Have you tried any plastic weld, epoxy or JB weld? That'll work.

All
Three….. none have lasted.
Might try Q-Bond. It worked great on my driver's master switch screw mount.

Well…. More adventure time in the Nali…. Back to back road trips this week.
So the couple that owns the convention center where I taught line dancing for many years are good friends. The wife reached out back in November with “I’m looking to buy a Yukon and everyone tells me I need to talk to you cuz apparently you’re like the local GM expert… lol. , what are the pros and cons, here’s the year range I’m looking at.” She wanted a 2018 or 2019 or 2020. We talked about a lot and she wanted a Denali but was looking at lots of trim options. Then she was set on buying a SWB but wasn’t finding what she wanted. Her husband had already suggested an XL, but she hadn’t made up her mind. Let her drive the road tank last week and when she realized it wasn’t harder to maneuver she was sold on the extra length and interior space. So she found a few options and the truck she liked most and was the best deal was out in Henderson, NV. She asked if I’d be willing to go look at it with her because she couldn’t decide if she wanted to just have it shipped here and buy. Right away I said “no don’t ship it, let’s take a day and go out there and I can look it over really well for you.” She’s like “ok that might work.” And she paid for my time today and all my fuel which was pretty cool. So we finally got everything in order and drove out this morning. My Nali ran great all the way to Vegas and back and we had fun. She picked up a gorgeous 2018 XL Denali with just under 33k on the clock. One owner truck that was originally sold in Oregon new. Truck is in good shape, no rust or paint issues. No accidents or serious damage in the cardiac report. It ran great as I put it through its paces. Suspension and steering was nice and tight. 10 speed trans shifted smoothly. Everything functioned as it should, and she was pretty happy about the purchase. Forgot to put the trip computer to zero on my Nali when I left. Reset it when we left Henderson to head home. A touch over 400 miles round trip on the truck today. First photo was on a quick pit stop at Primm, NV.

At the AutoNation dealer in Henderson. My beat up going on 17 year old, 176 thousand mile truck still looks pretty damn good even up against a newer one. Lol. Love that I can get in and drive it 400 miles round trip and not worry about the truck leaving me stranded anywhere.

Also the truck got an interesting grill emblem change up. Not sure how I feel about it. Was supposed to be carbon fiber painted look, but it just didn't come out as dark as I’d hoped. But I kinda like it. I don’t know. I’ll live with it for a bit and see how I feel. Mammoth lakes bound tomorrow with our family friend Dorothy. Apparently the second Jeep is leaving early so she freaked out and was like “um I think we can’t make my Jeep work if the second one is going early…..” so we’re taking the Nali and I’m not gonna lie I’m gonna be a bit puffed up and maybe a touch bit of bragging about the fact that my 176 thousand mile can make the trip to mammoth with ease lol.
