How much was all that?

Great question. I don’t know the total. Things were added over time, so the prices have changed. I should have kept track This truck will eventually go to my son, so it’s all a sunk cost.

BS sunk cost... satisfaction and desire to own matter a whole heck of a lot.

If that wern't the case we would all be driving 15 year old beaters where everything worked.

Vehicles need to be:
Reliable
Able to perform the task for which they were purchased.

EVERYTHING else is convenience/safety/Ownership satisfaction.

Sure we could all get by watching TV, having flip phones that can only make calls and such. But we are most all reliant/dependent on the nice things that come with higher end goods. Not many here buy a no feature work truck and just drive that for 10 years with nothing changing. That was the actual boomers. ;)

But, did you do it in a spreadsheet with the cost of each line in there, and a Total at the bottom? :D

I've done that before. The Total always makes me unhappy. So, I don't do that anymore. LOL!

That’s a great reason to not look at the total! Also, it’s hard to put a price on the fun of making the mods. We all get to make out trucks how “we” like them.

Unless there was dye added at some point, you shouldn't see green. And they usually don't ads dye from the factory.

you're fine. it's not that bad. I tried to influence the forum to drop big money but seems like yall got some really good self-control

wait till you do a full breakdown graphic like mine, then look at the big price differences from back in the days when you got them vs now.
you'll appreciate you bought your stuff early.

External Lighting.jpgArmors.jpgElectrical.jpgEquipment.jpgSuspension.jpgWheels and Tires.jpg

that's why I tell everyone: buy it NOW before price goes up. I probably saved at least 10% (in addition to the wholesale/ distributor discounts) between ordering parts BEFORE the truck was built in 2022 vs ordering them now.
 
Today, decided to rewire my kicker key 200.4 to bi amp the shca 3.5 neo in dash and kenwood 6x9 woofers in doors. In middle of doing it got a headache, so decided will do the rewire another day since I would have to run new wires to dash. When putting the key amp back in I decided to turn off compression switch and made a huge difference, sound volume now at 20 is what it was at 30. So now I dont think I will bi amp, sounds plenty loud now, sound quality has been good with the auto dsp in the amp, but now its a lot louder. It's cleaner sounding and louder than my 13 Ram with alpine system. Was going to do the dsp process again, but my luck it would make it sound bad, might as well leave it alone. Next 2 subs and amp, trying to decide which to buy(quad cab are limited on boxes). Anyone with base audio should consider the key 200.4 if you want good sound without going crazy. You can wire up the anc ch01 bypass harness to amp in house and just plug in, or go back to stock in seconds, nothing to run wire wise. The anc uses a 30amp fuse for the anc, when bypassed the key 200.4 uses 25amps, so can use the anc hot wire and ground, senses when radio is on, so no loc also. Been using the key amp for around 3 months, zero issues.

Congrats!

How’s the audio? That’s the most compelling thing in my mind of the Tungsten over the Limited. I know lots of variances, but for me, most compelling.

Seats sure do look cozy though…

Got some time to play with the Klipsch system. As good as the HK system is in the Limited, the Klipsch is far better. The HK had decent base and I would have liked a more balanced system but not enough to invest in changing the Limiteds as it was really good enough. The Klipsch has loads of base, and is very well balaced and is really really good; everything the HK system is not, the Klipsch system is. I cant imagine wanting more
