Surprised I haven't seen you around, I'm up in Antioch.
Im suprised too, sextons napa is the only one I step foot in!
We love to smuggle in gas from genoa city WI. Especially the ethanol free gas. Wonder Lake, Downers Grove behind enemy lines.
This is news to me and something I didnt know existed lol. The only ethanol free I knew of was the leaded 110 off 45/C at golden oil co

91 Octane is ethanol free. I ran into a Richmond IL police officer at the pumps and asked if he was smuggling gas too. He said no he is saving the taxpayers thousands of $$. Gas tax way lower in WI. Richmond is in IL on the border.

That it is! Thankfully im up in pleasant prairie quite frequently and oddly enough ive fueled up at that station a few times lol. Doesnt apply to most on here but at least in our area other than the marathon in antioch #2/non bio diesel is becoming impossible to find

Figured id update, especially since ive seen so many more modded tahoes and ssv/ppv's around here lately.

I ended up replacing the bumper covers, did the front valance mounting tab delete and clearanced the front bumper support for offset wheels(will be doing a norcal here shortly. Ive added 17x9-12 falcon wheels wrapped in 285/70falken rubitreks(12lbs lighter than my oe/goodyear combo), its fully tuned now by myself, an android auto head unit and im quite content with it now. Unfortunately i found a couple water leak areas that apparently are common with these things, as well as no rubber cap over a 2in hole in the firewall that i thankfully caught before needing a floor pan. Whoever stripped this thing of its police equipment absolutely took some short cuts

Ill say i feel like I have my sanity back not having to listen to obnoxiously loud goodyear duracraps as well. All in all im beyond happy with this thing
