Well hey if I'm welcome then I will. Never found another forum with the same community feel as TYF. So if at least a few people would be interested in following progress on the RR then I'd love to have it here.

Hell yeah! I wouldn't mind seeing what goes on with it. I drove a supercharged one once, pretty impressive. I beat the snot out of it.

Will get some snow pics this week, we have lots this year.

One thing is for sure modding the RR is gonna be a little more $$$ than all the GMs I've done.

Purchase finalized on Friday and Saturday ordered wheels/tires and tail lights. Picking her up Feb 14th!

Wheels are 22x10.5 on 285/40/22 proxes 2

Finally finished up my retro for the Silverado, I was missing a nut for one of the projectors and it took forever to get here. Now of course I forgot to order wiring for the HIDs so that's on the way now. Excited to see how they look mounted.

This is my first retro and they might be a little rough but whatever it only cost me about $400.

Picked up my range this week, loving it so much. Put about 800 miles on it in the first week and got my new wheels put on today and finally got a few pics. This thing is so fast and smooth compared to anything I've had.

Uploading clean and good quality pics now. Too bad Im a terrible photographer and had a dirty lens LOL. Oh well, next time. Roads are wet so it got dirty right away and had to take the pictures at the car wash.


She could use a good detail, but I'm leaving her tomorrow and wont see her until August. It'll be at my parents place so I'll get them to bring it to shops for me when I'm ready to get stuff done. Not much planned for it other than darker tint all around and autobiography grill/vents and painted door handles/lower trim.

Wheels are 22x10.5 XO Caracas on Toyo Proxes II 285/40/22

Truck overheated last night in -35 Celsius. Anyone have any ideas? Why does my coolant look like this? Have a bad feeling lol.

Did you pull your oil dip stick? What does that look like? Also try looking on your oil fill plug if it's on the valve cover. If those look funky underneath I'd guess head gasket.

Truck turned out fine so I'm happy.

Got a fresh 10" dumped in the last two days and went from -30 C and -52 windchill to -3 c in those two days. Back to -25 tomorrow though.

What???? And miss out on three weeks of summer bliss??? :insane: And @05Single is always saying he's the furthest north on the forum :rolleyes: NOPE! :D
Whoa whoa whoa I never claimed that I lived the farthest north. I said I've probably most likely been in the coldest temperatures than anyone on this entire forum. Word twisting over here:rolleyes:
