If you came across $5k dollars to spend on your ride, where would it go? Would you spend it on performance mods like lifting it into the clouds (Paris!), hammering it to the pavement or turning that Hemi into a fire-breathing Raptor killer (chefred)? How about that new set of wheels you've had your eye on and a new custom paint job to make your ride stand out? Perhaps it's time to give the sound system a much needed upgrade and you've decided to want to see if you can beat Jared in an SPL contest. New upholstery and seats might be a nice option as well. Personally, I'd spread it around and do a little of everything.
Had to go with interior... but I want to lump A/V in with that... 2K on seats and floor, then 3K to get stealth box, amps, and rest of speakers. I can't do anything else to the exterior unless I do paint... and that will be a big project of it's own and should be more than 5K :smiledown:
A 6.1 hemi swap! an a stage 3 trans.
ORRRRR long travel and 4 linked rear end full cage and a 1 peice fiberglass front clip
haha or i can be a baller and buy 5 KC carbon fiber hid lights at $1000 bucks a peice
Yea I would feel guilty spending 5 k on my truck. BUUUt in no particular order a small lift nerf bars and a tonneau cover for me. Then some audio stuff.

3.Kicker up-grade kit for doors and amp.w/bass box(2-10" woofers)$900.00
4.Diablo programmer.$400.00
That's about all that's on my todo list right now. Still don't know if I want to lower it.
ok so.... in the unlikely event I was ever told I have a free $5k to spend but it all has to be spent on my truck... Exterior would get all dings/dents repaired, then a power driver seat, K&N intake, Sprayed Bed-liner, dual Flowmaster exhaust, every hose and belt replaced, new performance battery, 2nd battery and alternator, transmission serviced, radiator replaced, complete service (plugs/wires/brakes with a new set of performance rotors) and a set of new tires should round it off nicely. If any money left I might add a sub under my rear-seat
As much as I love my truck I would sell it and add the $5k to what I got out of the truck and buy something else.
One of the reasons for this is that I rarely drive the truck so I would rather have it go to a good home than spend a lot of time sitting. Only about 12,800 miles on it. Less than 2k of that in the last 3 years.
