Well ill be turning 20 at the end of july and im trying to decide what i want to get for my birthday. ive been wanting to get a black daimond plate toolbox so that i can get a bunch of junk out of the cab. But i also would like the get a decent stereo system to replace the stock on. Then the other day i was looking around tractor supply and found an 8000lb winch for around $350, and im wondering if its any good. If i go for the winch ill have to get a front hitch also, which ive been wanting for a while. Anybody have any suggestion as to what i should choose.

black diamond plate toolbox

stereo system

winch/front hitch

 

i would go tool box are stereo system. sense your 2wd i would say no to the winch but then again their handy to have

 

Agreed^

Since your 2WD I wouldn't imagine you'd put yourself in situations where you'd need it, but you never know.

Go stereo then tool box.

 

with me, idk sometimes, i dont think before i do something sometimes, ^^ wasnt sure about stereo first or tollbox first, i have a bunch of stuff behind my seats that id put in a toolbox if i had it to make room for a stereo system

 

I would say 2WD would need a winch MORE than a 4x4... just a thought lol

 

For stereo are you talking about like a full headunit, speakers, sub and amp system or just speakers. You can get the toolbox for like 200-300 but a decent system will run you 500+ easy.

 

Stereo... like Trent said, the complete set-up can get expensive and a PITA to piece together... you could get a sick toolbox on craigslist for CHEAP if you just keep your eyes open...

 

yeah thanks guys, and thanks Marie, been looking of CL some here, seems like everyone around here is selling ricer stuff and fullsize stuff, but ima keep looking

 

A little tip for ya... don't be afraid to drive a little (you can always turn it into a Ranger meet) or better yet... if you know you're gonna go somewhere/see someone from somewhere else keep and eye on THEIR CL... might work out... I know it has for me

 

Stereo Last. Thats just a novelty item. Get something that will be put to good use.

 

Get a CL toolbox. If it's chrome buy it and rattle can it.

 

Go CL all the way.

i would go with tool box. then system. get something that you would put to use.

 

Personally Id go with a front hitch tucked up in between the tow hooks... hold up, 2wd? Do you have tow hooks?

 

^^nope no tow hooks yet, but need to get some, thanks for all advice guys, even day i find something new that i want on the truck but cant afford, which is why im gonne get something for my b-day
