Sounds like it is pretty much decided. She said you could use it on the truck, no mention of an ar15 there. I'll bet she would appreciate you working on the outside of it, new grille and bumpers, wheels,etc. She'll want something nice sitting in front of the house. How's the exhaust?

What exhaust that stuff is about 1 3/4" diameter with flattened out bends and some 18" glasspacks. I could bend pipe better with my knee. Who ever did the exhaust system couldn't have cared less about free flowing.

She also said she wouldn't ride in it until it had a/c, which she mentioned would be a good thing to use the money on, but I told her a/c would be the last thing fixed.

Oh, and she did say I could spend it on a gun or the truck.

Re: Need help spending some money.

Not knowing what shape your truck is presently in I'd say get it mechanically sound ( so as not to leave you stranded somewhere ), clean it up some and add some new parts to the outside, then make updates and mods to it a little at a time. An aftermarket a/c system will set you back maybe $1200 when all done so there goes most of your bonus funds. Get it later.
