Money Pit??

[VoodooRanger]

My previous cars were a 2013 Subaru WRX Hatchback & 2016 Subaru WRX STI. Getting the truck I thought I would have something I wouldn’t be throwing money at. I’ve always been a car guy, so the truck would be a nice change.

Yet here I am registered to another forum and look at countless aftermarket stuff. Already have Diode Dynamics Pro fog lights and KB Voodoo 58” x 10” rack installed/mounted. The CVT Mt. Shasta should be getting delivered tomorrow.

This is only the beginning.

Hello, my name is Joel and it’s been 4 days since my last purchase.

Wimpy or not, so many trucks have them people are starting to expect it and drop the tailgate.

That's like expecting CA drivers to use their blinkers when they turn

I haven't spent crazy... bug shield so far... will get the tailgate damper... weathertech floors.....

Last big expense will be a hard tonneau cover of some type.

Not sure if you saw this before (I can't keep track anymore ?) but you can get one here and use code WELCOME at checkout for free shipping.

Here ya go:

This will eventually cause you to spend more than $40k on mods, the damper is just the key in the door!
