WOW..... that is a big and expensive question. Many on this site spend huge amounts of money on their trucks and other vehicles I suppose. WHY??? Because it's fun!! At least thats my answer. I love working on trucks and modifying things. Well at least I love working on MY truck and other cars, not that crazy about working on other peoples stuff. Usually because most others are always spending more energy trying to save a nickle, then caring about doing the job right, the first time.



I am also a nut for records, I enjoy keeping detailed records for everything I own. I can recall every accessory, oil change and even tank of fuel i purchased since ownership. I do it for all my vehicles, and enjoy it.



My 1997 3500 was ordered on 05-12-96. Took possession on 10-14-96, and have enjoyed it ever since. 2003 was a good year I spent around 16,000. 00 on parts and pieces including ATS stage 4, buckstops, Alcoa wheel ans tires, exhaust system and so on. 2004 was fun but not so expensive, I sprung for around 11,000. 00 that year. So far 2005 has been my lightest year, but thats only because I have several Irons in the fire, and they are all expensive. But I am enjoying all the new doodads from years past. Since I bought the truck I have spent I have spent a very well recorded $43,714. 06. No regrets, I have enjoyed every last red cent. Oh..... After the new garage and some other business ventures get going, I have plenty of ideals for new projects.
 
heck i have spent about 2200 so far this month. 1200 for vp44, 165 for lift pump. about 140 for new rear wheel bearings. 200 for custom exhaust. 500 for 4 new tires. still need the other two. needs ball joints at 300 my cost for parts.



earlier this year 300 for injectors, like 350 for gauges, and 50 for a used boost fooler. so for the year so far about 3000. and im sure there will be more when money allows.

I'm embarrased and ashamed to say. Have made several DOC's in several states simply delighted to meet me this past year.

Of course, I was free and clear 'til I found this site! :-laf Thanks everyone for all the great help and suggestions. I found out that I REALLY like my truck. New tires are coming, maybe some more engine fancies when my wife isn't looking. ;)
 
I did the math about a week ago. Started as a DRW, bombed it. Unbombed it. Met Kroeker, SRW it. Then Kore came into play. Since then I have had 2 sets of wheels, four sets of tires, three sets of springs, two sets of leaf packs, two bumpers, Turbo and motor crap, three exhausts and a fourth sitting on the garage floor, three pairs of front shocks, more to come, three sets of rear shocks,( mind you that some of the shocks cost $750 each :rolleyes: ) fiberglass, more performance stuff, more lights, stereo, and the list still changes daily. I am a sick man that has a $40K truck that would be worth over $60K easy. Dealer said that they will give me $21K for it. Yea OK jackask!!!!! I think I'll keep her... ... . Is this a contest that we don't even know about?

I spent $1100 on Diprico gauges, MBRP exhaust, PML trans pan, and AFE airfilter. Got a second job just to pay for it. Now my bride won't let me quit the job because she likes the extra money. I did something wrong somewhere...

A whole bunch!!! I just dropped another $4100 into it yesterday. :{



Let's just say that I have spent a lot more on my truck in the past few months than I have on my girlfriend- and she is well aware of it. I NEED HELP!! :-laf





I don't see the need for help... Just buy some more stuff for the truck and your girlfriend some of that expensive #2 perfume :-laf



I have spent a little more than $2200

GEEZ! I can't justify spending much more than the monthly payment on my truck every month. Don't get me wrong, I would love to have a set of twins on my truck :D

Since I purchased it in Sept. 03 I have only added the stuff in my signature. My wife was going to get me a water-meth kit for Christmas but I still couldn't justify that. Maybe I need some help :( :confused:
 
I feel bad, I'm really ashamed of my self. :eek: I obviously don't love my truck enough! ;) In the last 2 years-

225 guages and pod

150 exhaust housing

425 tires

100 a-arm bushings and 2 balljoints

20 tach

55 battery

125 prodigy brake controller

soon-700 on new intercooler

So, 1100 without the IC, my poor baby is deprived! :D
 
Junior is all stock. I'd never do anything that might affect the warranty.

I also have some central Nevada land with oceanfront view for sale cheap.
 
I have spent around $6,000 in the last 1 1/2 years. Its a tuff job hiding this stuff from the wife :-laf My truck is kind of like my girlfriend I don,t have,so I have to spend it on my truck :-laf coobie
