Gentlemen (I use that term loosely, @Oldfart and @smurfslayer ) :D

My bday is in a few days, and like most of us...I buy everything I want, when I want it, so bdays and holidays are tough on the old lady...she enacted a buying freeze after Halloween for this very reason.

I have a 2018 with all sorts of stuff, but I'm curious what item I NEED that I don't have yet. Something off-road focused would be cool as I'm building it up to be a camping rig. Any ideas of must have gadgets for the truck or to compliment the lifestyle? I was thinking a train horn and some Buick fender emblems, but I can't find them in foil neon pink...

Under $500...thinking maybe a CO2 setup...what you think? What's on your wish list?

How about a miniature RC truck (Traxxas or something similar). I have a Traxxas Summit and a Traxxas Stampede which are great for killing time at a campsite, etc.... It is a blast trying to see what the Summit is able to climb up and crawl over verses the Stampede which can be really fast and does a great job tearing up some ground at high speeds. If your truck is already well equipped, this could be another fun alternative.

That's a great idea...I had a nitro one back in the day, I hear the Li ones are really sweet now and a lot less to deal with.

have a look at some of the equipment threads for ideas. Or, dig for one of @Big Blue ’s pictures of his bed farkles for inspiration.

Got new wheels yet? gift card to one of our supporting vendors for wheels?

Jeez, I don't remember what you have so far. My favorite general stuff in that range would be BD pocket lights, a nice set of rear lights, Second Skin matting for the cab, ceramic window tint. Off Road oriented, I would have to agree with Noah, I would look at on board air.
