Just finished spot cleaning the carpet. My girl had a bottle of dish soap leak on the way back from grocery shopping. Most of it stayed in the bag but some leaked on the side of the seat and into the carpet. Of course, it wouldn't have leaked onto the floor liner. I learned that soap is a mofo to clean out of carpet. The best way I could get it was to wet the area with water from a bottle, work it into a lather with my hand, suck up the lather with a shop vac and repeat until it wipes dry with no slimy feel. At least it wasn't something like cooking oil or some other food-type substance. It smells nice and the carpet in that area is CLEAN.

Washed the truck for the wife, paid all but a couple hundred of it off (will pay the rest off tom)! Also cut some of the rear mud guards so no more rubbing

My biggest thing I love is to go against the grain, I have built several vehicles that most people would scratch there heads at in the begining of the build and later appreciated what I've built at the end. One build being the "Blazcalade" where I took a 4wd 1994 Blazer, added a Escalade front clip with Escalade interior and did a 3/5 Drop on 24's and completely murdered out.

My biggest plan for the Suburban is to be a performance inspired grocery getter. I originally wanted a 2wd LTZ but I need the 4wd as we have a cabin in the snow and the roads can be daunting at times. I stumbled across this Z71 being a one owner with rebuilt drive terrain (Motor & Trans) with 130k on the clock for 12K and told myself no way would I pass this deal up.

Over the course of this year or more, I'm going to do a McGaughy 3/5 drop with 24" Trailblazer rims, Big Brake kit, Headers, Fast LSX-RT intake with Jet Throttle body, AFM Delete using a LS9 cam, LS7 Lifters and LS6 valve springs all from Texas Speed and Performance (https://www.texas-speed.com/p-717-dod-afm-delete-kit-for-536062-engines.aspx)

I'm also going to change the front bumper with a Tahoe "Hybrid" front bumper to give her an more aggressive front end (I would personally love to do a Silverado front clip). I'm also going to delete the roof rack and remove the side steps in favor of electronic steps.

I absolutely agree that it looked great leveled as I got a lot of complements here and there but I also chauffeur my 75 year old grandmother around to her Doctors appointments and was becoming a bit much for her to step on a stool as I refuse to drive her car as my head sits burried in her headliner, LOL.

Give it time and she'll look great and sound amazing too.

Here is some Z71's built on my idea for inspiration as well as the Blazecalade that I built

Definitely start a build log to track your progress. I have the little brother to your truck and I've been back and forth with what to do. I originally wanted to lift mine because it was a Z71 and I figured it was only right. But I've seen a few lowered and I think they look amazing. Keep up the good work!

can you do a normal drive by and flooring it video... to really hear the exhaust?

Took me a little bit, but here you go. COuldn't get my phone to stand up for video so all you'll get is audio.

First pass is a fly by at ~30-35 and ~1/2 throttle then take off up to the shift to 2nd.

Replaced brake light switch. Cruise had started to act funny. LED brake lights illuminate way earlier now.

It's Tony's 3-6. But I installed TBSS rear bags on the back.

Finally had time to install the painted door handles, bowties and rear caddy third brake light.
And went ahead and paint corrected and wax!

 

[Fosscore]

^^White bowtie and CM'd handles look good. Maybe ditch the rear window plastic finger grip for a smoother window look? Esky 3rd looks good too. The clear lens actually ties in with the white paint nicely IMO.

I want to remove that thing in my window too. I wonder if a putty knife and googone will remove it?

 

[Fosscore]

Yes it will. Just some double sticky tape holding it on. I had some fishing line at the time and Goo Gone. The back side is actually hollow. No holes drilled through the glass like on the NBS.

 

[Spanky]

hmm...looks like I'm breaking out the heat lamp saturday! lol!

 

[Fosscore]

Here is mine without the finger grip.

I spilled a little bit of bleach on the front passenger side carpet. I tried damn there everything to restore it but nothing worked.

That rear window handle delete was one of the first "mods" I did, about 5 mins after reading it on here. Looks sooooooooo much better now.

 

[Fosscore]

It's a silly easy mod that gets easily forgotten. My wife rarely uses just the glass.

With the power liftgate she just goes for the entire door anyways.

heck yeah, that looks fantastic! can't wait to do mine. it's really pointless having it there because the only to get the glass I open on my yukon is with the keyfob button. and I rarely use the rear hatch glass.

Had a pretty crappy week. On Tuesday, a bad windstorm blasted the drivers side of my Suburban. Picked up thousands of rocks, pebbles, and grains of sand and slammed them into my truck.

It ended up breaking 2 windows, badly chipped the other, chipped the inside of the passenger side windows, and chipped the rims. But what bothers me the most is that it pretty much ruined the paint. There are hundreds of chips that went straight through the paint to the metal. and probably thousands of lighter chips that may or may not have gone through the clearcoat.

Hope it won't be a fight with insurance to get the paint covered.

wow that sucks
