    Oogling trucks on here, brain synapses firing off like an Epileptic Chihuahua on a massive coke bender, a neurological illogical blatant disregard for reality, much less sanity and a thorough prison raping of your wallet.

    Welp that about sums up TW for me :)

    I got a Magnaflow to kill my itch to mod until I can buy all the lift components I need, and it just made my desire to mod worse.

    On the upside, I really, really like the Magnaflow. Best $70 mod ever.

    That's how I'm doing it. I thought about getting a credit card just for gas (I'd get 3 cents off a gallon with it) But I knew how that would end... If I had a credit card right now, I would already have new tires... :eek:

    I can definitely say that forums like Tacomaworld play a role in the economy when it comes to buying and selling!

    3 cents? thats it?

    at 19, if you aren't building credit, you should. Unless you have a large surplus of cash and plan on buying everything in cash. (Home, etc)

    Getting credit isn't as important as people think. Saving money is the smarter way of doing things... I know I'll get a credit card eventually, but only for gas and emergencies that I can't afford with what's in savings. Being in the military helps in getting low interest regardless of credit, although it still helps. My credit rating is around 685 right now, and that's without me having really started any credit at all other than just now paying bills in my name.

    When I was looking for my (used) truck , my wife said as long as it was paid for, I could do whatever I wanted to it, she thought I was crazy, when she saw the pics on TW, on truck mods. But now she can't wait to drive it to work. I lurk the classifieds and buy mostly used , and do all the work myself , she and I are in the design phase right now on sliders.

    Don't forget to shoot me a PM for pricing on stuff when your ready. We offer a TW discount to ease the hit on the wallet whenever we can.

    We are a Weathertech dealer, as well as all the suspension and lighting needs you may have, but that's a given!

    BTW, ya, the bottle opener tube caps are awesome, but they were modified for his bumper, not a normal stocking item. We do have the caps on the shelf though!

    Whenever the wife/girlfriend starts bitching about you spending too much monies, remind her that TW helps save you coin on DIY MODs and maintenance so to can blow the extra cash on aftermarket parts. Its always better to throw your money into your ride and calling her baby than throwing money at strippers and telling the 'ol lady you were attacked by a bunch of girls with "beiber fever"

    It's an addiction. I sold my truck in December. In February I got another one.

    Didn't last very long! Time to start building the new one :)
