I'm the same way with interest. Hate throwing money away. Good job on knocking out the truck. Financial discipline is hard

it's not like I am not making money I just end up spending what I make on c-rap like dining out, feeding and clothing a gang of children, this and that and a few little upgrades to the truck lately, been trying to catch up on Christmas also luckily I started shopping in October so I think that is why money has been in limbo mostly. I actually save money by using my credit cards they are always sending me deals like pay utilities with your card and we will give you a 15% credit, OK no problem, lol or pay for your groceries with your card and get 10% credit, ok, done lol your loss my gain.

I buy everything on a credit card and pay it off every month. We make a couple thousand a year on cash back/rewards. No brainer

When I was moving the inventory and cargo shelving from my old work van to my new one, I grabbed the flush-mount LED cargo lights as well. I recorded the dimensions of the rectangular holes in the roof supports they snapped in to so I can cut perfect holes for them. I might replace the surface mount LED pods I currently have in my rear hatch.

ya they have a master card and you can earn statement credits and store points, even though those stores are either closing or are practically barren, sears is about done with retail. they sold off craftsmen to B&D so they own Craftsmen and Dewalt now

We have one independent sears in our town. Every other store around is closed, along with Kmart. Haven't used "shop your way" since our Kmart closed.

I was going to try and put the d-ring kit on today but it looks like the winch is def in the way so going to take more work than I thought gonna half to be a weekend project.

 

[pwtr02ss]

lol "D-ring"

lol "D-ring"

You read my mind!

well this took a bit more work than expected, had to take the grill off, to get the bumper off, to unbolt the winch, lift it up get the tow hook bolts in & out and then put it all back together.
had to hit a couple hardware stores to get a bolt as well, drivers side was easy once the winch was moved, passenger side I had to thread a bolt in reverse because the winch mount has a extra bolt hole. Initially I thought I was going to have to have a nut welded to the bracket but everyone was closed so after a little brainstorming I figured out I could thread a bolt in the opposite direction and still add a nut, so hours later lol it's done and of course it's dark now so I will get another picture tomorrow
