been trying to decide whether or not to put aftermarket wheels on my truck or stay w/ the stock chrome clad wheels. I decided to get a set of 17" black pro-comp wheels and a set of the nitto 295/70/17 tires. I also got a superlift add a leaf kit all from 4 wheel parts. I went through their website, but decided to call instead. The guy on the phone got me a better price by 150.00...awesome. I have a 3" fat bob's front levelling lift, plus a camper top so that left my truck, nose up a little bit, hopefully the add a leaf will remedy that. Pics to follow, in a few weeks when all the stuff gets here and installed.

Mine was going to go towards truck goodies. Then I remembered spring/summer/fall (riding season) is right around the corner and the bike needs goodies too!

I was going to start a thread about this, but I was beat to it!

Our tax return was quite nice this year, and I convinced the wife to let me spend some money on goodies for the truck.

Just today, I bought:
2.5" Autospring front level kit
1.5" Autospring rear lift kit
HD headlights
HD taillights
Magnaflow 16616

I still want:
S&B intake
N-Fab cab length step nerf bars
Saleen S331 grill
Rhino lining spray-in bedliner

And maybe down the road:
17" Dick Cepek Black DC-1s
Some 35x12.5x17 AT tires (still undecided)
Road Armor front bumper replacement
6" Fabtech lift kit

Of course, I have to get permission from the CFO (the wife) on any purchases I make. I made a deal that we can get a new bedroom suite ($2100!) if I get to spend some money on the truck.

was gonna buy the 35" BFG KM2's for my truck, but the wife intervened.

I made a deal with her in Oct to buy my Supercharger. She gets to spend $ for $ what I spent...and she remembered.


Still gonna get some Troyer tuning, but that's about it for my truck and goodies.

Now I gotta fly the in-laws to Hawaii and pay for everything. At least the SUV got tires, it was needing them...got the new Goodyear Silent Armor's

My wife said that to me too. Unfortunately, she has a waaaaay better memory than me
