Default USED TO B A WANNA B

so, i finally bought my diesel. it's an 03 DODGE CUMMINS 4x4, QUAD, LONGBOX. i'm a contractor, a mechanic, a welder/fabber, and a general d.i.y. guy.

so, i'm gonna slowly build a CTD "POWER WAGON' (boy, does that get factory PW guys ruffled up). winch, HD bumpers, small lift for ground clearance, 33-34" tires for ground clearance (and to fill those ridiculous wheel wells).

i'm a huge deal monger,...i shop craigslist regularly. so, the first upgrades will be:
- edge ez (want fuel economy and stock drivetrain longevity)
- a/t load d or e tires, 285s-ish (don't wanna lose my torque)
- gauges (as a mechanic, i don't trust anything, even factory gauges)
- used or fabbed bumpers
- used winch
- d.i.y. bed liner on rockers and around flares
- all with no money ?

All with no money: As long as you have enough stuff to trade for what you want.
