Smile How much have you spent on your truck

I read most of these threads. I'm just curious what some of you have spent on your rides. By what I'm reading it's alot. Nothing wrong with , wish I could do half of what some of you are doing.

About $700 for mudflaps, floor liners, fenderwell liners, tonneau cover, shocks and the Invisible Bra on the front.
Other than that, just maintenance and tires.
Original owner sunk about $5k into accesories and add-ons when it was new.

$ 275 for the tonneau cover
$400 for stainless nerf bars
$400 for Smarty
$400 for Commander
$300 for Air bags

A good 18K here, I also do all my own work. And I am not including broken parts like Rear drivshaft and transmission. Or the part that should be here next week

But I am starting to build up a nice collection of tools

You know, it all started with buying a chip for a little extra power
