Fosscore's 2013 Suburban LTZ Build Thread

I honestly always go with biggest sears diehard gold batteries. The ones i have in the tahoe now are 880cca or close. Just because plow and winter here

Sears went out of business here.......

But the newer ones have the automatic shutoff voltage thing just for that reason. So even if you leave a dome light on it cuts power when battery voltage drops so you can start it in the morning....so maybe your battery is shot foss...believe me, my kids leave tge lights onbin tge back all the time, then when you get in there are no lights on and as soon as you key on they go on...ask me how i know....

My 2006 has this as well. If I leave them on after 10 minutes my truck will automatically kill them.

U should post that in your construction thread.

Mine also, but the push in map lights, along side the 2nd row dome light, was pushed on, so I guess those don't shut off by themselves. Maybe that's what might'v been left on.

Neighbor stopped me while walking the dog the other day and said that I had the shiniest trucks in the neighborhood. Lol I said yes and a whole lot detailing makes them that way. Was pretty stoked that someone noticed that hard work to keep them looking so good.

Took this photo just randomly one afternoon.

Looks like a suburban xl lol.
Yesterday I went to my local paint supply shop, a new guy that works there asked if i just painted my tahoe. I chuckled and said no, just hours of paint correction.
That's why we do it. To let others enjoy too. Anyone and everyone likes a shiny car , I don't care who you are.

The Suburban got some extra love today as well.

A full wash, mats sprayed off, vacuum and a fresh coat of Collinite’s 845 Insulator Wax all over. And she is still smooth from the recent detail before the hurricane.

Wish the wife lol ahem would keep it a bit more tidy inside, but with the kids and now the grandparents arriving tomorrow for the next 2 months,that is not going to be the case. Lol grrr

She needed to use the truck today while I was applying the 845 so I chased her off into the work rental Suburban. C’mon woman!

Collinite 845 is fantastic, and your vehicles certainly serve as proof.

Top notch, brother

Thanks man. I have tried other stuff for that final protection coat, but always circle back around to the 845.

It just works so well IMHO.

Yes, indeed.

It's so easy and yet it yields the deepest, most lasting coat.

Magic!

Hey man, you got a link to the G4’s you got?

What’s the difference between the G4 tails and the G5 tails?!

 

[kwOH]

What’s the difference between the G4 tails and the G5 tails?!

G5’s have like a sharp crease down the side that matches the sharp edge of the esky appliqués, G4’s are more rounded, to match the rounded appliqués of the tahoe & yukon.

I was reading his write up in the esky third mod to his suburban and saw his comment on the tails and the difference. Lol. I’m educated now!

Im kinda veering away from the escalade look, just wanna enhance & embrace the denali look.

Don’t go away from the esky third though! Haha. Such a classy and tasteful upgrade!

Won’t do that, the full LED is how all nnbs’s should have came.

His store has been mentioned on TYF many times as a good seller. That link will take you to his store and the G4s. I got lucky and found mine on eBay by a private seller, lightly used for $90 shipped. Got lucky and they have worked great since March 2017.

I am happy with the look and keeping the rounded G4s and appliqués. The crown jewel is still that fully modded Esky 3rd. Silly for sure that they were not OEM.

Even with all the Escalades and Denalis rolling around here, mine is the only one I have seen with that mod.

Love it.

I still don’t understand why gm did away with the full across led on the esky third. The NBS esky went all the way across, I don’t understand why they didn’t just continue into the 2007 model doing it. Lame. Definitely the mod to do if you have a 2007+!

In your opinion hows the G4s and rounded appliqués look with the esky third?
