    Thanks for the suggestions, I just gotta wait till I actually own it which sucks because I wanted to keep moving it daily. Oh well stuff happens, maybe it will turn up, I was only in a boat for a little bit that day

    lol I actually waxed everybody but this one Sunday. In fact I’ve never waxed this one, but it’s very evident it’s been garage kept and taken care of! I realized I made a big error last week and lost my only key to the truck. The cheap carabiner broke so I put the key in my pocket vowing to go...

    Got the new Cunningham machine door pins and arms in. However, I’m struggling and getting the springs back in, the spring tool CM sells straight up does not compress it enough by about a 1/4”. I’m gonna try the zip tie and vice technique to get it compressed 100%. Also didn’t realize the door...

    Went down and cleaned my shop up a bit before work and drove the dirt road way in the gmc. I’ve got close to 30miles on it so far with no issues, I think that warrants getting a spare set of keys made. Anyway decided I’d see how bad this 4l80 first gear is and it impressed me! 1st gear and...

    Interesting, I guess that would make since the 6.0 4l80 truck I have a decent bit of time in had Tow/haul not ODoff mode. Either way a tow haul mode would be nice so that 0411 swap parts list grows larger.

    Now I’m 100% sold in the 0411 swap. Is the newer truck shifter have it built in?

    Just curious, I’ve only own two automatic vehicles ever, both for not long. I have driven a considerable amount of newer auto trucks and they all have OD buttons or tow haul modes. Do these? Because I don’t see anything

    Looking for ideas as to what front license plate to get. I was thinking maybe one that says “Gentleman’s Chevrolet” my backup is just classic American flag.

    I’m really striking out trying to find a driver seat. Spent half the day walking a junkyard and found not a single seat worth a flip. I’m not sure if they are that popular of an item or if the yard pulls them to sell them before putting them out for the public. Other things had seats but seemed...

    Sounds like you’ve got a good method and customer base! Best way to live forever is never quit working. I think the only faster snake I’ve seen is a Coach Whip, not sure if that’s their official name. They are silverish and get pretty darn big, never saw them before I moved out to this area and...

    I have enough crap to work on for myself and over the last year or two have really cut out working for nearly anybody for just money. Luckily my day job has the potential for wild hours so I use that as an excuse a lot. Word of mouth definitely will get you tho. Just as trailer ownership is...

    I have never been able to just sit and watch tv, I even struggle to stay engaged at a movie theater. I’m not ADHD, but I find I need to have something to challenge myself with often. So I hope I do stay busy with projects my whole life too!

    Taking my Tahoe across town to the junk yard tomorrow so I figured I’d hose the pollen off. Once this gmc is at a stable point where it can be daily driven I really need to give my Tahoe some attention. Mostly just interior and exterior cleanliness and a few minor interior repairs. Also...

    I think I’ll just stick to taking big dumps and utilizing the free toilet paper but avoiding the showers. :oops:

    That’s fine, I prob wouldn’t have put collision on it anyway. I’m already a PF member, how do I shower with the girls? Is that included in the $10.99 a month?

    I’ll vin plate swap it if I have too, but in Florida you can just about register a shopping cart if you say the right things, so I’m not to worried. Plus I know this sounds wild, but my local DMV is actually a pleasure to go to. They are so fast and so efficient it’s almost disorienting going in...

    Well my main reasoning for the non cloth is personal stench. I go to the gym 3-5 days a week and usually leave soaked in body juices. In my ranger or Tahoe with cloth seats my grundle butter seeps into the seat leaving nasty BO smell after a few weeks or probably days of doing such. The smell is...

    Finished a few things today but not as much progress as I had hoped just because I had no help to tackle the door hardware. However I got the JL C1-650s in with boom mat foam speaker cones to go behind it, and some roadkill fast rings which I only used a third of to keep unwanted noise out of...

    I don’t want the heated part in the butt, lower back is best. Crank up the heat and the AC at the same time and have my bulging L5-S1 soothed by the time I’m home lol.

    Heated seats are hardly fancy these days! Not like I asked for colder seats, although I’d pay double for that. My wife Lexus cooled seats are freaking awesome for combating swamp butt.
