    The BIG stereo install

    I had one of those double DIN Kenwoods installed in mine about a year and a half ago. I had trouble at first with insufficient memory, or processing power, or something. I had 9000+ MP3s loaded on a USB drive. The songs were loaded twice-- one was as a single folder with all music loaded...

    Powder coating wheels on Monday, Advice needed!

    In '06 we sand-blasted the chrome off of Iso-Grips (motorcycle grips, chrome-plated plastic), and powder coated them wrinkle black. They looked good and the chrome came off surprisingly easily. It was about as tough as hosing dirt down the driveway. joe

    Powder coating wheels on Monday, Advice needed!

    I bought some old factory Rallye wheels for mine. I Paid $60 each to have them blasted and powder coated. They did 'em back in gray but added some flake. It was a nice surprise. joe

    Iboard side steps

    Not that it's really relevant but I just ordered front seat covers. Mine still look nearly new and I want to keep them that way. The covers claim to be leather, and to match the stock color, fit, and style. joe

    Remote start anyone?

    LOL I have that too, but don't like it. Even though you have to hold the button down a couple of seconds, I still manage, somehow, to keep accidently unlocking mine. I had to develop the new habit of checking the hatch regularly. joe

    Iboard side steps

    Thanks. I wasn't sure because you have 2 different 'models'. This one has a pretty unique paint scheme. I was gonna compliment you on it. joe

    Harley Davidson badged GMC Sierra - What do you think?

    Man, if your dad was already that good when he was only 14, my hat's off to him. :) I'm a big fan of the Kenny Stabler and Lester Hayes Raiders. joe

    Harley Davidson badged GMC Sierra - What do you think?

    I was never that manly. I never rode a hardtail and always had a windshield or fairing. Urban riding scares me any more. Just for grins, here's mine. joe

    Harley Davidson badged GMC Sierra - What do you think?

    I agree with you man. At the risk of getting too deep here, I think most of these guys are looking for an identity- for somewhere to fit in. There's a guy at work who's jumped from fad to fad over the years- from tats to piercings to muscles to truck hydraulics to lo-riders to the Raiders...

    Harley Davidson badged GMC Sierra - What do you think?

    It's funny. Every Harley rider I've ever known had the same attitude-- ride what you like. Some DO mock Harley wannabes though- guys who try to copy the looks and (perceived) style while, at the same time, bad-mouthing Moco. The Asian makers have spent fortunes trying to milk Harley's formula...

    Harley Davidson badged GMC Sierra - What do you think?

    Yep, the leaking stopped with the EVO motor in '84. The EVO saved Moco's azz, kept it in business. joe

    Harley Davidson badged GMC Sierra - What do you think?

    Oh Lord! Stop! You're killing me! I haven't seen this much wit since Don Rickles. I must've gotten a bad one. No breakdowns and nary a puddle. Ever. Mine ain't even black. joe

    Harley Davidson badged GMC Sierra - What do you think?

    Yeah, he's a real funny guy. I've had my '93 H-D FXR for 16 years. I failed it once in '06 (I crashed) but it's never failed me. Neither did my prior ones. joe

    RCLC.....1997 2dr Tahoe

    I sold an '01 Tahoe to buy this '95. I drove that '01 for 12 years. The only failure was the fuel pump. If there were a 2-door '01, that's what I'd be driving. It was a great truck and I like the looks of them. joe

    Is there gonna be a sequel to this post? I'm on the edge of my seat for the rest of it. joe

    RCLC.....1997 2dr Tahoe

    That's a pretty good description of the condition of my '95 2-Dr when I bought it in mid '18. I looked hard for months and the 2-Drs ('95-'99) were selling for much more than the 4-Drs. It looked to me like the hobbiest/enthusiast buyers had added the 2-Drs to their target lists. I think I...

    Remote start anyone?

    Big Mama... I don't have anything as decadent as seat warmers, but I'm gonna guess that their controls are independent of the regular heat/AC controls. joe

    Remote start anyone?

    The tricky part is remembering to set the climate controls where you're gonna want them, before you get out. Or is that just me? joe

    Finally got a 2 door

    Welcome to the 2-doors. Mine's a '95 Tahoe, bought it about 18 months ago. It's 'bout as stock as they get. joe

    Remote start anyone?

    If you don't already have an alarm, I'd recommend a combo- alarm with remote start. I had one installed in my '95 about a year ago. It's very handy and I feel a little safer about the truck, since I park it outside. joe

    Best device for bluetooth

    Amazon sells a ton of different ones, with different combinations of abilities. I tried several of them. It's been a while but it may have been a Satechi. I got satisfactory service from one that BT'd from my phone to the unit, and had a built-in FM transmitter to send the tunes on to the...
