I wonder what the neighbors think when they see me vacuuming my garage floor...

Oh...and go up your drywall a bit to protect it from any potential puddles of water in the future.

Thinking about the epoxy floor. Not sure I would want that myself. When I need to do some serious wrenching I am not sure I want to be worrying about my pretty floor.

The first link may not have been but it looked like the second link was. I may have gotten a little excited about spending @Rocket Man's money and linked prematurely

When I was shopping for my Burb I looked at one where the guy had a Roomba in his garage to keep it cleaned up. If I had his garage I would have too.I wonder what the neighbors think when they see me vacuuming my garage floor...
Doh! I missed that second link.

im not spending $1500-2500 to have a “pro” surface a one-car garage floor. It’s only a walking surface so hopefully it will last awhile, it’s too small of a garage to work on a vehicle in.
No issue using a floor jack in my garage. It’s only going to be a pass-thru to the shop I’ll be building in my back yard. I couldn’t even open a door with my truck inside my garage unfortunately.
I have a concrete footing around the perimeter that’s 5” above the floor so I’m good. The wall framing sits on top of that.
There won’t be any wrenching going on inside my dinky garage except something small maybe.

It turned out that the left tab wasn’t making contact to the pad even though it looked fine. FrostFighter fixed that, I had some on hand. However...I made the stupid mistake of using masking tape around the tab, and when I peeled it off it peeled some of the pad and a couple spots on some grid lines. I painted the pads with FF but didn’t see the broken grid lines until I used all the FF I could get out of the bottle and threw it away. I guess I’ll order some more FF, kinda tired of messing with it though.

I got the new under cabinet lights. They're way brighter, 4500 lumens for each fixture. I could put 2 under the cabinet so 9000 lumens vs the others that were 2200 lumens for all 6 combined and I could only fit 4 of them. That was false advertising saying those others were 2200 lumens- it makes it sound like EACH ONE was 2200. I sent them back and already got a refund from Amazon and id they say anything about it looking like they were mounted, too bad. How else could I find out they weren't as advertised? Anyway, I had about 1600 lumens with the others and now its 9000. I opened these up and deleted the pull chain switch since I use a wall switch. I also finished the lower ceiling so now its bright af in there lol. Link for new lights, thumbs up on them. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Q4ZMMKN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Like a damned vehicle operating room in there! Too bad it's not big enough to operate on anything other than a bike. But, it's a sanitary environment to work on anything. I'd actually be looking forward to working on projects in there! Compared to before, it's like working in a dark makeshift warehouse in a third world country then moving to a new, modernized laboratory.

Exactly. It’s as bright as a damn UFO landing site in there now. I like going out there just to hang out and mess with stuff. Plus it’s super organized now, I can find everything I need in seconds. I love it.

The twin finally arrived after FedEx postponed delivery 3 days in a row. It was actually loaded on a truck for delivery Monday, then Tuesday, then today and all 3 times it would get to be around noon and they would notify me delivery had been updated to the next day. I had enough and called them today after it was rescheduled for tomorrow (again) and asked them to start a case on wtf was going on. It was delivered in a small truck a couple hours later. I HATE FedEx. I love these cabinets though.

Gees man, only till page 20 but very nice so far. Especially like the repainted dash and the seats are nice as well, I could use a new driver seat. But I hope I will find a seat + dubble seat for front. They are originally delivered, but pretty rare here in NL, everything is rare for the Tahoe hahah

Thanks Tonny. You’ve got a lot of reading to do!

Gees at 73 now. Respect for the blower build. There is always something... Can imagine if gave some stress while it was your only car at the time. I'm wondering, you wrote you've permanent all-wheel-drive system. Is that mechanically? Because I can chose like auto 4wd/2hi/4hi/4lo, got lsd's. But I've to drive primary 2hi to not damage the drivetrain. You can safely use it in Auto 4wd mode, but manual says you should not drive long on hard roads with 4hi on (permanent 4wd in my case then).
EDIT: Already did my research, full-time all wheel drive system

Yes, full time and completely mechanical. No electronics to fail. It works great.

I can imagine, love mechanical things. When I put my vehicle into 4lo, you really the gearbox changing and you hear like a ''bunk'' (how do I say that in English haha)
Though I love that I ride 2hi as primary, because I like to swing the back out so now and then haha.

Just one more question. I also saw someone talking about the 5900 shifting point. Some video's on the pages just after your installation of your blower don't work anymore. I seen your yt channel, but can't seem to find a video with what the rpm is when the gearbox is shifting from second to third. And from first to second gear seems like the same RPM shifting point as my stock 2001 Tahoe does. Basically my question is. Are the RPM shifting points different in each gear, so at how many RPM is shifts from first to second, second to third and third to fourth?
OP
OP
I’ve never kept recording as it shifts from second to third or third to fourth. By the time it shifts to third I’m probably going about 80-90 mph and by then I’m looking out for cops and keeping it on thd road lol. I’ll see if I can make a wot run out in the country soon or at least watch the tach. I never paid attention.
