I've always had the mod bug. Told myself I would only buy a couple things while deployed. So far I have a GPS/Nav waiting for me, and soon I'll have some wheels/tires. I'll start setting some money aside as I'm going to need Lowering Springs/Strut Shocks/LCA/UCA, etc.

Nice, I'm looking into getting the dd bullitts. Also, gonna hit up Sam Strano about some suspension questions. I think I want to get a watts-link and eliminate the panhard system.

The mod bug isn't too friendly to the bank account, its like a virus. Return home same, your car is waiting for you.

My 06 doesn't want to be traded in, so I have to upgrade her. I already put the 5.0 Crate Engine on my "to-do" list. Gonna start tucking money aside for it.

Thing about mods is... like for suspension. I want some new shocks/strucks/lowering springs... I gotta get the HD Mounts or Shelby Mounts as a result... Then I need to correct the suspension geometry so I need adjustable lca or uca... and then comes a new mount. Needless to say it's never ending the supporting mods you need!
