Yo!
First off, I have been a member of Trailvoy with the same Screen Name since 2006 or so.
When I have an issue I always browse TrailVoy first. Now that I have found GMTnation, I will search here first. I have read that there is some controversy between the two sites, but regardless of the issue, I am very appreciative of the members of both sites that have helped me with my past TB issues.
With that said. I am a guy that was born, raised and currently in Sanford, FL which is 35 min NE of Orlando.
I don't care much about the Hot weather, but love the Mud!
My Wife and I take the TB to a campsite in Holopaw, FL a couple times a year since 2007 and usually sleep in it with a Blow-up Mattress. I have only gotten stuck a couple of times due to body clearance being so low. The longest Trip we took in it was to Key West for our Wedding...with no issues after having to replace the PS pump three days before!
I originally bought the TB for the perfect balance of features I wanted for a Truck, but not being too big for my Wife to drive.
Since then, I have learned that I cannot lift the damn thing more than 2" safely.
I have replaced the Airbag Module, Power Steering, Thermostat, ECT, Blower Switch Resister Pack...that's all of the big stuff without listing wear/maintenance items.
Overall, I have been fairly satisfied with the TB, except for the $800 AirBag Module replacement a month after buying the vehicle in 2006 & MPG. Yeah, it is 15-18MPG as it's listed, but can't complain too much because I love the Torque the I-6 has.
I take pride in my work and generally do not trust Mechanics as a whole...no offense to the good ones out there.
I've done all of my Replacements and Maintenance myself, except for the Trans Fluid and Turning the Rear Rotors.
Sure it takes more time to do it myself, but I know that whatever is done, is done right.
I would like to do mods to it in the near future as long as I have the money to spend. As all of us know the Economy hasn't been kind to a lot of us, I fell into the 1 income 2 person family, soon to be 3 with our son due in Nov 2012. My wife recently found the job she went to College for! That means I get to dream about Mods again!
Again, much appreciation to all of those who have helped me in the Past Present and Future!
