chickened out????? :rotfl: DOOO ITTTT mang!!!

and i'll be doing my rims.. just not "murdered" style... they make a Smoke color plasti Dip.. more or less grey to gun metal grey... when i can get that, then i'll do my rims... the black just doesnt look right on the imperial blue metalic.. IMO at least... i've emailed some companies that make the special colors.. still waiting to hear back...

thats one of the first things i thought of for the beaSSt.. i know the regular TB's dont have the grilles like we SSS folks do... but i also did it because my hitch was a little rusty as well... now its all nice and new again...

where the hell was i at when this s#!+ came out on the market.. i wouldve done this years ago...

Just a simple one today, installed a Stant 10511 locking fuel cap. Since I've recently become that guy that hassles the teenage neighbors for going past my house at 3 times the speed limit, I figured better safe than sorry

I sold the destroyed radiator and condenser and front sway bar from the totaled trailblazer to a metal salvage yard for 27 dollars. I then went to one of the local u pull it salvage yards and picked up a full set of the interior lights from on 02 and the center lights from an 05 for 11 dollars. not a bad day at all.
