Whatever happend to.....? (GMTN Alumni)

[07TrailyLS]

So this is way out in left field. I’ve been on this site since mid 2013 I believe and I was just curious whatever happend to “the roadie”. That dude had so many informative posts it’s astounding. Did he just sell his envoy and move on like most?

 

[Reprise]

Mooseman mentioned a few weeks earlier that it looks like Roadie is retired and off the beaten path these days.
No word on whether he still has the Voy (although I bet he does...just a hunch.)

 

[Mounce]

Last I heard he still has the voy, just his main interests have changed and he's moved on to other things that interest him. He's really into Space-X does photography and stuff at launches. At least that's the best I remember from when he told us himself why he's mia now.

 

[07TrailyLS]

Great to know guys thanks. It just peaked my curiosity as of late.

 

[djthumper]

The last time I talked to him he still has the Envoy. As stated, since his retirement in real life he is doing a lot of stuff with SpaceX and their launches.

I agree. I was curious what had come of the legend. We should have a 'Where are they now' section for the legends who are MIA.

Now does anyone know what @MAY03LT is up to?

 

[djthumper]

The last I heard he got busy with his own shop and life. That has been quite some time ago.

He runs his own shop, occasionally posts videos on YouTube.

Yep. Just saw his latest on throttle body cleaning on later full size trucks.

Life changes, People change, people move on. Good idea on the thread. I'll modify and sticky this one and see if it catches on.

 

[Capote]

He sure left an imprint and got people to check out the forum.

Good thing I never tried cleaning the throttle body on my Silverado yet with the assumption it was like the 360 on the relearn. I knew something was up because I've seen so many reports of weird running for a while after people have cleaned theirs (eventually it does usually figure itself out) but I just didn't want to risk it until I knew more. Bingo, now I know.

Leaving that sucker alone!

@dmanns67 disappeared with out a trace. I remember him being here when I got sent over this way by @MAY03LT.

 

[Mooseman]

I remember a bunch of them, even founders of the site like @Ghoster. @Regulator , @Denali n DOO and @fishsticks also come to mind. And no, fishsticks wasn't banned, that's just his avatar because he got banned on TrailVoy.

I remember him too as well as @CaptainKD.

 

[Sparky]

I know @Regulator still has his Voy. He's just not active on forums much these days.

I do miss the old crew bouncing around though.

Yes the Captain lots of laughs back in the day. The old post whore thread.

Very good times, it was a mad house lol. I remember posts would be flowing so fast, you'd think it was instant messaging.

 

[smt 59]

24/7 as well, but we did get our numbers up though.

 

[Mooseman]

I do miss Roadie with his smart ass answers and snarky remarks.

Sure did! Loved the videos as they were informative without being boring or dull!

Even now whenever I go through old posts i really enjoy Roadies posts

It seems that some of us just text or call more these days rather than going on the forums. I talked and texted with two members this weekend. All of us have newer kids though and computer time just dont seem to fit between them and vehicle work.

Most of the FL members who used to come to all our meets between Tampa and Orlando have retired from the forum for various reasons, but are still around offline from time to time. Everybody is busy with families, home owner stuff, newer vehicles and life in general, so getting online, or getting together for meets isn't as easy as it used to be.

Not only do I wonder what happened to old members but I wonder what happened to their rides. There are some sweet 360's on this site and I wonder if those older members that disappear, is it because they sold their 360's or maybe they still have them but don't want to be involved in the GMT community anymore.

I would love to see if @-DouG- did any more cool mods to his Envoy "Daisy". He hasn't been around since Feb of '16 but I really like the things he did to his 'Voy.

 

[Mooseman]

One member I just remembered was very active and then, poof, gone. @Voymom

31 messages he was not here for long, his last post was 2015 and last visit 2016.

She is around but kind of got run off from the forums for some reason.

Last I've gathered from videos MAY03LT is back to being employed by someone and has been for a while, nothing wrong there and from what he's said he's making out well now. One of his recent videos he went over the flat rate system at the end and he's got it down to a science lol.

Just talked to dmanns a few weeks ago on Instagram, he's got a new job and moved states, just doesn't have time to come around like he used to, didn't mention any hard feelings.

How about @Sib? Haven't heard from him in a long while, been meaning to text him but have never gotten around to it.

Roadie had pretty much moved on by the time I got here, but I came across one of his posts a few weeks back that I wanted to start a thread on (and will, soon.)

May03LT provided a ton of knowledge w/ his YT vids (and I think they referenced GMTN to me, as they did for others.) I'd still be looking for info via 'the old site', if it weren't for that.

Same! Although those of us still here are a great folk and I would hate it if you guys turned into 'legends'

I believe the entire staff right now are all part of the early members of the site.

I'm waiting on a new throttle body. It should be here Monday. Thanks for the offer. I'm in bad shape. I think my cancer fight might be about over. My wife's brother is going to help my daughter install it. Witch is a good thing. He's a lot better with electrical stuff than me.

Don't know the man,while lurking I ran into this post from stormsurge. Reading "I think my cancer fight might be about over" and seeing this was his last post here,gave me the chills Did he pass?

Looks like he last logged in 4 months after that post. I didn't know him personally, so I can't say. Hopefully that's not the case, and he just moved on from the site.

DUDE! Where ya been?

Yeah, book of faces stuff gets lost quickly though. And for some reason most of the GMT group page stuff stopped showing on my feed. Stupid facebook algorithms.

As Hardtrailz said, most of us just communicate via phones or facebook. Still talk to 90% of the people listed in this thread lol. The good ole days were good. Most of us still get together every so often, usually atleast once a year in some aspect or another. Definitely made some life long friends here.

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

The Hatchetman appears....

 

[Hatchet]

I'm always around. I usually lurk around on my lunch breaks to see whats new and going on.

 

[Sparky]

Hatchet watches from the shadows...

Sounds like some sort of horror movie
