    ImNoSaint's Tahoe Build

    Jimmy is very altruistic that way, ever since ruining that sheriff's car jumping on it with his golf cleats back in the 70's

    Frame Strength, Who to Believe! The RV Sales Guy or the New Truck Dealer? Maybe Neither?

    Right? Caveat Emptor. I walked into a Chevy dealer about 10 years ago looking at new trucks. I was talking with a salesman, lamenting the fact that it was all buttons now instead of levers and shifters. To test his knowledge and truth, I peered under the truck and said "wow, so they finally...

    Frame Strength, Who to Believe! The RV Sales Guy or the New Truck Dealer? Maybe Neither?

    I once knew a know-it-all who purchased a brand new RAM 1500 crew cab short bed 4x4 expecting that it had the 13,000 lb. Tow capacity that he had seen in the TV ads. The voice-over says top in class tow capacity while showing exactly his truck towing a trailer. Quick cuts. So he bought one to...

    Frame Strength, Who to Believe! The RV Sales Guy or the New Truck Dealer? Maybe Neither?

    Conversely, if you can spend 80 grand on a truck, you can fork over 20 bucks for scale

    Whoops! Out of Juice? ? Call AAA! ?

    Chevy Tahoe had a hybrid version about 10 years ago. Fuel economy gains were minimal and price was a bit steeper than the regular Tahoe. I'm a proponent of plug in hybrid. Why not have more choices and versatility in any single car? I bet if Chevy did a hybrid Tahoe with today's technology...

    2016 Chevy Silverado LTZ Z71

    First truck I ever bought for myself. It was a 90 or 91, Cheyenne 305 ci with a 3 speed manual transmission and a gear lever transaxle with 2, 4hi and 4 lo. Single cab, short bed, manual slide rear window, rollup side windows and I believe a bech seat. Wish I still had it, but just for fun...

    2016 Chevy Silverado LTZ Z71

    Nice build. One that makes the average Joe think "theres something different and beefier but I cant put my fi ger on it." My 2014 GMC Sierra Z71 SLE, over 160k on the odometer. Nowhere near as modded as yours. Took off that front bumper chin strap right away. Kept the side steps for the...

    A girl and a dog get into a 1978 Toyota Dolphin...

    I was brought here by that post above from @Trailboss as it showed up in New posts. Started reading and got drawn in before I realized this was such an old thread. Someone call her and tell her we are wating for (as Paul Harvey used to say)...the rest...of the story.

    Subaru owners: Let's see your expedition rigs!

    Indeed they are. Brought my Beagle along for the 6 thousand mile drive from Boston, to camping in the Badlands, Black Hills, Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Deadwood, Big Sky, Gallatin Gateway for a wedding, Yellowstone, past the Grand Tetons, some more camping in Colorado, then on back home. He was...

    Scanning NOAA Weather Radio?

    There ya go. Cobra 25LTD WX Classic. It's an older one, as you can see by the fact that the mic cord connects to the left side of the unit. Newer ones connect on front of the unit under the SWR meter to give you a little extra reach with the mic. I guess reconfiguring the circuit board was...

    Scanning NOAA Weather Radio?

    Naw, I fried the YD1022 chip in my old model 29 LTD about a year and a half ago outrunning a storm in Nebraska. So when I got home I dug my old Cobra 25 out of the closet. It has weather. Neither of them had Night Watch.

    Scanning NOAA Weather Radio?

    Car and handheld should be different units because when a handheld is in the car its reception is reduced. I have an old Cobra CB with 7 channels of NOAA and it will burst to life with an alert even if I have its power shut off. Then I have a couple handheld Cobra FRS/GMRS radios with NOAA for...

    Subaru owners: Let's see your expedition rigs!

    Nice setup. Is that the dog's blue and green ball I see at the lower right? Quick access so you can throw it first thing after opening the hatch and keep her busy while you unpack!
