Strange this morning when I got out to open my gate the interior lights turned on like they are supposed to. o_O

Still waiting on rear shocks which may take a while and ordered a new front wheel hub to replace the very last OEM part in the front. (Going with another 4wd Timken SP500300). While I'm in there again for the 19th time this month I have been considering a steering stabilizer. Not to bandaid anything but to dampen some of the wheel jerking bumps I frequently encounter. Still need to get an alignment but I want to play with some rear setups first and make sure the ride height is 110% how I want it.

Lastly, I lost out on a set of OEM Z71 fog brackets from a local part out, anyone got a set laying around they want to get rid of?


***Edit*** Shocks will be here tuesday!

Didn't realize how cheap these were and apparently I ordered this exact model in 2016 according to Amazon. I assume the shock itself is total junk so when it comes in I'll get measurements and try to find a decent replacement, maybe a Bilstein.

Put a viking shock on it also

I've already scrolled through the parts catalog looking at what I think will fit. Wish I could find the shock length online but KYB site is worse than Vikings.

As cool as a double adjustable sexy-looking steering dampener is, it's totally pointless and no I won't drop the $200 on one lol.

I'm clearly not a good gambler. lol


I missed that detail. Have you swapped the switch yet?

No I havent it got here Thursday but I hate interior work so I'll put it off a little longer.

will an awd yukon pulling tire suffice?

also i am putting on new tires next week, may be able to make this happen

Pulling tire would be awesome to see! I'd like to get straps and try that myself, but I think it's under powered by a few hundo.

I'll also settle for a tight radius AWD donut. It can be in the rain or with super crappy tires. I must warn you tho I don't think I could find a track willing to let me circle track a Tahoe lol. Auto X would be fun tho.
