What did you do with your truck/shop today

[NitroCherokee]

Admired my truck in the driveway

I can see why your wife wanted a minivan now- the neighbor has 2!

 

 

My brother argued the merits of a minivan until he was blue in the face, always ending with "wait until you have kids"

 

Now I have as many as he does(2), and I'm rolling a Tahoe.

MAN CARD KEPT

Only minivan I'd consider is the Renault F1

 

 

We had a Tahoe (08). Bought the Van in Jan 2012 and traded the Tahoe in on a Camaro in April 2012. I believe I still have my man card to as the farthest I have driven the thing is from the street into the garage. It is much easier loading both kids in the van. As long as she is happy (and I can have both my vehicles) all is well.

 

 

Cuz if mama isn't happy nobody is happy, and if mama isn't happy long enough you'll be unhappy with half your shit

Luckily, my wife was raised in minivans, and thus HATES them.

 

 

And I installed my FIPK today. Installing the grille tomorrow if its delivered.

 

Also, examined the exhaust, after reading the thread about the GMPP/Borla muffler being so cheap, and then I found the Borla PN for the GMPP/Denali/Escalade tip, which is $33 on Borla, and figured, hey why not?

 

 

anyway,....was looking at my exhaust tip to see what it said as I noticed it said something but I did look until today......

 

"FLOWMASTER".

 

I knew it sounded better than the other Tahoe I test drove, but I hadn't really gotten on it with the windows down and radio off. It's definitely one of their quieter ones, it only roars when you get on it, otherwise its a nice Muscle Car rumble, like a newer stock Mustang GT.

 

At least I have a backup muffler ready to go.

I'll be hitting 36,000 miles in mine in another day or two. Poor thing gets driven lots. Next week will be a 1,000 mile week to boot.

[RyanbabZ71]

That was only 66.6 miles and 66 degrees

 

I am a hair over 25k

That looks better than I thought it would, nice work.

Thanks. It looks better than I thought it would also, really works with white. The back of the grille is flush with the back of the chrome, and it looks stock up close. Snipping and cutting the old grille is the annoying/hard/time consuming part. CANT WAIT for the new bowties!

I know the feeling: "this is a perfectly good grille!". Just make the first cut, its all downhill from there.

 

And I also just took off my bowtie. All I have to do is slap on the new ones and tighten the two nuts on the front.
