Was I the only one who was flat broke after the truck purchase?

lol

I often read where people put on a lift kit and new wheels and tires the week that they buy a new truck.
I wasn't spending money at all the first month after I spent 60K on a new truck.

Was I the only one who was flat broke after the truck purchase?

I purposely kept back $1000 from the sale of my previous car to purchase the Borla ATAK for my truck. Actually had the exhaust before I drove my Ram home from dealer.

Seen so many posts of guys with garage’s full of new parts ready to go on their ordered truck that didn’t even have a delivery date yet. We’re a different breed no doubt.

I have an attic above my garage full of stock parts with less than 100 miles on them.

I purchased my truck in a neighboring province so I had to keep back money from my sale to pay the additional taxes and transfer fees when I went back home.

I was able to afford a tonneau cover afterwards tho.

If you think Oakley can make lenses, put on a pair of Maui Jims.

That’s all I buy is Maui Jim’s. Their Lenses are amazing. I also can wear Serenget.
I get vertigo from Oakley and Ray Ban or any cheaper brand service station sun glasses.

I kept my payments high to pay it off faster. $1124 loan payment and $170 insurance every month. I have 1 payment left! Then she’s ALL MINE!

 

[Dogpatch]

I've got a few pairs and I like them, but I agree the lenses don't necessarily hold up. I do like that almost every podcast out there will give you a half off code ha. And if you lose them, they replace them. For example, getting drunk on the lake and dropping them to the bottom (allegedly).

Last time I was in Mexico, I left my Serengeti‘s in a cab ride back from a bar.
Lucky I still had my Maui Jim’s with me……till I lost them to a rogue wave at the beach 2 days later. $800 worth of sunglasses gone in 2 days.
Wife was not to happy with me as I went to the mall and bought another pair of Maui Jim’s for $450.

I can see that your tire shop also uses silver wheel weights on black wheels. Discount Tire always tells me that they are going to use black weights when I buy new tires or get them re-balanced, but they never do. I bought a pack of black wheel weights on Amazon and just give them to the guy doing the install.

It seems that I can lose an expensive pair of glasses almost overnight. Cheap ones stick around for years. I gave up on expensive glasses ha.

I'm just the opposite. I looked up Maui Jim. If they made a cool looking pair, I might try them.

is this becoming a sunglasses thread?
Back on track......

Best color evah!!

These showed up today so I can start my orange accent experiment.



For the Ram air cover and the sport hood sides. Unfortunately the “etorque” is from the non-sport hood pack, but I actually wasn’t gonna do that part anyway. Still gonna let Reflective Concepts know tho.


I like that these inlays/overlays are good quality and if i decide I don’t like it, I just peel em off whenever.

Ordering the rear UCA/LCA, track bar and sway bar next month.

And to that end, since I’ll have to become one of these people who owns a grease gun again, any recommendations of manual vs the electric ones? I was lookin at the ridged one since I have a bunch of those 18v tools already. Last time I had one (for atvs) was before these electric ones were really available, and it wasn’t great.

Removed the back seats and floor mats( gave them a good pressure wash, not the seats). Took the liner off the back wall to check for water leakage and any damage. (None found). Put a baggy over the RH hub to give it a pre emptive protection. It can't slip over it tight so it should have some room to breath. Vacuumed the carpet. Also checked to see if the vents were installed correctly. Next will be to seal the window and install new 3rd brake light.

Seems like they missed the assignment by making it that way

agree, but too late to return it and I used some cash rewards from one of my cards to cover the cost so I don't feel to bad about it

every time I am in this forum I forget there is high inflation lol
I did good with my 4th gen, payments are low, use cash rewards here and there, do some of my installs and look for deals on mods
And the most important thing - no kids to drain my money

Traded in our ‘19 Laramie for a fresh ‘23 Laramie Night Edition. Got such a good deal on the ‘23 that we couldn’t pass it up. $17,000 off of MSRP. View attachment 158441

excellent, I just went online to check things out, prices are starting to come down real good. even with high interest it seem market has turned to the buyer's side, atleast for ram trucks
