I like the RBP and Fuel grills, but are very expensive. I'm looking at $450 for the FX4 grill then another $1k for the RBP insert. Not sure if it's worth it.
I got lucky and the land was family land given to me. If I were you the first investment once you graduate should be in property. It will never depreciate.
How are you liking your wheels since you've had them for some time now?

i see what you mean, my opinion was based on keeping the chrome bumpers and shell, and have a full mesh replacement meshpowdercoated to match with the sterling grey, that way you'd pay the 800 towards the mesh plus PC'd to match the truck. thats what i would do. if mines had chrome bumpers, but i plan on color matching everything.

im not much of fan of the bars running down the middle either, the fx4 shell seems to be about right. the center would be billet tho i assume?
the diffrence between the two would become the best deal both are great. the downfall with the black mesh is the chrome rims idk how that would work out. its a tough one nonetheless, grills always make or break the truck,
and my leveling kit has torn the cv boot on the drivers side, spilled the grease and slung it when i tested the 4x4 when i got the wheels on. i could do rancho quicklits and drop a half inch but that aint a option with the 10" wide wheels

Fun would be an understatement.
I've owned racing 4-wheelers, a jet ski, street bike and a boat. This and my Rancher 420 are by far the funnest toys I've owned so far. The side by side is more comfortable and relaxing. I have an audio system on order to make riding much better. It's nice to be able to stick an ice chest in the back and ride the trials along with getting dirty. I take care of it and clean it very good, but it's not for show like my truck is. The snorkels aren't on for decoration. lol When we're drinking we stay off of the highway so this is one of the few motorized vehicles you can drink while driving/riding. Just have to be civilized while doing so. Most of the time I don't see speeds over 20 mph.

It hits the rev limiter at 68. I only do 20 when alcohol is involved. lol. When riding around the house I keep the factory rims/tires on. The larger grips tend to cut up my yard and they're a rougher ride. With the stock wheels it's very smooth. Like you aid at 60 mph on rough terrain it handles great.
The 400ex's are great bikes. Not as fast as the 450's, but you'll enjoy it. Here is one I had set up for the track.
