Does anyone add it all up? I did....

Well, I've only had this truck for.....11 days, and I've spent this much (so far):




Does anyone else keep track of what they've bought, how much all the costs were and where they got it from? Or am I the only obsessive compulsive one on this site!

 

No, but I keep a folder of everything related to the truck. It's come in handy on occasion.

 

I keep a spreadsheet for all maintenance and mods related to mechanical. Folder for all reciepts but not a combination spreadsheet like yours. When I have sold vehicles the purchaser have always liked this for proof on how I have maintained vehicle.

 

Yes, sadly I do. I don’t look at it, it can cause convulsions

 

Yeah, I've got hard copies of records for that (and digital). I like keeping accurate records so the next guy who buys my vehicle can see all the attention I gave it.

 

I would be worried about my wife seeing it and needing to have a talk.

 

In 5 years of ownership, I’ve spent about $14 dollars in aftermarket mods for rear seat hand holds.

 

I have a full build list in a google doc I've been creating for months. Don't even own one yet. Lol. Waiting for a 24'

 

Liar!

 

What tow straps are $16.99?

Don't use those for recovery. The hook can come off and kill or injure you or others.

 

I keep a binder with all receipts and a small flash drive with scanned copies of the receipts, Just in case.

You know the saying on backups... one is none and two is one..

 

I don't because I don't care.

Not worth my time keeping track of what I spend between vehicles and the boat.

 

I don’t write anything down I usually know what I have spent on mods.

 

I keep a detailed service log (do it all myself) with pics of receipts, mileage, parts, etc. No cost tracking though.

 

Same here.

It doesn't matter to me how much I spend on my 4R, because I ain't never gettin' rid of it. Hopefully this will be my last vehicle that I ever purchase.

 

Sounds unbelievable, right?

I sometimes feel that I do not belong on this forum.

 

Leave no evidence behind!

 

I would be a loco borracho....if add all my stuff up. Bad idea.

 

Full stop. Boat expenses "Never comes into a conversation", in my neck of the woods. That is like the sacred unicorn, as to speak.

 

I too have a spreadsheet.perfectly normal. Perfectly health to keep track.

 

You must be a fellow Virgo!?
Sounds like me
Except your records are actually documented much better. I should be ashamed of myself!

 

Why? Do you want to get depressed adding it all up!
I got $1000 to do mods from the wife on new vehicle. I have spent all of $1000. Multiple times.

 

Yeah, we were just talking about you at the last "Obsessive Compulsive Disorders" meeting, and you SHOULD be ashamed.

You get the cone of shame!

 

Tastes vary, I guess. I question some of your choices. For instance, a Screen Pro-tech kit instead of a Hi-Lift jack. Inexpensive tow straps vs high quality ones. Interior LED lights? $200 headlight bubs versus off-road lights? Fire extinguisher? Air compressor? Jumpers? Traction mats? First Aid kit?

 

When you're the one spending the money for the mods for my truck, then you can question my choices. Until that day: Stay in your lane.

 

Some of us go where there are no lanes!!! Just speaking from 50+ years of off-roading, both professionally and recreationally. Sorry if I criticized your cruiser. Chill out and have a latte, bro!

IF I ever see you on a trail, I'll be happy to pull you out!
