How much do you have in your "RIG" ?
I keep my receipts hidden in my tool box, I was adding things up from over the years. Man, I have over 100k in this truck since I joined this site. Like most started out with a mind frame of I just need a little extra power, wow !

Do I count the 2 sets of tires I've bought or just the last set that's on the ground? Do I count the original price of the truck as well? If not...
Including the tuner I bought and the chrome goodies maybe about $3K is all. I rebuilt the trans myself so only parts, did 2 brake jobs, bought new wheels and built my stainless stacks myself as well as the other stainless accessories. My exhaust brake is my own build so only parts for those "extras".
I guess I'm pretty cheap huh?

Not counting the $35K I paid for the truck.....I've spent in the ballpark of $14K!!!! Why oh why did someone post this??

There is no G. There is no G. Repeat after me, THERE IS NO G!
$14,193.43 total running cost on top of purchase price. Looking at other posts, looks like $14k is a nice round number eh? lol
But don't ask me to add up cost of other hobby/toys. I added up the cost of one item I spent on the past month and I almost choked

Exactly, I special order the mega cab with a lift, changed the lift, painted the truck X2, 3 sets of rims, started with single turbo ended up with twins. Trust me I can keep going. Then there's the XP 900 tricked out, ktm 505 complete suspension, R1 carbon fiber, I could keep going but I think the point is clear I like speed.
