    The Journey begins 4/2023:
    Here it is!…bone stock but I finally own it outright. The only things that weren’t on this truck when I drove it off the lot 6 years ago are some dead bugs, superficial scratches and these 56,000 miles.

    Hopefully I can inspire a fraction of what I have gotten from some of you here in TW! Sending that final payment and getting your title in the mail is liberating! I have a ton of changes coming starting in a few days out to a few months (and I find more in this forum to add to the list almost daily :D) and wanted to start a thread to document the progress.

    Comments and constructive criticism ALWAYS welcome!

    Congrats brother and you deserve to have some mod fun. But also consider this; start (aggressively) saving for your next vehicle as soon as you pay off the one you are currently driving. If done right, you will never have a car payment ever again!

    Barring some unforeseen catastrophe THIS will be the last vehicle I ever own. Any future vehicle will be to get my wife HER last car and something used for my kiddo when she get her DL in about 10 years. I’m going to have to take care of it.
