How much have you spend modifying your truck?

I dropped a bunch more recently.

if i did the list no on would read it and i'd miss the football game i'm watching.

Now i'd say its at 24k or so, plus all repairs (at least 8k), and the truck was 21k when i picked it up in 2000 with 21,000 miles on it.

still got big plans upcoming, will be spending as fast as i can make money.
