If you want a truck you buy a Ford.
If you want something that rides like a car you buy a Chevy
If you want the cheapest you buy a Dodge...LOL

Yeah I am not going wild.. Just some needed things.. The rack and rails give me someplace to tie down things
The strobes, because I can't use my magnet mount on the roof anymore..

The first thing I got were nerf steps because Patty couldn't get up in it.

Second was the hard cover.

Third was the Magnaflow exhaust because the stock exhaust was cut up by the previous owner trying to make it sound like a V8.

The mod buying went on until I realized I was spending too much. LOL
