Ah, payday never comes soon enough it seems.

you aint kidding.. i need to find some side jobs or something..

i need enough money to get this sas done.. build the 30 and do the swap..

 

[legoms013]

you're preaching to the choir buddy. This year has been real crappy for side jobs, nobody has any extra money to work with.

the government has sucked it all up through gas prices and taxes

 

[4.0B2]

man with what i've heard about CA and stuff going on price wise out there, i'm glad i'm in MS...

 

[legoms013]

yes be glad dude. i don't know what taxes or gas is there, but everything is pretty slow here.

 

[4.0B2]

our tax is 7%
gas was $3.45 today for reg unleaded
minimum wage is the federal $7.25

 

[legoms013]

Here tax is 8.75%
Gas is $4.10 a gallon, diesel is 4.65
Minimum is $8.00

I spent $78 last week to fill up my truck. Absolutely freegin ridiculous.

 

[4.0B2]

so gas is 51% of min wage here and there.. hm.. never looked at it that way before.

... It's early and I don't wanna do the math but here gas is $1.29 a litre. minimum wage is $10.50 and taxes I'm not sure if you talking sales tax or property tax's but ours is a 13 percent sales tax. It costs me 120 bucks to fill my f150

that's insane. Gas prices are 3.85 a gallon here. I am glad i only live 8 miles from work. a tank full lasts me 3 weeks.

 

[legoms013]

Wow, I'm lucky if I make it to a Thursday if I fill up on Sunday night.

 

[kris97ranger]

i fill up every 3 days.... haha im more awake now so ill do the math. so i think one gallon is 3 and 3/4 litres so gas here is 4.90 a gallon.. i think, im not good at math. its actually pretty bad when i swap out to the diesel im going to getting better miliage then the f150. (that is with the v6 in it though. no power)

Jerry cans tomorrow! This weekend I wanna get them and the spares all mounted up as well as possibly mount the bump stops. The rear stops will be easy, I n'll just need to make a spacer, and the fronts might be a bit harder. We'll see. I'll post pics of course.

These bumps are absolutely huge, and I will no longer have to baby my speed over crappy terrain with these guys stuffed under there. They will get me by until I swap to Bilstein 7100's and Bilstein bumpstops (a $1500 swap....yikes). This will be after my exploder disc brake 8.8 and gear swap.
