Fosscore's 2013 Suburban LTZ Build Thread

[Fosscore]

Replaced the license plate LEDs last night. The ones I had in there were toast. Added these JDM Astars.

gd foss... every time you touch something it has to go back in perfect, I love it

A gift and a fault at times.

I bet he's the type to rip the tag off his mattress too

T-shirts yes, unless tagless of course. lol

It also says keep out of reach of children, yet Foss is playing with it.

Those are the ones I just put in mine. What was the old one?

Old one brand, I'm not sure TBH. Not JDM Astar. Both sides disintegrated after they went dim and one just stopped working, hence the change. I like the closed bulb look versus the exposed chipsets for that application better.

Polished all the chrome out on the long body and gave the interior a vacuum and wipe down.

I have not touched up any of the WDT as of yet. I only have a few very small chips on the hood and other than those few spots, the front end is still in great shape.

If I had a spot I wanted to touch up, I might take some tape, use a 3 hole punch to make the hole perfectly round, hit the spot, pull the tape and maybe wet sand it out so there is no ridge once I built it up enough to level the hole.

30106 miles

We were given a last minute offer on Friday by friends to use their condo in Key Largo for the weekend at no charge.

I loaded the wife, her mother and sister, the 2 kids, 2 small dogs and not too much luggage and after a BurgerFi and 89 octane stop we headed south for the 2 hour drive.

I finally got full operational control of the Suburban for the whole weekend. Not without a peanut gallery for everything, but I was the sole driver. Yes!!

We headed down and back to Key West on Saturday and back to FLL Sunday night.

The long body had great numbers too. I managed to snap people back in their seats a couple of times ummm due to the need for rapid acceleration. Lol

And she turned over 30000 miles leaving Key Largo this afternoon.

Just for @08HoeCD

Got the people, dogs and luggage out of the truck and gave her a quick wash and wipe down.

 

[08HoeCD]

Looking great!!

 

[Fosscore]

Looking great!!

Thx man. Trying to keep up with you! And it rained this morning just enough to rinse off the salt film from the ocean.

LOL about keeping up with me! My ride's got a few more miles on it than yours does, so I can't even keep up with you if I park her full time in my garage and tuck her under a cover 24-7!!

 

[Fosscore]

Lol

A garage sure would be sweet. That’s why I wash them so often.

After the rain passed.

I know the same old shots but hey I’m clogging up my own thread.

And palm trees, 85 degrees and a little less humidity is very nice.

Finally starting to release from summer a bit. Lol

 

[07Burb]

Meanwhile, up in Missouri we are freezing our extremities off and it's snowing LOL @08HoeCD mileage is just a number when it comes to making your ride look good. Mine's creeping closer and closer to 210k but you'd never know just by looking at it. Just gotta stay on top of it With that said, don't look in my engine bay. I never detail it because I have other things that need tending to before engine bays get cleaned
