Why no angle like a pre runner?

Cause wrap around maximum clearance bumper like rock crawler. If I went the pre runner look I wouldn’t have wrapped the bumper around cause prerunner means lightweight. Since I plan to abuse this thing more like a buggy/trail truck, it gets moar protection.

I edited my original message about the car. That happened in 2013. Idk why I typed 2010. My bad

Got the hatch and other panels blocked out last night. That feather fill is awesome. Hatch is ready for a little touch up sanding and then final prime with 2k. Water block then paint. The other panels will need another coat of feather fill when I do the hood. I broke through in some places. Feather fill is not only an excellent high build primer, it also adheres to and seals in the SMC. You need to apply that, then top coat with regular primer. Again, really happy with how it's coming along.

It’s ok y’all I have a Tahoe update that might just stiffen your trouser snakes, it certainly hardened my nips. The AC worked today! Haven’t driven it in almost a week and like fords usually do mine broke last night so I drove the Tahoe today. Which was very nice I forgot what luxury was like.

Anyone remember how I was supposed to shim the starter a month ago because it made bad noises? Well I never did and the noise went from bad to much more bad and it didn’t start. Turns out the starter was very loose and it was the wrong one. Back when I bought it I bought one for an Auto trans which I would never own! Apparently there is like a 1/4” difference and well it really ground my gears.

Whoa what does your flexplate look like?

No idea but it hasn’t made a peep since the new starter, I have nearly 1k miles on that turd now since it gets 19.5mpg.

Haven’t touched the Tahoe in awhile just because the AC finally died again ( man it’s a hella slow leak). Plus I had back to back weekends at work with some pretty demanding events including an air show that I had to manage.

Anyway today I slapped the GMT900 line in the ac and got it blowing, I replaced the motor on my exhaust cutout, and cleaned/replaced my HID relay harness so my driver headlight will act right.
