Exclamation $150 a month in gas

Just scooped up this....454,3/4 Ton...My new Hunting-fishing-crawler hauler rig. It's clean as hell! What should I do next besides a V6 swap?

I was kidding about the motor. I want to throw some 31" BFGs on her for a more aggresive look.

Sweet score, looks clean

Will your mom let you bump in it?

Or, have you even put that banging 10,000 watt system in it yet?

Whats your ringtone, Throw some D's on it?

It has the stock beats in it. I'll be putting in the DVD/Nav setup in it in a few months.I plan on adding more miles on it. The body has 225k,but it has a new crate 454 in it.

Its rediculous isn't it! I'm paying $3.33 a gallon right now and by the time this is read I bet its $3.41, what ever happend to all these "alternative" fuels? My truck does pretty good (21 mpg avg) considering its got a lift and 20s with 35s but it still kills me!
