Long Travel BS Thread

Changed to reflect my situation lol

 

lol... same here. spent all my play money.

refuse to touch my savings for shit i dont need... sucks being responsible.

 

i had those dreams when i was 10, im liven em now! well trying my hardest too!

Thanks! that actually means alot to hear that from someone with a badass truck. not to sound ghey or anything haha.
i got lucky when i was 17 with a very well paying job at bank of america, im the youngest person in my position, and there are probably 10,000 people in the same position as me, that mixed with having pratically no bills= all my money into my truck and boat.

 

hence why i got safety shit im on my feet financially like a 30 year old, but offroad i still drive like a 16 yearold.

 

Damn responsibilities! I hear ya, thats why I havent gotten anywhere on the rear yet. Fuck a house I dont need it i Need links.

 

Same here! a few of the lucky ones! But the way I see it, Id rather have a caged truck on the dirt than a race car on the street. seems safer to me and can still get the thrills of going fast too.

 

dirt is way more fun than pavement IMO.

no speed limit
rougher terrain
get alot of "oh shit!" moments
no traction=fun time

 

LOL I really wish the internet had a sarcasm buttom.

Im in the same boat, youngest ever at my place to be in my position, and the youngest that works here. It feels good when you have the opportunity to excel and prove yourself!

ps- You have to be at least 18 to work at a bank . Credit check, background check, etc. But you are very lucky to be doing what your doing. Stick with it and there can be a lot of money to be made!!!!

 

Jeremy, I think I remeber reading that you ran the defined spring under kit will stock length shocks for a little bit of time.

Was that ride better than spring over? I will have my defined kit in the next few weeks, but won't have the money to do new shocks and such for a few months after. Wondering if I should install it when I get it or wait to get everything done at one time.

 

the sarcasm button is - haha

and i worked for bank of america when i was still 17. i worked here for 5 months before i turned 18, i was still in HS so i worked 1230-630 m-f

they didnt require a backround check back when i started working, and i was contracted but still. i finally got made perm and had to do a bunch of shit, but i ended up getting almost a 4 dollar raise and paid time off/sick time which i never had before. and benefits!!

 

I got into my career field when I was 18 also unfortunately A lay off set me backa few years ago but Its funny how things work out, because now I fell into one of the best jobs ill probably ever have. if it werent for being laid off i would never have this job i would never be in california and I wouldnt be building my truck.

 

I take out loans to build my truck, then pay them back with credit cards

 

i bet your credit score is good

 

Winning.

 

I should have just seen if the dealer would finance my LT along with the Vehicle loan! haha

 

i actually thought about doing this to raise my credit so i can get a house. but instead im just going to take a loan out on a tow rig and trailer then i should be able to buy a house

 

I did.

Its hard to compare to stock SOA. I installed mine because I couldn't take starring at it anymore lol. With the 5100'S it was a little rough on the road, but did "OK" offroad. If you put it in before you get bigger shocks I would just run it with the stock bilsteins until you can get big nastys in there.

 

I just gonna say that'll build the shit out of your credit!

I did that when I was 18 and was able to get a loan. Got a loan for 2k put it in the bank. Made a few payments using that same 2k, showing history. Then paid that shit off.

had a 740 score by 19.

 

jk, i dont even have a credit card, but my credit score is higher than that ^
