Well, I'll see if I can remember them all and what I paid, not including the labor.



Psychotty $149

K&N RE-0880 $49

Smittybilt nerf bars $205

Armacoating bed liner $375 *

HX40 $775

DD Dtage 3's $700

DD TTPM $449

South Bend Con 01 FE clutch $890

Jardine 4" exhaust $485

MagView front & rear diff covers $398

Hitco exhaust manifold blanket $99

ISSPRO EGT & boost gauges ~$100

Galaxy CB & antenna $200

North West Custom SS rocker panels $250

Michael Brolin CB mounting bracket $35

Brandon's braided SS fuel line upgrades $200

Iceman's TDR logo decals $20. 50 (almost forgot :eek: )

---------------------------------------------------------------

Total: $5379. 50



* since this was a professional job, I have no idea how much was labor and how much was for the product itself. All other BOMBs that were professionally installed, such as the HX40 and gauges, I included only the cost of the parts and not installation carges. Some items do include shipping charges, such as the clutch, Jardine exhaust.....



I also did not include the cost of the various Amsoil I have put in the transmission, transfer case and both differentials.



I probably have that much more in future BOMBs as well :D :rolleyes: :eek:

custom aluminum box cover between the side boxes

some sort of grille guard setup

more gauges!

Box Upgrade to COMP

Probably DDII injectors

turbo upgrade

4" headpipe

lift pump/fuel line upgrade

Horton fan clutch

South-Bend clutch

Bilstein shocks

larger fuel tank

front levelling kit

Mag-Hytec diff covers

315/75R16 tires

interior sound insulation

some other assorted driveline BOMB's

and probably some more stuff I can't remember right now :D



If my math is correct I'm at $13315 in addons on the truck already, with another $830 sitting waiting... I didn't count all the tools I've put in the truck for my job, the fire extinguisher (which I had already), my phone (which I just moved across into the truck), or the company radio that I installed (around $1000). Also not counting routine maintenance stuff like oil and filters (changed every 5000 km), fuel and air filters, etc.



So do I qualify for an insanity discount yet? Maybe some kind of therapy for the apparent fixation I have with stainless steel

:p
