What did you do to your 21+ T1XX today?

Here is a run-down of how a driver decided not to let a car merge. Good illustration of how little egos can be dangerous.

Can we get back to the "what did you do to your truck today" show? Otherwise we should close the thread.

So, I'll go..
-- ceramic tint on front windows (to 35% NC legal)
-- weathertech flaps
-- all weather mats (full set)
-- gave her a bubble bath
-- full wax (traditional liquid wax, nothing fancy like ceramic)
-- rain-x all around

And my shoulders are destroyed from all that wax-on wax-off movement.

Oh and I made my first payment.

The point I was raising was that he didn't have nearly the amount of power in his vehicle than I had in the Yukon... And no, I'm never one of those drivers looking to show off and race someone. I'm way, way, WAY past those years. I only use that extra boost of power when I need it.

I just surpassed the 500 mile mark on my odometer yesterday, so that mini race was a perfect opportunity to see what that 6.2 can do, that's all.

I had this exact situation this weekend where a guy tried to pass me on the right using an exit lane in a construction zone on I-64 that ended in construction barrels. I was pulling a 7000 lb. camper and there was a guy right on my rear bumper (he looked like he was 10 feet off my bumper in the rear-view camera), so if I'd slammed on the brakes to let him in, I would more than likely have been rear-ended. And there were 2 cars beside me so I couldn't get over. My SAFEST option in that case was to do nothing (I took my foot off the gas) and let the guy trying to pass me figure out it wasn't going to work, and stop. When I was younger, my ego used to get the better of me with jerks in traffic, but these days, I just let people do their thing while I keep my family safe.

Traded it in on an X5 M Sport. Tahoe was too big for my mother to drive (she's 81), needed something smaller. Trade in was $4k more than I paid for it 18 months ago. Sorry to see it go.

Installed on of these Auto Start/Stop Eliminators today. Works great, easy to install, and now it’s always off.

Got my Yukon Denali tinted today. Tinted the fronts with 3M ceramic tint to match the factory tint on the rear, and tinted rear quarter windows and back glass with 15% on top of factory tint to give more privacy and heat rejection. Also got panoramic sunroof tinted with 40% 3M crystalline for optimal heat rejection And to block a little light without blacking it out entirely.

Today I overtook a speedster trying to cut in front of me from the "right turn only" lane besides me. Damn it felt good beating him to the point where he had to stop or rear end a parked car. I really pushed my 6.2 today, and I'm very happy for it. Today was a reminder on why I made the right decision in choosing that 6.2 engine over the 5.3. (no offense to the 5.3 crowd)

No offense but maybe you dont know power. These things are pretty slow, test drove the 6.2 and wow was it pathetic. For normal use and towing and comfort it is superior, well the Tahoe is atleast. It might be a 6.2 but being in this 6000lbs tank does it no justice for your enjoyment. Now take my SS Camaro, that thing alone stock got old, had to get a Maggie, that’s ballz deep fast.

You’re lucky here in Socal peeps are blasting now a days during road rage. Best be strapped just saying.

Gave her a wash before work this AM.

Purchased these last night. Can’t wait to get them installed once they arrive.

Little blacking out via a roll of Oracal 8300 Transparent Vinyl I purchased YEARS ago. This is normally the first item I do on any new vehicle.
