Re: kinda new to the sene
Welcome from NC and great looking project. Sounds like you have a good idea already on what you want to do with it. Looks pretty solid for a MI truck.

I will pop in a bit of advice though, taking a loan out to work on your truck is never a good idea. Better to do small things if you don't have much cash and save up for the big things and not owe anybody anything. Get a swear jar or a DB jar depending on your vice. It'll fill up pretty quick. ![]() It's not a sprint, it's a marathon!

Re: kinda new to the sene
Welcome fellow Michigander! Im a downstater near OH. Lots to learn on these. Ive had a truck 25 years and am still learning. I agree with FetchMeAPepsi, work on small stuff. And save for the big stuff! Look through all the old posts. Familiarize yourself on how to do the search.

Re: kinda new to the sene
Haha! Yeah the kids can be hard on anything, but you just luv em anyway. With a new kid you might be needing to adjust your timetable a bit. You don't get much sleep for the first four months. Six in some cases.
No need to rush it. Take two years if you need to. Or five. You have a lot of new experiences heading your way with a baby and you sure don't want to miss a single one. Congrats! ![]() ![]()
