Well, I was just morbidly calculating what phase 2 has/will cost me in the past month, and I'm getting close to $6000. Don't remember the exact number (it was closer to $5K, but I'm not done)/

Longarm, shocks, Wheels, tires, gears, skids. If you don't already have them, then rockrails first.

Good luck!!

I'd use the money to pay it off quicker!! I hate making those payments.

Go with the stock in the research labs doing stem cell research. Probably really low now. Now that the US will finally be allowed to catch up with other countries with educated leaders, the growth will be enormous over the years to come.

Arrow I'll add to your list.

Differential covers.

--->Enough lift to accommodate the bigger tires.

A good spotter (they are free).
...Well almost free---->you gotta buy the beer.
