I bought tires in 2013 for my truck. Bought 4 and got the fifth one for free. ( then again the insurance company of the girl that pulled otu in front of me paid for that one.)

My first truck needed thousands in rust repair. I knew I couldnt afford it so I traded it in for something better.

If I had his truck it would be long gone and in someone else's garage.

The truck is cursed because he has created his problems. Nobody has that many problems.

I have never had that many problems. Even with my first truck I never had that many problems. Biggest thing I had to deal with that Inever bothered to fix on my first truck was the oil pressure sending unit. Every know and then it would just drop the gauge to zero. And I had sediment in the fuel tank.

Why would I want to do that Don? I dont look under my truck. And besides it isnt a show vehicle. I use it as a truck from time to time as well as a daily driver. Why paint anything under the truck unless it was a metal repair.
