Went to Phoenix for work and drove back the same night = 400 quick miles in one day.
She still has a very slight pull to the right. Probably need one more alignment (4th) but from a different shop this time.
Also, Slight rubbing from the new brakes. Might be a backing plate. I thought it would be gone after the trip but it's still there. Plastered with bugs and a grille full of butterflies again. So of course i had to wash her up real quick. Couple fresh pics

I know you were playing with paint schemes and all... and I've never loved tan, beige, gold, whatever... But, man, that is a good looking truck.

The wheels really set it off. And the little touches of course...it's a Denali, u bar headlights, Esky rack, etc... etc..., but something about those wheels. And I usually don't care for the rivets around the inner lip, but they look tough and lowered. Yep!

Paint is really the last BIG thing i want to do on her. And it is real close to me saying, screw it and buy a compressor and just start prepping her for a spray. And i am still undecided on the scheme but i have a rough idea. and thanks man
Yeah, i am generally never a fan of 'all chrome' wheels. I will probably paint the faces and leave the lips/rivets chrome. Usually if you paint a chrome or silver wheel it looks smaller. I'm not sure how i'm going to do it quite yet. But i can say i Really love this vehicle. It sucks up gasoline like a chamois but everything else about it is so plentiful.
thanks, Foss. I'm just trying to catch up to you. Always loved your Tahoe. It's so clean and it's the same way i like color matching etc..

You have a grey interior? I don't think I've seen that color interior with your color exterior before.
