well it's not what you buy, it's what you build, and as you can see there isn't too many structural mods, performance mods, or otherwise that I haven't done myself, and I look at it like this: a person gains a greater appreaciation for their rig is they do there own work and know the vehical inside and out, knows the possable week links and how to repair them and or make them better.
