    Default Are you a packrat???

    I tend to wait on the good deals when it comes to either suspension parts or performance parts with my titan. Usually i'll take months till i find that right offer and snag that sucker up like a fat kid does french fries. I was the same way with my frontier. I got most of my lift and shocks for little to no cost even new. Its just been in me since i was a kid. I'll have the money but ill dispense it accordingly...just wondering if anyone else is the same way ??

    Sounds like you are more of a tightwad than a packrat.

    I can be that way sometimes. Usually now more than ever before since I am in college. Just wait and as soon as I see something, it's all mine

    I started out like that. I got 18" LE rims/tires for free to replace my XE 17" steelies. Then got OEM 20's with tires for $500 off CL and sold the 18's for $250. Bought a used JBA muffler and used Zoomers Y-pipe was my first exhaust. Then bought a whole JBA catback used for $192...Got my LCD monitors used for $100. The Nismo intake I am running is used, got it for $170 off ebay. Have the rear 3" drop Springtech leafs and Belltech drop shocks in the garage, got em used. Got my slicks used for $100 or CL. Got my 16" Chevy rims for $20 off CL. My Nitrous was used got it for $300 off CL....I wanted a Chrome rear bumper when I got my truck, so I waited till I got rear-end to get one so the insurance company paid for it.....I got Uprev used....I have like 6 Chevy/Titan wheels laying around. I even wait till Movies hit the 4 for $20 rack at Blockbuster before I buy them......May not be a packrat, but I do try to find the best deals.
    Performance: Bullydog GT, AEM intake, JBA catback with 22" Mag muffler, no cats, 07 intake manifold
