Rocket Man's 2008 Bagged CC Silverado Build AKA "THE MACHINE"

[Rocket Man]

Nothing exciting happened over the summer with this truck. Everything still works and it’s been doing it’s duty as a grocery getter. I did a full interior and exterior clean today including the door jambs. Also swapped out the mats with my logo carpeted ones. I found a couple tools that get the dogs hair out so there’s no need to run the rubber ones anymore.

She’s still a hell of a grocery getter.

I thought about doing red seats when I bought the Katzkins but I just couldn’t.

Washed it inside and outside. Love the smell of Chemical Guys leather conditioner. Nothing has broken over the winter, just had one of the front billets develop a slight leak at the bead so I had my tire shop fix that but now I notice that TPMS sensor reads high. Sigh. I think they got bead sealant in it, that’s all I can think of.

Well never mind. The OEM lock ring will work fine with just drilling and tapping the holes just like I had done with that steel ring. I have no idea why they went to the trouble of making that one out of 1/8” steel. Originally they had used some 5/16” head sheet metal screws and half were...

Well I guess I’ll have the guy that backed into me pay to repaint the bed and fix the wheel wells where I rolled the fenders and caused done minor damage. I swear I barely drive this thing, grocery shopping is about all. That’s where it happened, but at least I was in the truck AND he has insurance. It was a Russian man in his 60’s and he did not want to give me his insurance because he had no damage. I called the police and was waiting on hold when he finally gave me his info. I’ve already had my friend who owns a body shop look at it and give the insurance an estimate. Now it’s wait and see.

All kinds of words would have came out if my mouth. I hope they color match the paint.

Thought the same. A$$HOLE!!

Ouch!

Dang brother. I wait for new posts about what you’ve done with it lately. This isn’t what I expected. Good job not letting the perp leave, otherwise you’d have had to follow him home.

 

[Rocket Man]

Nothings happened with the claim yet, of course the creep is trying to ignore it so they’ll have to go through the process.

Some pics of my backyard after I finished the paver patio, pergola and pond and then tried my hand at concrete stain. It all came out super nice. It’s really nice to hang out there and chill with my koi and my best buddy. The house has two sliding glass doors that open into the patios that wrap around the back of the house so I can listen to music or watch tv on my giant screen from outside. The great room is all windows and glass doors that look out onto the new areas. I always wanted my house to feel like it’s indoor/outdoor in the nice weather, one that blends the two. I accomplished that. I need to do a complete planting scheme in the spring to complete the look but in reality it will be years after that before everything grows in. And I’ll have to replace the lawn with a smaller prettier version. Overall it was a really productive summer around the house. The trucks did what they’re supposed to do. The Beast did some super work hauling tons of dirt. I excavated by hand for about 2 months and hauled the dirt and rocks away. Anyway now I gotta get some maintenance and bodywork done on them. It’s been a real nice last couple three months, fall has been sunny and 70/75.

That is some nice work there Mark. Great exterior living space. Love it!!

I finally got a call from Progressive last week and they determined he was 100% at fault even though he claimed we both backed into each other. My pictures and the damage on my truck combined with no damage to his bumper sealed it. I dropped the truck at my friend Jim’s body shop yesterday. He will spray the entire bed for me and remove the tiny dents around the wheel well where I rolled the fender and messed it up. So it will work out good for me to get the dents around both wheel wells dealt with at no cost to me. I’m dealing with some health issues right now but hope to be on the mend soon. Kinda miss the guys on the forum.
