    Mine loves to wheel, and knows I LOVE my Taco, billy at the same time doesn't encourage me to spend money on mods. Haha. Actually, She gave me an allotted par of her bonus to spend on it =)

    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:

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