When shall I leave the tahoe with you for the next detail lol. Looks good!
Anytime.


The interior looks awesome! I’m working on that part! Lol
Yeah the blue LEDs really made the dash and the rest of the switches come alive.


6.0 swap time :naughty:
4.8 is doing just fine. Only 77k.


Or just esky handles......?
Legendary truck for sure foss. [emoji106][emoji106]
Thx man.


What do you clean your exhaust tip with? Mine looks ok from about 20 feet but it's nasty up close.
take these perverse questions to the private messages, pal
Quick and easy is Nevr Dull or Flitz. Both are soft and easy to make it shine. In between washing and polishing, I just take a damp microfiber and wipe off the exhaust, so it always stays shiny.

Your salt is on the road, where Fosscore lives, the salt is in air. Wash the truck and in an hour there will be a light coating of salt from the sea breeze off the ocean all over his nice rides. I grew up down there. For some reason there is way less salt in the air 90 miles north even though we both live about the same distance from the shore. Maybe it has to do with the Gulfstream?

Too right. I live 1.5 miles from the beach and the salt film is always present.

I wiped it down with Lucas Oil Slick Mist last night after we got pounded with rain and it had a fine coat on it by this afternoon along with some pollen, so I wiped it down again.

Saved me a wash and she looked good stuck in spring break beach traffic today. Grrrr...

I remember when Fort Lauderdale ran all them drunken college kids out of town and started catering to families and the well to do who spent more money and less nights in jail. Then they went to Daytona and then Pensacola and looks like they're back, like a herd of wildebeasts!

Oh really is that where they're going now? Glad I moved away from there. I was getting sick of traffic down there as it was.

I just said to hell with Florida and it's crowds of morally questionable detergent-eating, self-identifying nincompoops and moved to the real South.

I'd rather deal with bluegrass music and hillbillies than what we had to deal with in Florida.

Depends on what part of Florida Matt. The interior is all southern, as is much of the panhandle still. the Yankees have occupied most, but not all of the coastal cities. It would be nice if more of them Yanks assimilated and did not bring with them the reasons they left home and came down here! We prefer God over government and not the other way 'round.

Not all Yankees are carpetbaggers and scalawags, I took for my wife one of the good ones!

I grew up in a retirement town. Went from 100k residents when I graduated HS to 400k when I graduated college. Way to peopley for me.

This is what annoys me , the people that move away from the city to "get away from that life" end up making it just as ****** where ever they are
I don't mind the busy city life and kind of miss it hate the having to go into town for anything, maintaining a yard, limited delivery service, etc. But can't find/afford a few acres in town

Me too, whenever we have to wait in line on a Friday night for dinner, it's time to move up the coast! We're not quite there yet here on the Treasure Coast but getting close!

Yeah it's getting thick here in Ocala too. Still a good mix and still plenty of Southern Folk, but the intolerant "others" are trying to take over. Don't even get me started on the tweakers.

Yeah I don't blame ya man. I've been trying to convince my wife to move for years. My parents live in Kentucky now... Wouldn't mind joining them to be honest.
