Ok got my bonus check today.

I dont want to spend it all but I do want to get something.

What do I get.

Access Cover or
FX4 Rims or
K&N Intake or
Mp3 player

 

and address it to Me - ReelWork!

If you don't like that, get a supercharger and send it to me to make sure it will work on your rig...

Later,

Chris (ReelWork)

Yes, as a matter of fact, I am 5 years old! LOL

 

Get a Chip or MicroTuner!!!! Just my $.02

 

I wouldn't get the FX4 rims unless you REALLY like them and know someone who will sell them to you for CHEAP.

I don't think they look as good on a 2wd truck, I guess that is part of the reason why I bought a 4wd truck.

The MP3 player would be nice if you wanted to make a lot of new cd's all of the time. I guess it would be nice to be able to listen to about 140 or more songs on one cd, but you would probably get tired of those songs too. There are only so many songs that you can download and put on a cd before you get tired of it and have to make a new one. I would look more towards getting XM radio or something like that, or maybe doing the 6cd changer in dash mod.

I don't know much about the access cover, so I will leave that up to you.

As far as K&N filter, that is one that I am debating doing. The FIPK looks very nice and I hear good things about the drop in, but I think I am going to at least wait until the current filter needs replacing.

That is at least 0.25 worth of opinion.

 

tfleming,

Depends on what you want to have first.

The prices of the stuff above don't look to be equal, FX4 rims vs a FIPK. That would be one heck of a deal on those wheels, if so jump on them, even if they need new skins now. That deal wouldn't be around long, but the FIPK you can get all day long at that price.

If you don't have a need for the cover for function, I'd do the performance kick first, and go with the FIPK & a chip first ( staying at the cost of the FX4 wheels ). I always did the go then show items, but that is me, some don't really care about the go part, and want the protection and looks first.

Then a quick fix is a cat back to finish it off.
This is in the realm of ~ 900.00 ( SWAG ) depending on which type of each you choose. This still seems to be in the range of the FX4 wheels and skins if your old ones don't match size wise.

You can always wait on the wheels until you need tires, then figure the change out that you'd do at that time.

Depends on if you have a deal waiting that makes the FX4 wheels very reasonable, that seems to be a huge item on the list, and for the cost new, you could buy a few other items off the list ( or ones not noted ).

The MP3 player you'll have to look for other advice, I still have the stock head unit and the 6 CD changer in mine, and with the small addition of tweeters it is good to go ( Miles sounds real good now ). Lot cheaper to burn CDs and put them in the changer for me. Don't know if you even have the tock CD player, thus the reason to look at that ???

Good luck picking out some stuff, it will be a good choice no matter what you get

Easy discision:

Do you want to...

-Look good?
-Sound good?
-Go faster?
-Protect stuff in the back?

I would go for the performance upgrades but the cover may be more practical if you keep stuff in the back.

I wouldn't waste my money on Ford wheels, I would get a third party brand.

MP3 player is cool but then you should upgrade your speakers.

I wish I got bouns checks

 

I have a Kenwood MP3 919 and it is pretty cool, but like the other guys ahve said, you get tired of the songs aftera while. Sirius or XM would be cool also, but that is out of my range, not sure about your range. I have been thinking about a Access Cover for a while, just put a post about it up last night. Your call though, they all sound like good options. Good job ont he bonus too.

 

I know of a set of FX4 wheels that are NEW IN A BOX here in Kentucky. Email me if you're interested in getting the guy's name that has them available.

i have a mp3 player Sony and if you download alot of music it rocks. You can keep adding your songs to the same cd untill you fill it up, that way if you only download a couple of songs you put in your cd and add them to it instead of burning and wasting an entire cd to listen to the few songs. You can fit 10 - 12 cds on one 800mb disc so that disc is alot better than the in dash 6 disc changer its an in dash 10 - 12 disc changer. The Changer also doesnt tell you the names of songs and stuff you have to remember track numbers, my scrolls the artist and song name. But somebody said something about exhaust for 900 if your showing your truck thats cool but i got a flow installes for 215 and it sounds good and i would reccomend that too. So how much is the check?

 

Sorry if that was vauge, that was to be a total for a cat-back, FIPK and Chip, depending on how carried away you get on each one.

Would you get the ROUSHFAN-1 FIPK and a Bassani cat-back and SuperChip MT for that ?? Oh NO That is more like 1,800.00.

Sorry if my post above was unlcear.

Steve

 

I guess I should have been a little clearer.

The FX4 rims would be used and around 350 dollars.

The cover would help when we go camping , to keep our stuff dry. Plus it looks cool.

I really want a FIPK but im concerned about possible noise cost vs performance.

My bonus was about 1200 dollars after taxes. I dont want to spend it all but I do want to spend about 400 dollars on something for my truck. Plus it makes my wife mad when I buy stuff for my truck
