Good idea. Better to get your money n such in a row before going on to modding the truck. You will save in the long run. I did several things multiple times that I should have just saved and done right the first time.

You're one of the reasons we have the right gear for this platform. When you started, nobody could just say "Hey Kyle, what XY or Z should I run?" Oh, thanks for saving me all that time and money!
