    ya parents hate my obsession, and my GF makes fun of me but in the end doesn't mind too much since w/o my truck she'd never get anywhere since she don't have a car. Friends/roomates love it since i'm the only one with space and 4wd so we'd never make it to the bar/liquor store during winter if it wasn't for my truck haha

    My wife has told me that she wishes that I would stick to my first hobby... guns. She thinks that would be cheaper than buying toys for the truck. Only if she knew what I had sitting in the safe. :D

    My GF definitely likes the truck and all, but hates how obsessed I am with modding it and TW... She also thinks I'm working all the time, and gets mad now whenever I talk about doing new things to the truck since I build armor for you guys on here. :frusty:

    "How much money have you spent on your fucking truck?", or my personal favorite, "here's UPS with more shit for your stupid truck."

    I love her, but love my truck more. So she can kiss my ass.
