What did you do to your GMT today?

HARDTRAILZ · Mar 9, 2012

Picked up my shortened and balanced driveshaft. They even greased the ujoint and painted it for me.

Was that a legit argument on who has cooler springs spacers and roof racks?

HARDTRAILZ · Mar 9, 2012

Mines not cool. Just a pile of ideas and experiments under cover as a trail rig.

Regulator · Mar 9, 2012

I will take function over form any day. but it is pretty cool when our rigs look a nice as they do and we can still wheel them.

Ordered led taillights, reverse spider led's from Kevin and headlights for my SS grill install. Pics coming soon :wootwoot::wootwoot:

DJones · Mar 9, 2012

Replaced FR rotor due to "warping" issue. Apparently they need to be "bedded in" or broken in to prevent the problem. I"ll do the other side tomorrow.

jbones · Mar 9, 2012

Yesterday I washer it, and today I drove it in the rain :frown:

Regulator · Mar 9, 2012

I added another, do I qualify as a fleet yet? This makes 4.

STLtrailbSS · Mar 9, 2012

JRTAHOE · Mar 9, 2012

I started doing a little spring cleaning on the TrailBlazer. Only got the cargo carpet done and the driver side done. The seats and other carpet will be done later. Cleaner head liner and all other services. The cleaner and chimes I used did an awesome job

Mark20 · Mar 9, 2012

Can you come over and do mine?

Put air in the tires.

The real question though, wouldn't it be better if you were a bit closer to the ground?

TollKeeper · Mar 10, 2012

Drove it to Cabellas. Bought 2 new handguns, and then went to work..

I must be missing something, cause it would be better up on 40s....

Get some good stuff?

Voymom · Mar 10, 2012

I may bath him inside and out....It's supposed to be really nice out today! I could possibly VHT my lights tonight too? I don't know yet though.

I really don't think those belong in the same sentence.

Today, I started peeling off tar, weird glue-type stuff, and random yellow spots off my paint. Underneath all that junk there is white paint with CHIPS!!! :hissyfit:

jham · Mar 10, 2012

Drove it to taco bell and got the new Doritos taco's wow those things are great

blazinlow89 · Mar 10, 2012

Lets see (from Thursday to Friday)

made new mock up of air intake
replaced t-stat, waterpump, and engine coolant temperature sensor
Installed 4 new drilled and slotted rotors and new pads
fixed some other things

Jham the new taco is freakin awesome, whoever decided to make it has only one down fall, WTF did it take so long to make a Dorito taco.

Steve A · Mar 10, 2012

05 LS EXT:

Engine flush with AMSOIL engine flush, and 7 quarts of signature series oil with a 25k EAO filter

HARDTRAILZ · Mar 10, 2012

Washed the salt and crud off it. Found rust dots all over the paint. Sucks.

Yea, well.. Its what I did!

My wife doesnt seem to think so, of course she doesnt like guns in general..

I bought a Steyr M9A1 and a Purple Sig Saur Mosquito for her..

Was planning on going to the range today, but I went to work at 5 last night, and got off at 7 this morning. All I could think about was a soft pillow..

TexazReece · Mar 10, 2012

Finally made it to the bodyshop inorder to get my 9-7x roof rails & SS grill painted will be ready Tuesday Cant wait to install them
:biggrin:

JRTAHOE · Mar 10, 2012

I finished detailing the inside of the truck and I'm pretty happy with it. Next week will be the exterior when the weather is nice.

I also decided to hide the wire from my ScanGauge II.

Voymom · Mar 10, 2012

Gave the truck a bath just so it can rain tomorrow :hissyfit:

Cleaned inside and out and realized he looks way better dirty lol I have a lot of work to do to get all the badge and molding residue off of the damn thing this spring. Still driving around without my running boards, but I may put my roof rack back on tomorrow or Tuesday.

I dont know how regulator can off road with his black truck, I cry at the looks of minor scratches lol

All clean

STLtrailbSS · Mar 10, 2012

got it all clean and cruised around in my 64 degree weather with the lady friend and ordered some new brighter LED dome lights

Gave them a bath.

Sparky · Mar 10, 2012

I still have some goo left where I pulled off the LS badges on the side. It got cold and froze the goo, now it is warmed up but I'm not sure exactly how to get the stuff off. I've heard that goo gone or goof off works but I've also heard that it is hard on the paint, so... idk

We used goo gone I think, and where we used it on the back for the badge glue it seems the paint is kind of blah and dull. But where I used my finger to just wipe it off the paint looks okay, I just have some stuff that needs to be buffed out. Thankfully you can't see it in pictures lol plus I have glue from where I peeled the pillar plastic off.

Try 3m adhesive remover .

Goo Gone is the first step, you can use a heat gun if its realllyyy badd but it shouldn't be necessary. MOST important use a rubbing compound like Megs Ultimate Polish, M105 , Swirl Remover something with a micro abrasive to get the residue off that gives the paint its dull look.

Well...They proved to be a bit of a PITA for the hubby lol we need new bolts/welds for them, and it will take my husband a while to remember to grab them from work. I probably won't have them until September :frown:
