Ain't that the truth. It's all the little $5 things you buy that add up, because it's too much to stomach 100 at a time lol

Oh, and I did do something productive on Friday. I sanded my roof down, got all the rust off it, hit the spots with a rust converter to be sure, and filled in the one small hole with some bondo, then primed and painted. Couldn't get color match paint, so I just used basic rustoleum gloss blue, and the store only had the light primer, so used that too. It's just close enough of a match to not stick out like a sore thumb

Spray paint... Spray paint.... Hose clamps... Spray paint (wheels, bumper step, interior, roof)... ipod charger... speakers... cinder blocks as part of my redneck tailgate...

I always find small things to buy. I'm putting aside the money right now for new headlights, 55w HID kit for my off road lights, a new tail gate, and a paint job. And most likely a transmission in the next year. Whooo 175k miles

I'll get some more pix of it later. I kinda skimped on supplies so the finish on the top of the roof isn't very uniform, but it is protected from rust and looks better than peeling clearcoat and rust haha
