Bought an 08 Tahoe LTZ today. My 02 is down for awhile and although I finally got my 08 Silverado back from the body shop, I don’t want to have to use it for daily driving because show truck. It needs some maintenance but it will do for now. The dog likes it so I’m good. $4800 for the LTZ with 177k. I ordered Husky floor liners, stickers for the worn out HVAC buttons and a Cerakote headlight restoration kit. Anybody used their headlight product? Hoping it works as well as their trim kit. Gotta lose the vent visors ASAP. I don’t want to look like an old fart. ;)

Vent visors are good. I'd like to get a set for my 03, not the stick on type. I like the in channel style. Much nicer imo.

You guys that own a NNBS Tahoe: do you guys think that’s a good price on what I bought?

I know some people like them, why do you, I’m curious? The time I used them was when I smoked so the window was cracked all the time and it rains a lot here. But now if it’s raining I don’t need to have a window down. I think they distract from the clean look of our rigs. I personally have no use for them.

Went out to grab some tools from the back, and the hatch worked fine for 2 times then it stopped working again.
Guess it's temperature sensitive.
I'll have to order some new gas struts.

It was 9* when I was outside.
Mine is temp sensitive. I believe it even mentions it in the manual.

I have been window shopping for one since my son will be 16 in a couple years, if it doesn't need anything major then you did well. I usually see anything listed below 6k as needing work usually a transmission anything less (and working) is probably sold before I could get there. I have been looking for one I could get cheap and have time to fix it up little by little before he gets a permit. Portland is bigger market than what is close by me, I see deals pop up often a couple hours away so unless they are south/east of me there's no way I could ****** it up in time. sooner or later something will pop up.

Aftermarket running boards!

I have a similar wrinkle on the right corner of the rear bumper. Proof that parking assist is useless!

I've heard this multiple times from people who live in the PNW. In a hot & sunny area, even cracking just two windows just 1/4" makes a significant difference in interior temperatures when a vehicle is sitting in a parking lot even for just a half hour. In those areas that also have regular pop-up thunderstorms (e.g. the Southeast), you're taking a chance on your interior getting wet if you don't have these. FWIW, I don't run them on any of my vehicles because I don't want the visual intrusion.

looks like it got pushed in and repaired, maybe one of those short cement poles around a gas pump or parking lot, you know those 3-4 foot high poles found in many places to protect cars from hitting a building or structure. easy to do and a parking sensor won't see it depending on the approach angle but "mirrors" are there for a reason lol

I'm not a fan of the looks of the window visors but I can see where they would be handy in places where you get sudden storms and want to leave your windows cracked on a warm day.
My 2002 Altima had one at the front of the sunroof when I bought it new, and it was the first thing that came off when I got it home.

When I lived in So Cal I would pop up the sun roof, if the car had one, or just crack the windows so the interior wouldn't get to 150* when it was well into the triple digits, temperature wise.

Mirrors can't see around the outside corner (when turning).
I was backing into an angled parking spot once, making the sharp turn, and hit a power pole! I got super lucky and only destroyed my taillight! I won't attempt that again..

Really need a wider angle backup camera..

my wife did that with her's $500 fix :oops:
the only thing I ever backed into was a rock wall barrier, I didn't realize I was not in drive and hit the gas, bam! straight back into the wall luckily my tow package saved me but that was one hell of a body jarring smack! all it left was some fresh metal marks on the hitch square.
I drove forward over a barrier that had been cut down so low that unless you knew it was there you couldn't see it, it was just high enough to knick the lower cross member, that was years ago on a gmt800 I don't remember if I bent it or not but it wasn't anything major.
and of course a stop sign lol, who could miss that!

I washed the exterior and removed the stick on vent visors. They were brittle as hell and I wasn’t using heat at first. The first one broke into shards and took chunks out of both thumbs. No gloves on and it’s cold so I didn’t even notice at first until the blood started. I removed the others with a heat gun and plastic putty knife, and then the glue and residue with laquer thinner and elbow grease. Then with both thumbs bandaged up I pulled the HVAC control, installed stickers over the worn out buttons and reinstalled it. I was going to start on cleaning the interior but it started raining. It’s already looking better.:)

They're nice to have. Crack the window on a rainy day if you want to get a little fresh air without getting wet. I only have a single vent on my Vic on the ds door.

I like the vent visors, nice way to get a little breeze or fresh air when its raining. Nice venting when its hot, and keeps my coworker from tossing weird shit inside haha

Installed new idler pulley, no more squealing, drained catch can...that was gross, and then got my rear speaker working. There was going to be no way cleaning just the terminals was going tomwork, even the wire after i cut it was dirty. Cleaned it all off with sandpaper and its working now. Also while doing this, im putting sound deadener on the inside of the doors and around the speaker hole. Well see if it makes a difference.

Does anyone know if a brake controller has to have a trailer plugged into the rear of the vehicle in order to turn on? I have this Draw-Tite 2 in this truck but all I get is a single red dot if I push the manual slide to the left. No percentage in the display like I see online.

I think that might be correct. Grab the manual on this site: https://www.drawtite.com/brakecontrols.html

Troubleshooting the various display modes is at the end.
