AWW SCREW IT!!!
Haha..Well I have been pondering all the mods I want to do to my truck. and after thinking real hard. I think I am just gonna get a new truck. The way I figure:
I have an 04 XL Reg Cab. 5spd 2.3 when considering all I want to do to it:
Intake $200
Exhaust $200+
Any Power Gains $(tuner)450+
Bucket Seats $100-300
Console $20-100
Stero system$ 200-500
Carpet $150
06+ Mirrors $180
06+ Tails $180
Emblems Done
Grille $80-150
Wheels Tires $1000
Lift or Lower $100-2000
Power window
Power Lock
Plus Tons of small things.
In the end its still a reg cab(Need Bigger)Priceless
Along with fixing the current problems:
Messed Up Bumper Front and Back $200 front $500 back(fender damage)
Fixing air bags(Bought them just not in) $My Mech will put them in for $40
Ball joint squeaks $200 in parts god know how much labor
Miss aligned frame and Bed: May be unfixable could have frame damage.
Cost: about $4k Ill never get back
I think I come out better in the Long run to get a better truck:
Something Like: 09 Ranger Sport 4.0 ExCab With Buckets Machined wheels. (Will do carpet on my own) Along with a few options.
I am an Xplan Participant so I get a Little discount. (does any one know if Xplan can be combined with rebates?)
What do you guys think?

Hell I really like those interest rates, But arent they impossible to get without good credit. I mean my score is 680 But 1 im only 17 and 2 have only had credit for a year or two.

How do you have credit if you're only 17? You can't sign a contract untill your 18. I'm confused.

I mean in my reg cab. if i put a box behind her seat she'll be all up on the dash lol.
Like 2k?
Well the frame is ok(i think) the bed i think is torqued. Last time I took the bumper off the front I could tell it had been wrecked once upon a time.
Get on a banks website click apply, enter social and mailing address....wait for card...use card. earn credit.
But I turn 18 in nov. This may not happen until then. I will need my mom as a co-signer.
680 wont get you those % rates especially now. You would need probbaly like a 800 or so
You maybe able to get them if you had a big down payment to go with them/\
