It certainly is. This weather isn't helping any either.
Must've been nice, without the snow
I wouldn't mind the snow but down here it turns into ice so fast. It's nothing like up north in MA, I miss that kind of snow.
What did you do to your NNBS SSV/PPV today?

Was too nice actually, last friday I drove through Amarillo, with winter clothing, it was 78 degrees, had to run the AC *lol*
We tend to have snow here in NM, I am up in the mnts, but so far nothing yet (not even snow caps on the peaks) .. it's actually unusually warm, 45-55 for the next 7-10 days. It is kind of weird, there's snow all the way around, east, north, west. Good thing is .. one can do all kinds of stuff. This weekend I am planning on putting a luggage rack on the tahoe, if the rivet tool and bolts are here on time that is. (delays because of the bad weather in rest of the country)

Man, you can have our snow!! We don’t have to deal with it often, but when we do, it shows!!

Neah I am good.. I am just getting used to that global warming thing
But you guys have snow there now? (A friend of mine is from Houston). We'll probably have one or two of these freak storms in April, where it dumps a foot and is gone in 2 hours, like last year.

I'm an egual oportunity offender
Well, I'm back after a 9 day trip to Florida , to see my sister in St. Petersburg and some friends that I haven't seen in thirty years. I put 19 hundred miles on the Hoe in the last week. I got stuck in that snow/ice shit last week at mile marker 5 in South Carolina, had to get a hotel room at 10am on Wednesday. I wasn't planning on spending money for that, but oh well everybody says I did the right thing. It took me an hour to go five miles from Hardeevile Sc to the Ga line on I-95 on Thursday morning. I did get the Hoe washed on Saturday in St Pete to get all the salt off, however I don't think they have any in South Carolina. It needed washing anyhow.
The hoe did good, but I think that I need to get the tires balanced because I get a little vibration at 85mph. I like to pedal fast (lol)
Glad I am home, i'm getting to old for this shit!!!!
Ps I'm giving them my two week notice on Monday as I am retiring , can't wait to see the look on their faces!

Whose kit did you use and Does it corner and ride as good still?

I didn't use a kit per say. I have kind of a hodge podge of parts.
As for how it handles and drives. I'm still in the process of getting my alignment squared away. He gave me 30 days to get it figured out for a free re-alignment. Waiting for the weather to clear so I can either remove a couple of spacers or install factory uppers. I also have to figure out the drivers rear sway bar mount as the DJM kit was pretty much a joke on how to install it.
For just driving around to and from work and the store, it drives great. Besides figuring a few things out, drives good and handles well also. I don't think I lost any turning radius either.

None of y’all have done anything with your PPVs in over 4 years?

I just put a starter on mine. Now I have to replace the radiator. No complaints though, it's lasted 195k.

I did a redemptive starter change at 195k. The radiator let go on me about 200k. I replaced it with a Cold Case.

Huh, I recently replaced my starter and just replaced my radiator two weeks ago. What a kawinkydink. I'm at just under 250k miles.
Sparks, how do you like the Cold Case? Any pics of the install? I was considering an all aluminum radiator but after hearing some bad reviews and experience plus I needed one asap I found an OE replacement that shipped it to me next day for free, couldn't beat that with a bat.

It’s been in there 6 months. The engine temp is lower, since it holds substantially more coolant.
Some pics here. It was an easy bolt in.

Very cool, thanks for posting. How much more coolant does it hold?
How is the quality of the radiator as a whole? Welds look good and the bracketry all lined in factory locations without having to tweak them?

I’m not sure on the capacity but I think it’s close to an additional gallon. It took about that much more than anticipated when I refilled it.

I just ordered the Cold Case. It was about the same as the OEM radiator so might as well.

Do you happen to have a part # by chance?
