So looking through this thread of constant upgrades and polishing I’m super jealous and pissed. I take pride in my ride however have seriously been slacking in keeping it clean. Have to say you suck man you should be banned. Lmao just kidding. That is one slick clean ride like you said it doesn’t matter what kind of money is in it. You’ve sweated you’ve tried and failed at mods and came out with one beautiful ride that you should be proud of. That goes for anyone else with their ride. busting their balls to make it sweet and different. Doesn’t take thousands and thousands of dollars to have something nice. And dude much respect living in all that snow and ice and maintain a ride to that quality takes work. Cause I know cutting an buffing these behemoths isn’t a quick and easy task. Like everyone else has said I love the blue. Had three blue trucks before my tahoe searched and searched and mine was the nicest I could find for the money and it is white lol. Beautiful ride man beautiful ride

And this is why I hate sending my truck to ANY shop here. Alaska is the land of hack jobs? I’ve had it at 3 different shops since I last crawled under it. When I changed wheels I seen this last week. View attachment 244592

Still have the first one. I liked it so much bought a second one. Still have a Craftsman aluminum racing jack and a 3 ton floor jack but its so heavy to move around I replaced it with the Arcan's.
Glad to hear . I’ve been buying cheap jacks every few months seems. So I finally bucked up and got a big boy jack, super happy that I did.

Thanks to @NeverSatisfied for the link on tint wrap. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M1KRMQZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_yHtJEb7EBD59T

I decided to give it a shot. layed some on the already smoked tails. Didn’t lay over the reverse part. Then layed some in the corner area of the turn signals, the bright white was kinda bothering me.

You can see the difference where I did the tails on the wife’s car and also see the swirls on the hoes paint :eek:DA3BF168-11CD-41B2-91EC-183F76422C37.jpeg 7596CECB-4D47-4D20-8AAA-DA651DC3242B.jpeg 1E695BB9-BD71-439B-8BFE-BEE126150EF9.jpeg 76130894-3973-49D7-8EB4-381640B3CACB.jpeg 0ED76765-0FF7-45F7-BAD4-191F2764DD0C.jpeg

Just like anything else this does take some skill. I’m getting better with practice. The lights I’ve down and the esky rack I wrapped are mainly flat. But learning how to work around the edges and the edges are tricky. I’m no pro but I’m pretty impressed with myself :D
I can see the 03+ silvy tails being a pain but it just takes time and patients. This stuff is pretty forgiving and very workable
