Oh I gotcha. It's not often they are back there but when I got 5 people in the truck chances are half of them need to plug their phone in. Plus I will use it to charge my drills for work

I finally washed her today. I did the nooks and crannies at home (covered apt parking) then drove to a car wash to do the rinse and drying. Also vacuumed and cleaned the interior.

 

The sour note is that while lifting up the driver side plastic door will I snapped it in half. fml. rockauto to the rescue???

 

If I find that part there I will also buy the rear passenger door handle. And the stubby antenna sounds interesting because the stock one is way to big and cumbersome.

The nice thing about the stock antenna is if it clears something you know the cab will. Also if you use AM at all the stubby antenna will hurt reception about as bad as having no antenna at all.

 

I think the stock antenna looks better than the stubby ones. But I do think the best look is to get rid of it and get the escalade trim piece which has no antenna hole.

Bigger inverter and 300 amp alternator

If alternator goes out again I'll get a bigger one. The inverter like I said is for running a radio while tailgating or someone charging a phone every once in a while. If need be I will get a bigger one.

 

It's currently a 410 watt converter and it had 10 gauge wire when it was the alligator clips. That's what I ran back there from the battery so about 10 feet or so maybe more. Think that was too small of a gauge wire?

[NEFisher11]

Ryan you had to replace a tie rod end already how many miles do you have?

[RyanbabZ71]

Almost 45K. Boot was torn. I think the popping noise I had in front end was from this. We will see.

He likes to work on his stuff, which is cool. My 04 Z71 went 200k with just back brakes, it went off road every day. In the other ride section looks like he is bleeding his brakes, I bet he don't have 10k miles on that. I had an 04 Z28 my wife drove one set of brakes every 50k miles, my wife waits to the last second to stop. Some people like to work on them, some like to drive them. I drive them, but its too hot to tinker here till Oct. then the buffer comes out.
