TacomaWorld > Fiancee = Bad (updated w/ poll) UPDATE: ENDED

Well... I knew it was gonna happen sooner or later... funny thing is, it was the cheapest item I bought that set her off... Meso's Push start button lol

This quarantine started with me installing what I had sitting in my garage for about a year:
Front bumper, UCA, Front camera, and fog lights.

After installing bumper; I needed to install new springs to accommodate weight (had new Eibach springs sitting in my garage).
I decided to get on TacomaWorld after being away from it for like 8 months to see what people were using to lube JBA UCAs... well that's when it started...

To break it down (I am just going to round up to the dollar):
- The first set of purchases
Front Durobumps
Rear Durobumps
Radflo Front AND Rear shocks 2.5 w/ comp adj + resi (custom tuned)
Icon RXT leaf pack_______
Total: $3,507

- The second set (Oh look a deal):
Nitro Gears 5.29_Kit______
Total: $1,250

- The third set (BAMF Drama = Group buy):
Leaf Shackles
Leaf hangers____________
Total: $345

- Final thing (so far):
Meso's new start button
Meso's Chrome start ring eliminator
Total: $40

Grand Total: $5,142

That's not including the re-gear labor which is $1,100... and I also bought new tools so roughly another $200.
She didn't really get pissed off, just annoyed cause I told her earlier that the phone case she bought was stupid and unnecessary since she had a perfectly working/defect-free case already... it was $75, then about 2 hours later I bought Meso's stuff .

Before ya'll say irresponsible financing/spending; I still have income while the stay at home order, I have some small investments (real estate), and stock trade here and there (I don't make a lot in it but supplements my income).

The lesson of the day: Tacoma's are awesome, most women don't understand, and my parents lied: staying at home doesn't save money.

I usually work all the time so i don’t have time to spend money.. I’ve been home since March 23. My wife has worked the whole time.. i bought my truck on April 15, 2020 and have spent at least $8k since i bought it. Fortunately I’m home and intercept all the packages lol.. I’ve been planning this purchase/purchases for a while but i think she’s about to tell me to slack up.. fortunately i go back to work Monday

Thanks! She got over it. I told her we don't need a Ranger Rover Velar (the cheap one) if I get the truck to be comfortable to ride. She doesn't want a Ranger Rover, she wants a Jag F-type (base model) so she agreed. By the way, she works for an Auto Group and gets great deals on them.

Good luck and safe journey.

Well the good news here, and there is good news, is that she is your fiancee not wife. Do with that what you may.

Beancooker · Apr 29, 2020

The girl is way hotter than the truck. Too bad she hasn’t figured out how seatbelts work.

Good luck bro. Remember, it’s always easier to beg forgiveness than to ask for permission.

Haha, she just did it to get a selfie in, but I am not sure how the seatbelt can affect her taking it. She doesn't have it on like that when we are driving.
I will definitely remember that!

Looks like the kind of girl that will let you know she isn't happy by stabbing you. Be careful.

She is Spaniard mix with Italian and heard their crazy (born and raised in US though). Pretty outspoken but haven’t tried to kill me yet (been together for 6 years now).
