    ^ Yeah man. . . Not a cheap project at all. I'd recommend buying the kit you want first. Then install later. Thats what I did as I paid Ambigious some cash and a hand job. <== I didn't get my tax return yet and needed to knock off some cash.

    ^ You going to marry her? If not, she doesn't need to know.:rolleyes:

    If so, then you sir are in the same boat as I. You might want to listen to her then. :mad:​

    I'm 19, so marriage isn't on my mind just yet haha. But I can definitely see myself marrying her, it's just I wish she wasn't so intent on not letting me mod the truck.

    ^Its a catch 22 imho. Thats a good girl right there to try and get your priorities right.

    Then again, its not a good start to a long life down the road for you two. You need to establish some common ground. . . ​


    Good Luck to you Sir. . . LOL :p

    I remember having a convo with her, and I was fooling around the idea of LT truck someday and she was all like "Well, if we are making dough, I wouldn't mind you doing that at all!" I'm like "WHY WON'T YOU LET ME MOD MY TRUCK NOW IF I HAVE THE MONEY TO DO SOME THINGS?!?!?!?!"

    Better put her in her place now and if she doesn't understand give her the walking papers. I am 41 and been married for 18 years. My wife knows to let me do my thing as long as I am not taking on debt. It's worked great.

    Yeah I mean I understand her being concerned about me spending my money because I was in debt a while ago. It was my dumb mistake but I worked hard to pay it off and have been debt free since.

    I pay for all the mods on my car and am paying off the car at the same time, while taking her out to dinners and dates and stuff, I still manage all that so I don't get what the big deal is if I want to get some mods done and I have ample for it.

    Agreed. You are still way young. Enjoy the heck out it. When I was your age I was working at a speed shop and going to college. Every check I would cash in to buy parts for my 67 Cougar. Then go out on the weekends and street race to make the money back. :eek:
