3-12-05...Wow, it's been more than a year. Hard to believe! I bought a car in June so I could stop daily driving the truck, it's a 1999 Toyota Solara V6 5-speed. I love the car, but don't worry, my passion is still off-roading. I installed some KC Daylighters on the front bumper to replace the Hella's that were not working anymore. I also repainted the front and rear bumpers hammerite black. Looks good. I have been working at National City Bank since February 04. The job is OK, pay is decent, and benefits are great, and I could probably make a great career there, but not sure if it's really what I want. Getting ready to do some minor repairs/maintenance to the truck in preparation for the wheeling season, but no mods. I ALMOST had a custom flat bed built by a local offroad shop, JCR off-road, but money kept me from doing it. 1-14-04...Again, it's been forever. I no longer have my chemical sales job, it didn't work out. So now I am REALLy strapped for cash. :-( I went off-roading at the Badlands in Indiana in October and had a blast. Besides that, haven't been anywhere else. Only mod I have made to the truck is I removed the solar visor, got sick of it. I've just been spending alot of my time trying to find a job. If anyone knows of any decent jobs in the automotive industry, preferably involving product testing, development, design, or quality control, PLEASE let me know. 7-27-03...Well it's been forever since I updated. Haven't made any mods to the truck, and probably won't be anytime soon. Been to the dunes off-roading once and on the local trails a few times since last update. I finally got a real job, I am training to become an automotive chemical salesman for a local company in Kalamazoo. So far I am enoying it. I also moved into my own apartment so I am a little straped for cash for the time being till I start making the real money once training ends. I am planning to buy a second vehicle when that happens, I want a 1999-2000 Toyota 4Runner SR5 V6 5-speed 4wd. This will become my daily driver / road trip / exploration vehicle so I can keep the miles off my truck and begin to build it up without worrying about down time. 2-25-03...Just made a couple small updates to the truck future modifications page. If I get a 40/hr a week job soon (I'm trying), I should have enough money to SAS the truck this summer. I'm really pushing for this, I can't stand the IFS anymore. |
