i know people who would buy trucks like these. i have a freind who owns a body shop and buys totaled trucks and fixes them himself and uses them as DD's or resells them.

Same here. If you have the ability and don't mind the salvage title you can roll some nice vehicles for dirt cheap. A guy I know buys repairables and fixes them in his garage. If he is selling the vehicle, he will replace the air bag cartridges (expensive) but if he is using it as his daily driver he just super glues the cartridge (either the horn or the dash) back together. Can't even tell the air bags had ever been blown.

- Acceptably cheap tires?
  
  By asilverblazer · Posted 21 minutes ago
  
  Long story short I ended up with a set of Ironman tires because of a wheel size change on our Yukon Denali - I intended for them to be temporary (no more than 12 months) until I put the tires I wanted to on it, a premium A/T. However, they've been great, quiet, no traction issues, wearing even and very cheap here. They could use a better balance job from a slight vibration at 85 or higher. But so far, I've completely abandoned my original intention to not keep them. I won't go so far as to say I'd immediately buy them again for a permanent long-term solution but if my experience continues like it has with them, I could come to that conclusion. I was also told they are made by Cooper, don't know for sure though. For your purposes on the little truck you're working with, I'd highly recommend them.

  Honestly, I've been buying stuff at Wally or even Costco. They've lasted plenty long. I get over a year. Out in elements 24/7. The beam type I've used or seen are designed to be pressed against the glass at speed. I do clean my glass with a clay bar occasionally and use RainX or equivalent on glass
- Rear window leak

  Wish I would have came here sooner! 2019 trail boss bought with roughly 14,000 miles. Not long after owning it I smell mildew and started investigating. Water had been leaking into the rear window somewhere. The rear headliner was water stained in the whole backseat area. Took it in to my dealer atleast 4 times for this. headliner replaced and rear window along the way. I now have around 84,000 and just the other day noticed a mildew smell again and sure enough the headliner is water stained again. Its currently at the dealer so I cant see what the build date is right now. I'm just hoping they cover they're work performed in the early stages of this now that I'm out of warranty!!! I'm supposed to get an update later today or tomorrow. My dealer has been great to work with but I think I need to get GM involved as this is unacceptable!!
