Money Burning a Hole...

... so I'm starting to think of things I should get. Got a little over $300 right now and I'm getting the mod bug itch again.

So:

- ScanGauge?
- Westin BBar?
- Save more for a Gryphon?
- Other?

The Gryphon is the single mod that I just could not do without. Would hate to give up my wheels, the tint, and the exhaust would be painful, but nothing like the Gryphon. I have had it over 3 years and if it goes out on me, I am ordering another.

Eh, unless your into saving gas, dont bother with the SG2. Go with the Gryphon. Whats your truck look like? I think a bull bar would be a good present to self.

I would buy a leveling kit and a used Edge Evo off here. Truck will look better and have some extra power.

Thinking along those lines right now...
I know I can handle the lvl kit, just need to look into the instructions/mod time.
Evo vs. Gryphon... grr...

What you might do is pick up a used Edge at a good price, then later convert it to the Gryphon with custom tunes. The Edge is a great improvement and I was satisfied with it for 2 years. Since it is a "universal, off the shelf" product, they left some untapped performance in order to please the majority and be safe. The custom tune gets a little more out of the engine, plus it is tailored to how you want to drive and your mods.

I think that is the best idea. Leveling kit and the Edge now, then you can convert to the Gryphon just as bluejay did when you want a lil more power. Believe me though the Edge makes a very noticable difference. I got my Edge Evo used on here for $225 and it looked brand new still.
