The OP has already invested internals, he's committed to making his bed and laying in it now.

I always get that response when I ask, "what are you using the vehicle for, and what do you want it to do?" My reasoning is because if your the type of guy whose looking for a one night stand, don't tell people you're looking for a serious or long term relationship.

Is it your main or daily driver? if so, obviously reliability is prioritized and usually budgets are a little higher for doing things without cutting essential corners.  Toys on the other hand are sometimes different.  Built with other purpose in mind but with fun overriding the mindset, just hoping the fun lasts before it breaks [although I personally have not yet understood the concept of being so rough on a vehicle it breaks yet].  Is it a SHTF vehicle that is also used for weekend outings etc...?  Are you tracking this vehicle or racing it? I seem to recall a ranger owner on here that had a fun looking drift Ranger awhile ago.

Building from what you want it to do is a lot different than a purist or maintenance standpoint too.  Lot of guys just want to see how long they can keep from buying a new vehicle at all.
