Default getting angry!

Well it seems like at least once a month there is something else broken or not working on the truck and its really starting to get to me considering I have no money to fix stuff, but I only owe 2 grand on the truck now so soon I can fix stuff, but the list of stuff to fix is hugeee. So I was wondering what you guys need to fix on your rides that youve been avoiding tell finances allow?
Heres my list

Electrical
Replace mirror switch
Replace passenger side window switch and motor and cables
Replace Burt dash bulbs
Blower motor resister
Drivers Side door speaker
Fix fog lights

Mechanical
Replace Pitman/idler arm
Front Calipers
Transfer Case encoder motor
Drivers Door Handle

Appearance
Paint frame
Paint Wheel Wells
Replace torn Seat covers
Get bumble gum out of carpet
Replace Rocker Panels/fix door window corners
Reinforce Front Bumper Mounts

IM sure theres other stuff I keep forgetting to add to the list

Not really. Just maintenance crap. She has 116k mi on her, and all here in Texas. We're getting ready for the Cam & Toy install in the next few days. Just waiting on the water pump to show. You prob take your truck to a deer lease or something right? Mine is the DD with perks.

I gotta replace my glove box door, console lid, seal the right rear window, get the lights working in the light switch and air bag keyed switch, convert the headlights to manual, replace the tailpipe I bent backing through a ditch and over a sidewalk, connect the alternator to the electrical system better than the crimp on connector does now, (I know, so hack, it works fine but geez, so dumb), figure out why my airbag idiot light is still on, and get off my *** and swap in electric fans and buy headers.
