Another classic car/race car project. Left field I know, but that's just me.

Or perhaps a 50 BMG. [emoji3]

Looks like you have a lone star. If it was me I would take it to a interior shop and get some nice seat covers installed like the katskins or clazzio. Along with a nice new head unit and back up camera if you don't have one (they sell tailgate handles with the camera in it), weather tech or husky floor liners, line-x, a nice tri fold bed cover like a back flip, window tint(hard to tell what you have), wheels and tire I'm not sure what else but that's just a start.

Has no one suggested hookers and cocaine?

I'd go comfort and audio... Cover the cab in sound deadening, redo everything audio, seat covers... Then spend the rest on hookers and cocaine.

I would do amp runningboards. You could always buy the lift/lowering kit, engine mod, tires/rims for when your warranty does end.

Or buy your tuner and longtubes, and put the other $3500 aside to repair anything in the rare event that you have a problem that the dealership won't cover under warranty.

If you don't already have leather invest in some! Couldn't go wrong with custom leather and some emblems that's what I did on my 2014 express before I sold it back to the dealership and it added a lot of value on the truck. Just saying! b13f60c94f84f073fed034b6acb88fc6.jpg

Those look sick! That'd be a nice upgrade but I remember having leather in my Infiniti out here in Vegas. Without adding some seat coolers/heaters I'd be especially hurting in the summer. Something I'll have to look into tho.

Down payment on a Harley.

For me it would be a manifold back exhaust system and a set of Fuel Cleaver 2-tone rims with DuraTrac's. Then onto some quality headlights and taillights. Finally fix or replace that damn Infinity radio which blows.

So, let's just say you've got $5,628 of disposable income that has been agreed by the ole lady to spend however I want. No talk of investing, retirement, yada yada.. Let's just say I'm good.

If you have to cap out at such a specific $5,628 then I'm not buying that last bit :naughty:

All teasing aside:
Id buy a quad.

Ive learned over the years if I have to think about, or come up with something to spend money on, I shouldn't be doing it.

Best idea in the entire thread. Seriously. I've seen your other posts and like me, you're not really hard into the modding scene and just like the basics with few things you can use every day: nerf bars, bed liner, etc. But I agree 100% with opie, don't blow all that dough on mods if you're not really a "modder" hobbyist. Modders do it because that's their hobby they choose to spend their money on. If you're not a modder and don't wish to be one than don't spend $5k on mods!! Buy a quad, buy something you've always wanted for your house, buy a new home entertainment system, fly to the Greek Islands... **** there's thousands of possibilities you can do with $5k that don't have to be about your truck ;)

Sounds like his tax return to me.......................or should I say their tax return, since she had to OK it....LOL.

Ding ding ding! Lol. I added the exact amount in attempt to be humorous, but I'm seriously looking to spend it on my truck. I do weekend track racing so I've got streetbikes (07' R1, 09' R6) and a yz450 for the dirt. I bleed blue, Yamaha for life.
