Can we get an "official" LED thread going?

lol yeah i have a camera bag thats bigger than most peoples lunch bags or fat chick purses. and when i bring just my camera and one lens and maybe my flash too, its still a huge over the shoulder camera with a big lens, and the flash is bigger than most peoples point and shoot cameras, in total i think im up to about 5 grand in camera gear at the moment.
the body i shoot with is a T2i, had a T1i and an XTi as well. they were all great cameras and in all honesty i could shoot the same pictures with any of the cameras. i just need my lenses. ohh baby i love some of my lenses. my two favs are two extremes on the price scale, one cost me $130 (and is reduced to 120 now) and the other cost me $980 has since been reduced to 990? ya i dont get it either. my flash was like 370 or 380 i forget. but those are the three things i carry most.
then theres filters, tripod, other lenses (zoom, kit lens, macro lens, ghetto wide angle converter, and a couple weird things that help in strange situations (clear coloured plastic squares, coloured cards, q tips, cleaning stuff, adapter rings...) oh man the list can keep on keepin on.
i have $3100 invested in my blazer so far, not counting gas. $240 on mods and thats about it so far.

That's EXACTLY why I don't want to get into photography. Too much money disappears.
As for my jimmy, about $1,000 in audio and $50 for the grille. Can't do much with a 4 wheel drive...
Found this sweet xtreme on CL though...
But we are going way too off topic

All kinds of stuff you can do with a 4wd. Mine is smoothed and painted on the inside, about to be custom painted on the outside, and putting a SFA under the front with 35s. Just because its 4x4 doesn't mean it has to be full of dents and look like crap.

I know that, but I guess what I meant was that I've always wanted a mini truck.

I know what you mean but I find humor in it. When I first got into custom trucks you might have a lifted s10 parked beside a lowered one at a show. They would both be painted hot pink or neon green if that dates me any. Seems like the lifted mall crawlers got pushed out over time. I have started to see more get back in here lately tho.

But it cost a LOT more to lift a truck and trick it out and it's a lot harder.
It's so much easier to just bag a 2 wheel drive and put scrape plates
To lift a truck a couple feet, it's in the thousands, if I'm not mistaken?
Then you have wheels and tires, which cost $1,000 for the awesome big ones (the only ones that look good)

Oh, I know there are basdass lifted trucks.

About the same cost wise. I've done both
