    Default New Toy

    So I just got a bike and the deal I made with my wife is that I cant do anything to either or them until the bike is paid off. Good thing the bike wasnt real expensive and should be paid off, with a little luck around a year, so that means, I get to save money for things to do to my truck. Maybe I can convience her in letting me do stuff to both of them, but dont know how well that will work. So I gotta plan for when my bike is paid off. Anyone have ideas on what I should do after then? I was thinking lift, rims and tires, fender flares, billet bowties front and back and after that I got nothing. Any suggestions?

    Both the bike and the truck have exhaust, my truck has a K&N intake already but the bike doesnt have one.

    What do you do with your truck? Haul? Tow? Offrroad? I would start on mods that directly effect whatever you use your truck for. Bedliner is a must though - happy with my Line-X so far...

    I have this feeling that it will be offroading and maybe a show truck but not sure yet.

    Priorities, priorities... If your priority is offroading... then show truck, you can do both at the same time. Lift, then rims and tires. I would also check out a snorkel for the truck… also depending on what type of offroading you are going to do. I am used to fording rivers and cutting through rain forests. Plus, if you are going for a unique look, not too many trucks out there with snorkels! Also check out the "Reunel" stainless stell bumpers. You can leave it with just the steel or get them painted. Check out the link: http://www.reunel.com/products.html and let me know what you think...

    My old F4I was a fun bike. Check out the Micron exhaust for it. Would scare old people running wide open. Also a drop in K&N filter and pull the baffles off the intake and tape off the holes.
