If you have $1000 to spend on mods...

We have some money coming back to us for something and my wife says to me "Once we get it, why don't you take the $1000 and get a tonneau cover and stuff for your truck...

So I am kind of unlimited here, have $1000 to blow on it...


What would you get?

What do you already have?
Id get the edge, maybe a new hu, grille, exhaust, tonneau cover
that doesnt all add up to $1000 but you can pick and choose

The Edge is a very nice improvement, Undercover is nice also. I have a bedrug also which is nice.

If you have a 4x4 I would take that $1000 and save it till I had enough for lift,tire's and rims.

If 2wd I would get Edge, exhaust, and window tint.

Im 2wd, thinking about just getting the Edge and forgetting the Tonneau, or getting a cheapo

I am totally unmodded though, nothing at all..

HU, edge, gears. Idk how much that will add up to. Oh and if you have money left over get a cover. 4.56 gears, if I was you. But im not so you'd probly just be better off with 4.10's. Oh and if you dont want the edge get the xcall 2. Wont go wrong with either but imo get the xcall for a cleaner look

The Edge is your best bet, but If you need a tonneau the under cover can still be had with the remaining money.

mark lt handles, drop, grill, tonneau cover, bed rug if you want looks

headunit, speakers, subs amps if you want a system

I'd like one of those touch screen navigation head units. Or an Undercover and an exhaust.

You wife's idea isn't half bad... $1000 is just about right for a nice tonneau cover (SnugLid SL or ARE LSII), that is if you're into that kind of stuff.
