Getting upset with the way my truck looks.

these situations are why you need to become friends with someone at the bank. get some $ and a low monthly payment, pay it off.

other than that, not sure what to tell you. most of us can't afford to go drop a crap ton of cash into out trucks all the time. its takin 2 years for mine to look the way it does and a ton of extra hours to pay for it.

Rent and utilities could easily be $1000 a month.

it had better be a house for that much. Hell around here you can get an apartment with utilities and all included for 510 a month

 

[96ProCompTahoe]

yeah, thats about what im paying.... for my house.

 

[AtomicHoe094]

hes not responding, maybe he didnt know how to use a calculator

 

[roadrageror]

Or he got a night job too!! Lol.

I wake up at 4 am. Go to the gym, then work until 4pm. Then go home sleep for an hour. Then leave at six to make it to my other job for 6:30pm. Then leave there at midnight. 3-4 days a week.

Believe me or not, dont really care. I do live with my parents. But i have an apartment that i am in the process of finishing that i am paying $250 a month for. For now. Plus Cell phone $60 a month. And i help pay some other bills in my household. We cant afford to mess around in this economy.

I was just looking for an opinion, not get flamed.

But like you said, i guess ill make a list. and go at it. first start with a new grille. Mines hideous.

 

[AtomicHoe094]

i wasnt "flaming" you by any means, but i just cant believe you have no money to spare while working that much. Why dont you put maybe 50 bucks away every paycheck. 50 dollars is a very low but good start to buying new stuff for your hoe. But again, in the last thread you made up, we told you allll the "free mods" you could do and still havent seen anything happen.
There is a ton of stuff you could do to make this thing look sweeet (with freemods), but it only comes with a little effort and the will power to do it.

350V, I'd be willing to bet if you wrote down everything you spent money on for a week, you'd quickly find the holes in your pocket. Or pay for everything with a debit card, and at the end of the month, print out your transaction record, and highlight every stupid thing you spent money on, and don't make the same mistakes twice. If you're working that hard, and getting so little, I'd also suggest dropping those crappy employers, even if you are only 17. You're worth more than that.

 

[992door]

Do you eat out alot?

 

[AtomicHoe094]

sounds like you need to be more like a kid and get out instead of working your ass off

 

[roadrageror]

i would have been happy to have any RIDE of my own at 17!! so since you have the tahoe already your in good shape!! i know when i got mine i got a bank loan and an extra 5 grand to get a jump start on the project...been 5 years now.i try to do 2- 3 big projects a year and as many small ones as i can afford..(this year was lowered,new tires,rollpan,remanufactured tranny and t-case) keep your eyes on the prize and it will happen for you...and dont let anybody bring you down were just bustin your balls a lil bit.!

 

[DesTRucTO]

This is what my tahoe looked like when i first got it<P>

<P>
This is what it looks like now<P>

<P>
All i did was strip the badges and molding $0, take off the roof racks $0, took off the chrome wheel well trime $0, got my windows tinted $100, and painted my rims $25.

 

[TahoeGoBoom]

am i the only one who thinks my hoe looks better with the roof rack on? lol

I know your pain 350V, I work 30 hours a week makin 7.50 an hour, plus my side jobs.
I make enough to pay for my gas, and bank maybe 30 bucks a week.

Start with the cheap stuff, moulding removal, tint, shit, you should even be able to find a decent set of rims for cheap. i picked up a pair of NBS rims for FREE, and threw some tires on em that i needed anyway, and it looks 1000x's better than the stockers.

I see it different from everyone else tho. **** the exterior IMHO, I sit on the inside, so thats what i care about.

In the year i've owned my truck, i've done the full interior LED swap, system, tint, rims (nothing fancy), demoulding, and smoked the tails and corners.

she dont look that bad. just keep in mind that it takes time. I'm on the verge of sellin mine thanks to the crappy gas mileage.

but the verge means i wont let it go unless someone offers up 5k.

sure its a money pit, but Its a fun money pit. you'll get it the way you want eventually. time is key

 

[roadrageror]

Still have my roof rack.. I think mine might look like a station wagon without it. Lol.

 

[AtomicHoe094]

haha station wagons!!!!!!!

this kid kinda comes and goes.. like i saw in another thread he got his exhaust done? idfk, but im pretty sure an exhaust isnt going to raise your front end buddy..

 

[roadrageror]

thats what my brother in law said when he first saw my truck lowered.." why is there a station wagon in my drive way?" lol.

 

[TahoeGoBoom]

haha, thats exactly what i said. I worked on a guys truck, same color as mine, other than mine bein 2 tone, and he did the roof rack delete. neither me or the kid that worked with me liked it. lol

 

[AtomicHoe094]

i like mine without it

 

[XLdenaliXL]

i have to say i like it with it..... inless you have an atomic hoe lol.... if its lowered and kited up it just flows with out it..... other wise i would leave it on

 

[AtomicHoe094]

haha well thats good right?
