Not much, I do all my own work. 7k in parts alone maybe and probably be over 13k in labor if someone tried to duplicate my truck.

its a neverending sickness! i was warned to leave it stock or forever seek that elusive last pony!!! prob is, those last few cost as much as the 1st 100! Fortuntely, I've been able to confine my mods to just 1 truck so far, and thank GOD my wife wont let me touch the Porsche...but now I'm considering something else...at least the driveway will only hold 1 more truck! Friends dont let friends drive stock! Anyone can drive a Ferrari, Lambo or DB7, but there are very few hotrods around and thats why they get more attention from friends and less from PoPo.

Aren't you supposed to spend 25% of your monthly income on your truck? Or was that your mortgage? I forgot. It's a good thing that I don't eat anymore.
