I washed my Burban yesterday for the first time in like forever. I saw a LOT of dirt coming from underneath the rear corner pillar vent covers so I actually ended up removing them to clean underneath them. I figured they would be pretty dirty under there, but I didn't imagine that they would be as bad as they were. There was easily a quarter inch thick layer of mud built up under there! Every time I was the roof, that's where the dirt runs to. So I cleaned all the crud off and dirtied up about 15 or 20 microfiber towels in the process.

Took a trip to San Antonio from North Dallas for the weekend (to see drum/bugle corps performances with my wife/daughter) and stayed at the Westin Riverwalk. Had to valet the Tahoe. Got in it to leave Sunday morning and saw this. Never thought I would have needed jimmyjam thing @Tonyrodz has installed.

Filed a claim with the valet company. Had SAPD out to look just for documentation. Westin management is going to bat for me as just received a denial from parking company. Will have to see how it shakes out.

What you can't see in the pics is the metal of the door skin is creased, bulged and dented. If it was just the handle/cylinder it wouldn't be that big of a repair. Estimates came in from $1300-1500.

Also, nothing of value was kept in, so they didn't take anything. Must have been a ****** thief, as I half would have expected the truck to be long gone.

Good times.

I'm really happy they didn't steal it! Scum of the earth Imo. Nothing can stop a thief if he really wants your ride, but those Jimmy hammer deals will def slow them down. Good luck with it buddy.

After stopping at the autoparts store to price some 3157 sockets, I headed out for a geocaching run...

And ended up about an hour south of home in Manistee, MI.

I got here just before sunset, and stuck around to take some photos with the DSLR.

Walked about 2500' out near the end of the south pier.

I hate those things. Hard to work on.
getting the white one off with just my fingers and a pick took about 10 minutes, the black one was worse but i just destroyed it to remove it. The fix was done in less than 1hr combined, but waiting for a ride to the parts store took a bit longer since this happened after my work day.

I just had to replace them on my 01. Luckily they were destroyed already and all I had to do was install the new ones. The cowl/firewall makes it a pain to access.

I did the seat mod on my XL today, except mine doesn't go down as far as everyone elses. It definitely goes down further than it did, but not all the way.

It was also not a quick mod like I had imagined. Took a good hour to cut the spring, tube, and nut off.
