Man you guy's are manin up the cash just for a few miles with the Boyzzz! AHhahaaaaaa. I thought I was goin all in by thinkin about buyin a Structural Foam tool chest to strap in the bed and my CB antenna I bought, oh and that $40 helmet. I may have to camp outside the place. I will be embarassed at the lack of mods. Oh WAIT, I can camp in, I spent $70 on mud flaps! AHhahaaaaaaa.

Got bored after the weekend of rain and when the sun came back Sunday I went out and installed my Optima I've had laying around for three weeks and one of three fire extinguishers I had stowed in the the tool boxes.
Yeah, I'm pretty stoked to go and Git R Done!

You can Poor Boy it with me!
Not like anybody will be sleeping in those cheap tents.
We'll probably be looking for missing bodies each morning! Hahahaha
Where do I buy a cheap helmet that I'll probably never use again?
Know any place around our stomping grounds?

You have a smaller head than me so try CYCLE GEAR. They have many 3/4 helmets but they run small. Most are imports. Neat hid away sun shades at the push of a button, fighter pilot looking ones. Made by BILT which is their brand.

You can try Pepboys if you have one around. They have some cheap helmets over by the import scooters and go carts. The one near me was out of most helmets but usually has a dozen or so.

I need another fire extenguisher so I will follow you through the first 3 turns and pick yours up when it flys off! AHahhaa. Please tell me you will use a real hose clamp on there and not that plastic clip. I love those batts.

I'm the same way, when I first bought this truck I was coming off of a GT500 that I had $20K into in aftermarket and I thought I'd go hog wild with the Raptor too. Then I realized, I live in a huge, sprawling metropolis and this truck may see action like this 2-4 a year at best. At that rate it just isn't worth the investment for the suspension upgrades when 98% of the time I'll be cruising it down the Toll road on my way to work. I'd love to get all stupid with products from the many great vendors on here but until I move to someplace like Nevada/Arizona/SoCal (which will likely be never) and I can consistently hit the dirt at a moments notice, I'll just have to keep my mods to a minimum. Now if I could just get some flipping wheels before this event, stupid Chinese backorders.
