What did you do to your OBS GMT400 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[Tonyrodz]

Я согласен с Тони. это здорово выглядит! Очень хорошая работа! Но я, вероятно, сделал бы что-то большее, например эмблему Chevrolet (галстук-бабочка) или GMC, или что-то уникальное, что что-то значит для вас лично.

Согласен, друг мой!

ЧЁРТОВ GM!!! Я думаю, это выглядит здорово. Может быть, положить что-то в центре, а не GM, может быть, что-то пользовательское, как логотип или другие инициалы.

In Russia there is a SheviKlan community.
- http://www.chevy-clan.ru/
With such an emblem-logo.
Which I carve for the community from mirrored stainless steel.
I have it glued to the rear window-clapper.
For the disc caps, I have already cut out these logos that fit into a diameter of 100 mm

Hello!
Today I have finished my fantasies about "GM".
Plug in the square of the towbar.

I rescued this rotted old trailer from going to the landfill. Some guy was going to throw it away. The wood was rotted:

Nice job. Did he give it to you for free?

Thanks. Yeah, the trailer was free so I didn't skimp when replacing the wood. I got exterior pressure treated deck wood, heavy duty. That way I can leave it outside, uncovered, for a decade and it won't ever rot.

So one of my pet peeves about using ratcheting truck straps in a pickup bed is that there are so few places to hook into. I'm always having to adjust the length of the strap and fiddle with the ratcheting mechanism. I like how the tahoe interior has those little recessed cargo hooks every few inches. So tomorrow I'm going to bolt these metal eye hooks all along each side. That way when I'm tying something down using truck straps, like a motorcycle or riding lawn mower or whatever, there's always somewhere nearby to just hook into and start ratcheting. They were $0.68 each so I just grabbed a bunch of em:

Make sure you tighten the balls out of those eye hooks. Then let trailer sit in the sun and let the wood dry out and tighten them again. As the pt wood dries it shrinks and those hooks will loosen up.
