It get expensive owning a new SD
With all the new stuff I want to put on this new truck, I'm about to float a loan at the 2nd Nat'l bank to satisfy my desire in fix'in up this truck with all the cool goodies on the market.
New Weatherguard tool box,
Big horn bull bar,
Piaa fog lights,
Weather Tech window deflectors,
Firestone air bags,
New 5th wheel hitch,
New Airborne pin box for 5'vr so as to be gentle on the truck,
It goes on & on, but this might be my last truck, so why not spend my kid's inheritance.....

Yes, new trucks are very expensive when you need to set it up for work and play. Stuff I've done so far:
Audio upgrades, $550
Fifth wheel rails, $350
Line-X, $250
Air bags and onboard air system, $840
Strobe lights, $290
WeatherTech window vents and floor mats $350
And these are just the essentials.....

Line-X for $250? Man that's a deal and a half! I tell people that the new truck only costs me $26 per month more than the old truck did, but my wife quickly reminds me that it's costing thousands to get everything just the way I had the other one. I was really hoping that she wouldn't pick up on all that!

I know guys who keep a "discretionary account" to fund their strip club ventures and vegas trips without the wife getting upset. I'm starting to think I might need one of those too... to pay for truck accessories

I understand keeping a little stash on the side for fixer-upers. When I need a some quick cash I sell some livestock, my bride doesn't have a clue what's in the pastures. She's not aware that I look and post on different forums, at least I don't think so......

I've added Bilstein shocks, DVD headrests, 2.5 inch level kit and 35" tires, 3M protective covering (like clear bra but better) front to rear bottom 12 inches and front of hood, WeatherTech floor mats front and rear. Separate accounts from the wife helps quite a bit....still looking for bushwacker pocket flares and oh, a new boat...
