Pretty exciting day. I initially was going to pay cash for a 2021 base model ranger or a new base bronco. Ended up buying my 2020 Laiat and spending a little more than I saved for. After driving 15-20 year old vehicles for forever And saving money, finally have my dream truck paid for. Now I guess I can start modding it. ?

6 month's amazing. You are not from the newer generations. I am just after the Baby Bombers.
What Generation X. Ok, I feel being frugal is taught from your parent's. My Mother was a stay at home Mom. My father was an accountant. What ever way you got to this point Thumbs Up !

Looks like you got a good start on the mods already...
I love the BFGs, and the flares look great, too. What brand are they?
Any actual owner Impressions you could share? Install go ok?
Are those "Raptor" lights in your grill? :)

They are the Rough Country and I love them. Look just right with 1.5” wheel spacers. Super easy install. The grill lights are actually a LED raptor style light kit from Walmart. ($14) I have 2 extra grills so I just drilled holes in mine and flush mounted them.

Congratulations on your good taste in trucks and your obvious financial acumen. (I usually use the previous vehicle as a trade in for the down payment, and finance for five years, with the plan to sell when when the new one hits 100,000 miles. So there is usually a brief period of several months to a year of enjoying that "paid for" feeling before starting the cycle all over again.)
