sorry sir, but you owe too much money

I started shopping around for parts to 'finish' my truck off, and to see how much more money I'm in for. All in all it's not too bad, I figure about $7500-8000 will finish the truck off for a while, unless I ever decide to drop a V8 in it. A lot of money, yes, but I can't take my money with me when I'm dead, and you're only young once, so what the hell, right?

I figure about $4400 for bag stuff alone, this includes a front system (bags, shcoks, mounts/brackets), a parallel 4-link rear system, 4-way bag system with huge 1/2" air lines (most people use 1/4", or maybe 3/8"), a 8" frame notch, and a spiffy electronic controller/monitor from Dakota Digital.

And the rest is made up of just other stuff, roll pan, shaved door kit, poppers (unless it's in the kit), lexan rear window w/ plate mount, tailgate handle relocator, gauge pod, some amp montior gauges, steering wheel, door sills, mirrors (inside and out), bed rug, fuel cell, and a few other things....oh, and paint too.

But, at the end of it all, I'll have a super clean, kick-ass ride.

Even after all that stuff, I can still think of a few ways to spend more money, like a custom interior-- one off dash, different seats, new system (new when I haven't even got one now, lol), ragtop, etc, etc...I could easily drop $20,000 into the Ranger if I had it.
