Its about tax retun time and I am trying to figure out what to use my return for. I should be getting anywhere from 2,000 to 2,500 dollars back. All I have done to my truck so far is a WAAG, KC slim lights, headlight mod, K&N panel filter w/ airbox mod, tinted windows and smoked tails. I would love to lift it, get a Bama tuner, exhaust, get a bedrug, and a super topper canvas top for it. I need some help figuring out what to get, Im torn ! Any other suggestions will be pondered as well. I could also get stuff for my quad too. I don't know what to do with the money. I can't say that too often! Help me out guys, give me your two cents.

edit: I have a red 2004 FX4

 

Lift it(Susoension) and get bigger tires, and exhaust, then see what else you can do with the money left over.

 

bama for sure... lift reqires new tires/rims usually... i say get the bama and save the rest up forsomething else...

 

I hope to get between 5K-6K but my wife would kill me if I dumped it into my truck. I have 3 vehicles of my own plus my wifes car and I'm only allowed to use money I get doing body work on the side for my toys. The taxes are banked for emergencies. I would love to get a 6" sus. lift, gears and 35's but it's just wishful thinking.

 

Lift it man. $2500 should cover a lift and wheel/tire combo unless you install it yourself and then you would have leftover money.

 

yeah i get close to 8k and have nothing to do with it...i think im gonna get a honda 450EX. Id say get the bama tuner first and your exhaust and then go from there you will still have like 1800 left

 

ha im getting like i hope 200 back and mines goona get me a lift

 

Ya I was thinking of going with a lift and some 33s on rock crawlers. But that wouldn't leave me with hardly anything left over because If Im going to lift it I wanna go with one of the best systems. I've heard tons of good things about the RCD 5 inch system and I like the idea of getting rid of the torsion bars. If I dont use my return for that I will probably get the bedrug, topper and maybe the bama and exhaust for now and wait until this summer for the lift. I wish I could get 8 grand back on taxes like Reuber, but I am a full time student. The only reason Im getting back this good of a return is cuz I am a wildland firefighter over the summers and I work crazy overtime. I dont know, the lift is one of the ultimate upgrades I have planned for the truck but its always nice to get a lot of smaller mods and have money left over.

 

does anyone know what the RCD 5 inch system is running price wise? And is there a more cost effective, reliable lift system out that would be more worth the money?

 

lol, i get 8k back cause i have 2 kids and im military and with all my tax free entitlements my salary makes me look like i live in poverty....Id do all that and wait for the lift this summer, i mean if you can get the money then you should use taxes to get all the odds and ends things you like ie bama, carpet, etc

 

haha, kids sure do help out around tax return time...The more I think about it the more I lean in that direction. Only problem is that I will have the money to buy the lift this summer but may not have the time to put it on until after I go back to school. Oh well, I think I will by some odds and ends for now and that way I will have some back up money in case of emergency. Thanks for the input...

 

...cough....Raptor 700....cough

 

I don't even know what I will spend mine on...maybe just pay the truck off lol

 

EXACTLY where mine is going! And no not your truck...mine! LOL

Just means you got back more $$ during the year than others...Higher number on your W-4.

I know I should put it towards my 7G's worth of credit debt, but also know that once I buy my house I wont be able to afford a big screen Tv with the new expenses of a new home. I need my gears installed in my truck too 500 for that. ahh what to do.

 

ooo i cant wait mines going to the truck..youll all see this summer when i get all the parts together :)
