Default Wife wants me to sell my stuff and get a Tundra

Cant beleive my wife's words. I have about $6k in parts and she wants me to sell off my parts, silverado and get a Tundra. I could probobly get about $1500 for my performance tranny that is about to get built, $5K for the new parts and about another $4500 for my truck.

That would put me at about $11k to put down for a Tundra, or 6.2L Sierra(what I would get )

Not sure what to do!!!! I don't want a monthly payment, thats what has been keeping me from getting a new truck for years.... I know if I get a 6.2 Sierra I will end up tricking out, can, headers, Nitrous. etc... and be more in debt with the monthly payment....

Yea, I was thinking new sierra and keep my wet kit but I dont want DOD or VVT with that setup.

My silverado down due to the tranny going out. 3/4 burn is my guess. But its going to get taken care of this week.
I am literally $2,000 away from getting my 6.0 installed and rest of the add ons, this is why I am not sure what to do.

With the 6.0 installed and new tranny thats built tough, I would have a bad *** truck and no payment each month.
In the back of my mind I was looking at getting a boat next year so this would really mess that up.

Tundra's are junk! Ugly, useless, wanna be trucks. Oh yeah don't sit on the tailgate or put anything on it, it might break

Why is your wife telling you what to do on something like this?

Im married and talk everything over with my wife on big purchases but she knows better than to tell me what to do with my truck. Ive never understood this part of some people's relationship dynamic...
