I even lift my pinky toe when I dump the clutch
Actually I find gluelam to be much more durable than #2 southern yellow pine 4x4 and 6x6 when used as jack blocks and chocks. Plus I got them fo freeeeee.
Coolest thing on my trip today was my mpg! Round trip 12.5mpg! That's down with the trailer empty and up with the trailer loaded. Ran 70-80 the entire way and only left over drive to pass someone once. Ran 93oct from Racetrac that tank.
Compared to my Silverado with the supercharged 4.8 that got on a good day 7mpg while towing I'm seriously thrilled. This was my first "long haul" towing trip with a real load.

Well my buddy borrowed my truck to drop his RX7 off at the shop today while I was working and the body shop owner noticed something bad on my Tahoe. I've always had to slam the window to get it to stay because the struts are new and way to strong but I never noticed this. What the heck do I do??.

Is that the upper hatch/glass that's cracked?

Yes right where it mounts. Looks like it's going to fall off at any time. The body shop guy said hes seen them suddenly let go and glass blow out.

Time for a new rear glass/hatch? At least the body mounts didn't crack.
Shut the glass and never open it again! Or better yet, get a used hatch glass from a wrecking yard. I have one I’d sell cheap but shipping would be horrendous plus it would arrive broken. I bought one from www.lkqonline.com and they sent it to my local yard for pickup.

Is this fate telling me to do the Esky 3rd brake light? Guess I gotta go search @Rocket Man build until I come across the pages you did it on.
