I’ll keep that in mind when I go to do it.

Picked up my new truck a week ago. I’m still on the mend, doc just recently (day before I got my truck) allowed me to start walking on it, and still hurts some around the break.

That’s the plan. Hopefully, the PlastiDip that I have isn’t bad. Bought some a couple years ago, and the first can I used came out clumpy. If so, I’m going to use them on my 2x12 (for in the bed, re-coating). I’ll most likely go get a new can.

OH, trust me, they are all thin leads like that. I used my smallest jewelers screwdriver/awl to make room for the leads to go in. You will notice that mine was not as tight as Phil’s. My fogs were set to go ON with HIGHs. My picture is from my ‘15 that was totaled back in July.

I’m healed up for the most part. Last Friday (September 14), Doc said I could start walking on it. That afternoon, we drove by AV Chevy, and looked from the street to see what was on the lot, went home and browsed their website, chatted online with their online sales rep, and narrowed it down to four Midnight Editions (2 @ 5.3L & 2 @ 6.2L). Saturday afternoon, we went back to AV Chevy, had them bring them forward, looked them over, test drove one (that had EVERYTHING I wanted in it), and BOUGHT IT!!! My wife kept saying that I never buy anything for myself, and to get what I wanted. “Woman, if you only really understood what hell you just released!” I started my new album for this truck, and have a list of what I want to do to her. Which reminds me, I need to go add a couple things to my list.

Daughter had me drive her (Miss Edwards AFB 2018) and her Little Miss in the Rosamond Military Appreciation Parade this morning. Crossed the 100 “yard line” on the way home from the parade. I’ll be editing this post later, when I get pictures. Miles pictures are from when I got in the driveway. Edited 3 minutes ago by Ravenkeeper

My ‘18 Midnight Edition has the Z71s on the front doors, too, just like DHaze83. I’m going to blackout the red Zs (grill/doors) when I find my black vinyl or HI gloss paint. May even blackout the 71s, not sure at this point.

I usually do something along this line with my mower gas, at the end of October. Surrendered my 2=stroke gas to the neighborhood landscapers, today, when they came by to clean up my yard, lawn equipment is still baried from our move, haven’t had the chance to get in the garage and clean/set-it-up, since the accident. When I was a teenager, my dad and I would occasionally go to the junk yard for parts for his 72 Datsun pickup, and drain gas from some of the cars/trucks that had the parts we needed. We would strain it coming out of the tank and again going into his truck’s tank. BUT, definitely strain it putting it in the next tank.

My 2015 had a computer average of 19.5, and a Fuelly average (only tracked for the last 8 months of its life) of 19.3. My 2018 is a 6.2L, and I have yet to refuel it, since I bought it (Saturday, 15 September). So far, the computer is showing that I’m averaging 13.2, for this tank, so far.

If you were in CA, I’d grab the one off of my 2015, in Hesperia. I have a query in for getting my tonneau cover, center console, and a few small items off/out of it.

My new ride. Replaced my totaled 2015 with this BEAUTIFUL 2018 Midnight Edition.

Thanks! I was gearing up to artificially “midnight” my previous truck, that’s why I went with the Midnight Edition. Not sure about the idiot’s insurance status, CHP hasn’t released his/her name, yet. They do have a name, just waiting on the accident report to be routed through their chain of command for release. My lawyers are all over it. I hope not. I found that the UMI, that I have, only favors the moron. My lawyers are all over this too.
