Just for fun?
An envelope with a couple of thousand dollars shows up with two conditions. 1. You have to spend it on your truck. 2. You can't spend it on functional repairs such as fixing rust, replacing shocks, etc.
I'm thinking of one of those air pressure train horns or maybe whatever those things are that would make my long bed crew cab bounce up and down at traffic lights  What would you do with it? Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Just for fun?
I'd install a laser on my pickup that cuts the air lines of trucks that bounce up and down at traffic lights.

I'd install a series of mirrors to reflect lasers, and a set of jumping bags. just to get on SOM's nerves

Re: Just for fun?
I'm thinking a twin 50 cal machine guns mounted on the roof pointed towards the back to keep people from tailgating.

Re: Just for fun?
I would buy the wood bed kit, HID light kit, new billet inner door handles, brake pedal and accelerator and whatever is left I would buy me a case of beer and sit on the tailgate and enjoy the day.

Thinking of adding a 64-66 mustang to that list, just can't find the right one. When I bought my S10 I took her to a really nice dinner and a movie. On the way back we stopped at the dealership and I said, I think I want to buy that truck (this was in 08, it was only $3,800 and gas was high as hell). She rolled her eyes. I got out, "looked it over", took out my key, got in and drove off I'm such an ass She loves me though
