ha ha, me too, my truck budget has always been around $300 per month if that, especially now with two kids in college (FYI the cheapest universities in California are the State schools and they run about $4,500 per semester just for the tuition alone, I was raised to value education so I share this even on this truck forum to help others out to start planning and saving, as getting this info out of these institutions without sending your kid there is like pulling teeth), so this month's money is going towards this new AUTO METER 2142 gauge bezel, new SYLVANIA H5006 low beam headlights (I bought the high beams already a while back), and a replacement door handle

next month I hope to buy a proper charging controller that will allow us to charge at most if not all charging stations (I will do a bit of a write up then on how this works when you don't pull up in an actual OEM vehicle)

Brake cleaner is a staple at Good Enuff Garage and I always like to stock up on it when it's on sale
