Please don’t.....

That’s Carolina squat

Do it. That looks so neato....

The horror.......

Lol there is already a lifted 00 Indigo Blue Suburban that holds that badass card!!

I’ll stay low. But fun to look at that option.

 

[Fosscore]

Want me to photoshop some 24x14s on it

I want to see this matched up with the bagged version you did. That would be cool to see.

I agree, but not with the big rims. Need to see a "street/off-road" (I just made myself cringe a little) lifted version.

How long does it take for the paint on the rotor surface itself to wear off?

Already off from the drive to the supermarket. Doesn’t last long.

I will take a lifted version with the lowered version. Imagine 2 blue rides in my driveway? Not sure I would have enough family time. Lol

HAHA! Yeah, I feel ya there. I have a hard enough time juggling between job, family, and trying to restore and maintain 2 18+ year old vehicles.

Yup, that's doable. I could see it for sure.

Got up early today, washed the Suburban and rental and finished the driver’s rear wheel and undercarriage.

Just in time for pancakes.

Everything looks good. Can check that project off the list for now.

On to the other little things...

It is Super Bowl Sunday and the girls are making ribs for later, so why not take a break and hang out for the day?

@ArcticYukon

This is the brake rotor after that short journey to the supermarket last night. Less than 1 mile away from my house and it is already cleaned off.

I have been saying for years to get rid of those chrome centercaps that came with a machined wheel.

After having a kind word with the painter about overspray all over the Tahoe on Sunday, I came home from work today to find a nice grit of overspray on my fkn truck again!!

This time it had sat too long to wipe off. Looks like I am going to have to clay bar the paint again.

Seriously?

I mean I love keeping the paint in tip top shape, but it was dialed in tight a couple days ago.

Now I have to redo it and not because I messed it up myself. Grrrrrr......

Just be glad you don’t live where I do... lol all I’ve seen for the past 4 days has been rain, then snow, then a crap ton of mud! I can’t even wash it and it’s pissinf me off! Haha. At least you can keep yours clean right now!

 

[05Single]

That sucks. The life of a perfectionist, I know the struggle is real.
Just yukky snow and melting then freezing, haven't washed mine in weeks. Sucks cause I just finished another sweet one off mod but dont wanna take a pic of the truck all filthy

I'd be pretty pissed at him since you'd already had a talk with him and it happened again.

I gave the house the hairy eyeball today. Wife casually mentioned that the new owner who is renovating isn't going to give a second thought about it. She doesn't care. I know that and nothing I can do about it, so I vented here. You can feel my frustration. I will just have to correct the overspray and move forward. Grrr....
