Those trucks do look pretty good.

I already have a 2008 Silverado 1500. Just haven't towed lately.

I wouldn't get another truck unless it has the ability to tow the car, so yes, that was one of the criteria. :-)

It has to many miles (353,000) for me to trust it for back country trails, so I want to get something more reliable and capable. Google "Trailhawk" and "Moab" to see how capable it is. It is impressive. The one I've ordered looks like the one below.

Congrats!

Dead quiet in here the past week.

I have a metric sh1t-ton of work to get done this weekend. I'm off to Blizzcon on Wednesday (Metallica wut?), and I get back in late Sunday night. My track day is down at VIR the Tuesday immediately after, so I need to head out early Monday morning to get there in time to meet my friends and tech in.

Which means everything has to be done before Wednesday, which includes swapping on my stainless steel lines and flushing the fluid, along with an oil change. Plus, I need to pack all my tools/clothes/everything else up for the track, charge all my GoPro batteries, etc etc...

Bleh.

Oh... an extre 204.6 lbs of sh!t.

Sounds like great fun in store for you this weekend. I, on the otherhand, have honey do's. But, since it's supposed to be raining all day tomorrow anyway, I think the Z will just stay in the garage and I can do some cleanup in the house. Wheeeee!

I've been doing house stuff up the wazoo lately. Painted and refinished my downstairs bathroom, installed a new dishwasher, fixed my bedroom ceiling fan. I've been a busy boy.

Ooo. You are much more industrious than I. The most I have done in the last month is the dishes, take out the garbage, and get rid of the dead rat stinking up the garage.

I'm planning on sealing my driveway concrete at some point in the near future.

jpkirk · 11-01-2014, 03:19 PM

Bedroom fan fixed (receiver was junk, but another problem was a lack of dimmable lights). New LEDs and a new receiver and all is well.

Oil changed on the truck (don't even need to lift that thing lol. Just squirm under it.).

Tomorrow, change the oil and brake fluid in the Vette, and throw on my blank front rotors.

Mr. VTAK...

whats up bro?

MightyBobo · 11-02-2014, 10:25 PM

Weather was awful - windy and cold. Garage pays off yet again. Swapped the rotors and brake lines on within a few hours. Those clips that hold the soft lines to the brackets where the hard lines connect are my nemesis. I absolutely detest them...

Still need to get the new fluid in there yet, but that'll be tomorrow or Tuesday. I have a power bleeder so it shouldn't take 30 minutes...
