How much have you spent on BOMBing?

A poll is a pretty good way to answer this question as some may be "sensitive" to the thought of revealing this to just anyone (especially the S. O. ).



So here's the gig: how much have you spent on just modifications to your truck? This can include anything to the engine, drivetrain or body; just not maintenance or repair costs.



[Sorry for the stupid typo , BB wouldn't let me fix it]

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

That was UGLY!! Never added it up before!

Stereo Count?

Hey guys:



Do stereo mods count as well or are we just counting engine mods?

 

[Big MAK]

Dang! Forgot the stereo. Can I vote again?



Wheels 1000

Lift and Suspension 500

Computer 700

Injectors 750

Injectors 300 (yep, did twice)

Exhaust System 1000

Mag Hytec 240

Brush Guard 700

Lights 400

Stereo 300

Bed Liner 200

Bed Rails 100

Floor Mats 250

PrimeLoc 250

K&N 50

Intake Hoses and Clamps 100

Gauges 200

Rancho 9000s 400

... $7440 and counting

(plus: CB, Antennas, ... , Should I count the stuff I broke?)



edit: forgot the ebrake! +$900



I started listing figuring I'd forget something otherwise... now I need to vote again... seems I was a few grand short.



Holy Cow Batman!



Now there's one heck of a good arguement for keeping it fixed and on the road. If I bought a new one I'd have to start all over again! That's what I keep telling the wife too... it's not that I don't like the new trucks it's that it would take another three years to get it the way I like it!



WooHoo! Seeing as how I'm the moderator and all I get to edit the poll! So my vote is now in there with the big spenders. I swear... . I couldn't read the ballot the first time... can I vote again? Those arrows are soooo confusing...

In my mind, anything that changes/replaces/improves upon original is a tax deduction..... er I mean a BOMB

 

[Bigsaint]

I've only spent about $250. 00 so far, just ask my wife

[SteveAZ]

The more bombs = number of burnt tires, thus more $$$ and counting.

 

[JohnMcIntyre]

Stock as a rock!

<font color = blue> My wife really appreciates how "responsive" our truck is..... and I have no intention of disillusioning her either .

 

[Straight6Jeff]

it does add up quickly, and my future list is extensive. So far it's a $4500 tally. I figure i have another 4G to go before i am temporarily satisfied.

Ain't that the truth bro!

 

[JConley]

I guess I should have added things up before I voted... . Oh Yea... I was using the numbers I show my wife ... Yea thats it !!!!



Too late to go back and change my vote to a higher bracket now...

 

[Extreme1]

More qualifications:

Does a NEW transmission count? The old one died and there were several improvements.



How about bigger tires?



Glad I read other's posts, my first stab at it almost DOUBLED!!

LOL..... me to I have only spent a few hundred dollars too. Dam we got a good deal huh Bigsaint.

 

[KWIKKURT]

Revised Bombing $$$$$

I recalculated to what it would cost if I started over and Bombed to the level that I am at now. It is atleast half of what I have spent R&D testing. It also is a lot easier to live with!

 

[midnight1black]

money spent ????

Good call Bigsaint I think I will tell my wife the same thing ha ha. Maybe she will never find out

how much I really spend.

Jeff, you and CobraJet both have/had both trucks (not sure the Dmax is a real truck yet ). What do you think of the PSD now that you've had it a while?

 

[RustyJC]

Heck, I'm spending money for goodies and I don't even have the truck yet. I spent 3 hours last night trying to figure where I can plug this Edge EZ into the V-10's ECM!
