~ What's Next!?

OK I am really getting enticed by the new trucks....been looking at them a lot lately! Problem is the COST....My truck is paid for and only 53k mi on the clock. I do not really want to trade it in cause I would have to add $15-$20k on top to get a newer truck, Not to mention another $10k to get it where I want it (with lift, tires, wheels etc.)

SO....

I have to make mine better so I will want to keep it, but how!? I could do a lot with my truck for $15k LOL
Only thing I KNOW I want to get is a Leather kit, fix the window squeek and get my plugs changed out. Maybe a set of AMP Power steps....

Check my site for what I have done already and give me inputs!!!

(Is modding my truck even more just a waste of time? You think I should just trade up now?)

I was in the same boat as you, my 05 has about 74000 on it now and my interior was worn out. I started thinking about new trucks but ended up putting a leather kit in and a brand new Kenwood Nav unit with a few other goodies. Feels like a new truck now and I am glad I did not take on a new payment.

Cash is King... Why live in debt if you dont have too, make the mods to your truck and forget about the 300-500 monthly payment.
