If this can start becoming a common "thing" among aftermarket manufactures, and suppliers, that would be great, thanks in advance...

Yesterday I placed an order for door sill protectors and a shorty antenna. I've already received the slush/mud mats. I don't have the truck yet. The eyebrow raise I got from my wife on the most recent order was concerning. :) On the upside, the train is getting closer, so maybe I'll have a truck by the weekend.

Dangerous, very dangerous. But how do you cover the funds? Do they agree to make small stealth purchases over a period of days so it looks like coffee etc?

Shortly after my purchase I placed a lot of "smaller" dollar orders like you: Floor mats, window tint, stubby antenna, decals, sill protectors, cargo hooks, etc. I was on a roll until I mentioned to my wife that I wish my Overland had more aggressive-looking tires. I think all she heard was that I was going to buy new tires for my 10 day old truck and she quickly put a stop to that! In hind sight maybe I should have lead with the tire purchase :facepalm:.

I took care of that by taking my wife to the auto show to see a Gladiator Rubicon then I explained all the items I would have to add like on my last JK.

After staring at it for a few minutes she suggested just getting a Rubicon. Problem solved.

Separate bank accounts and direct percentage of income division of bills between me and my wife have not made us argue over any money issue the last 20+ years of marriage. None of this hiding from the other or getting permission stuff when either one wants to buy something.

Just one of the REASONS I've never looked back since getting over that nasty divorce in 1986 ! Girl Friends came and went and nary-a-one gave me "grief" about money issues, and the one or two that did . . . well, it was the last conversation we likely had ! ? Are there "other regrets"? Sure, but they don't outshine all the "good stuff" ! For which I'm truly grateful .

The right way to do this here is to make it look like you’re saving money by buying a less than loaded vehicle, and ‘set aside’ some of that savings to get it up to spec. It’s amazing how good it looks when you only spend $3000 to get your new car up to where you want while saving $6-7000.

Everyone likes saving money, right???

Vendors should partner with The Bouqs on a batch of arrangements based on dollars spent with sentimental cards ready to go, its the sensible thing to do. Stone simple and high quality flowers at good prices and you can schedule and prepurchase all your flower needs. https://bouqs.com

They even have a bouquet for when you buy your new truck over 4th of July weekend! What's another 50 bucks to let her know you just bought a 50k vase for them to go in?!

I did the exact same thing. Thank God my wife shares my vision of what “badass” looks like.

Hmm, well, there definitely is some truth in your words, but you shouldn’t take it so critical because everyone wants to earn as much as possible and sometimes everyone forgets about morality and ethical standards. For example, I recently chose a tractor for a garden in a store and the seller sold me one model with a defect and said that it works fine. This is a good example of my words. After that I had to return this product to pick up my money and already see the rating of the best tractors for the garden on the independent site https://www.growgardener.com. So always be careful!
