Well I cut the distance in half and put my cart away and he comes up to me and says "I hope you don't mind me asking but what size tires you got" I tell him. Then he says "That is a gorgeous truck." I thanked him, and walked away feeling good.
With just my 2.5in kit and 35's I have gotten more compliments than I can remember. It is nice that there are people that do appreciate the things we do to our trucks, even if many other's don't. I'll get that 6in lift after the wedding and hopefully get a few more compliments, but either way, I'll have the satisfaction of knowing that this is MY truck!!!!

yeah i just got 35's for mine about 1,000 miles ago, but i'm gonna order 37's in february. and i had new 20's didn't like them so i ordered new ones about 300 miles later. so my wife thinks that is crazy, and yes she stays pissed off about buying stuff for it! maybe crazy, but i'm doing it anyway. i work to make money, so i might as well spend it. it's what i want, so why not!

I'll tell ya a good little story.

My wife is a Dallas Cowboys fan and we were living in Dallas. I got my bonus in February and I decided to suprise her and buy season tickets. But I waited till her birthday in August to tell her about it.

When I gave her the gift she asked me where I got the money. I said...my bonus. She asked "Back in february?!?" I said yes. She retorts with...

"I thought you spent all that money on your stupid motorcycle!"

She hasn't complained since about what I spend my money on. Sure I get some eye rolling and such...but no complaining. And all my friends are motorcycle people so they understand the sickness.

Congrats to you, and you'd better dump the fiance. Just think if she was your wife 9or maybe you mean she just gives you ome good natured kidding). Mods are part hobby, part addiction--some folks like us derive emense enjoyment form their rides. We spend enough time in them, and sometimes the to and from work in them is a highlight in the day. So mod on brother!

I always upgrade my vehicles, my cars, my bike, and now my truck.

At first my family was a little uneasy about it but after just selling my 5th vehicle and making a VERY decent profits (made 6K), they see there is a method to my madness.

Some people say mods can decrease the value of a truck, I say bull****. I have NEVER not made money on a vehicle sale. There is always a market and key upgrades put your sale ahead of the average unit out there.

So have fun with it and look at it as an investment.
