Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

[Tonyrodz]

I'm trying to figure out what parts to order right now, but I will definitely be back to this thread.

Any questions just ask.

True?
Yes they are handy aren't they but the factory 97 rack on mine is 24 year old plastic anchors with light alloy rails. The cross bars are the strongest part but wont hold it to the roof if 1 of the 12 anchor screws let's go!
I hope no one is following me!

I can understand your concern about the age!

if you zoom in, you can see the added rack here.

Love the black n white!!
Good looking rack...Roofrack!
Nice profile.
Will post up pics of my rack on my build thread once I've got it built. Am thinking about a solar panel n house battery setup for camping/off grid living power when if needed.

Thought I mentioned this--on my little trip to Pa--mpg was 12.3, coming home was 13.2--or something like that. I think my 8000 lbs running $hittingly van gets a little better.

If it makes you feel better, I get about the same in thecopcar.

That was driving normal--without romping on it.

I get around 15 in theothertwin doing that. Thecopcar sux because of the all terrain tires and weight of camping gear and water.

95 is around $10.00 a gallon here now. Govt is taxing s h I t out of it at the moment as they subsidise a change to electric. I have spent $100 in 4 weeks driving!
Been on the push bike to work as much as possible to get some summer fitness going ahead of summer pursuits.
Have done 4 days on it this week and I'm ******* e d. Think I'll shout myself a bottle of wild Turkey on the way home to celebrate my accomplishments.
Hahahaha

$10 a gallon?? I bet there's alot of gas being stolen from cars. That happened alot back in the 70's during our gas shortage. In my area, average price if regular unleaded is $3.15 a gallon. I paid $3.64 a gallon for super.
