Default What to do with some extra cash?

Ok guys, heres the deal. I recently came into an "extra" $400.00. Because I love my truck more than my woman I am choosing to spend the cash on it. But I can't make up my mind on what to get,and thats where yall come in. (Yes you yankee's, yall is a word.) So here are some choices and I would like yalls feedback:

1. Black Wraparound Grille Guard

2. Alpine CDA-7892 Receiver and CHA-S634 changer( takes a little more money)

3. Line-X Spray in bedliner

4. Flowmaster Dual Exhaust

I want new rims and tires but hopefully those are coming for Christmas so I am holding off. Or if you can think of anything else in this price range worth getting let me know. Thanks.

Clay

Cool

The first thing I would do is replace all the OEM speakers...they are terrible IMO! Which brand to replace them with.......JL, Infinity, MB Quart, etc, etc are all great.

Best of luck in your search!

I plan on doing that in the future but can live with them for now. There are too many other things I want more. This is a horrible addiction. Who says only kids have toys?

There is a shop that does great exhaust work here in town. Depending on what series muffler and what type of tips I want we are looking at I believe $200 - $250. A buddy of mine just got the 40 series on his Tahoe and it sounds great. Had glasspacks on my last truck with 4x24 chrome tips. Loud as hell, but I am past those days. Still dont know what to do. I am leaning toward the brushguard or stereo, but then again a Line-X would be nice too.

I would go with the exhaust or the stereo.

I like the exhaust idea to but it has just been further down on the list. Plus the girlfriend absolutely hates the idea of getting it done. Why can't they just understand?

They never understand, even when you get married
I'd do the stereo first and then the Line-X. UNLESS you plan on hauling stuff in your ride then get the Line-X first. I'd hate to see/hear your bed getting scratched up because of no bedliner. Good Luck and definately let us know what you do.

I'd go with the stereo, line-x, exhaust, then grille. Stereo is the most noticeable improvement IMO. Bed liner is great, but can wait because they have to sand the bed anyways, so even if you scratch the heck out of it, it won't matter. Exhaust is way cool, but is really only gonna buy you a few looks from passersby. So if you've narrowed it down to stereo or grille, I'd say stereo wins! /Mike

shreveporttundra,

I would change directions entirely and make a down payment on a toy you could pull with your tundra. How about a boat or ATV?
Lots of deals for no payments for xxx months and low interest financing. Nothing better than one toy to tow the other!

What do you guys think about me ordering some Ivan Stewart rims instead? That is what I am debating to do this week.
