This is a great truck, I fixed it up for keeps, but realize that I need something more heavy duty for my ranch.

The good:
I put in a set of great BF Goodrich mud terrain tires, which still have plenty of life on them, along with 18"
premium wheels, the truck only has 8552 miles!  Also, I added a great sound system, which includes 4
db Drive Speed series speakers professionally installed in the doors, along with an excellent sub-woofer
of the same series in a custom box under the driver side back seat and also two amplifiers of the same brand, 
each professionally installed under the two front seats.  To go with this system I had a second battery installed 
just for it.  It was set-up so that if you are playing the sound system with the truck of it would only use
this second battery, and not affect the first battery, which is only for the regular use of the truck.  Both
batteries are the Optima blue tops, and are charged with the same alternator.  Also, I had the bed sprayed
with a nice thick layer of Linex bedliner, both on the top and under - around the tire area, and under the doors,
just for additional protection against rust and or body damage.  I also had a Ranch Hand Mini Job toolbox with 
tool holder sprayed with Linex all around installed in the bed.  It is very low profile so that it is not seen from 
behind, yet it has plenty of space and an excellent placement of the lock that prevents anyone from breaking
into it. The front of the truck was also lifted 2.5 inches to match the back and give it a better look.   Also,
I had a couple of 3 step Nerf Step Bars sprayed with Linex and installed to aid with access to the bed
as well as to the cab, because of the lift and the extra height from the tires.  Finally, I had the K&N High 
Performance Air Intake Kit and filter.  Besides, providing more air for the engine and improving its performance,
it gives it a nice purrr every time you push the pedal.

The bad:
I bought the truck with some light damage in the front corner end of the passenger side, had it all repaired with
original factory parts.  The only thing that I did not have installed is the side curtain airbags, so this light sensor
is on.  This truck was planned to be for keeps, so I didn't install this since it already has the two front airbags.  Also,
I did not realized its limited loading and towing capacities and I need something to tow around cattle to and from
my ranch.  i has a little dent under the passenger side rear bumper, not really noticeable, and another really really light
one on the front drivers side white corner panel.  I am selling this truck as is where is.

The truck is currently being used, so mileage may be a bit over what is listed, but not much.

2015 Chevy Tahoe gets Police Patrol Vehicle treatment

Thu, 07 Nov 2013

That was fast. Mere days after showing a Police Concept based on the 2015 Tahoe at the SEMA Show, Chevrolet has announced that it will build a PPV model based on the SUV to do battle with the Ford Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer) and Dodge Durango Special Service.
You'll recall that the Tahoe has been police staple for several years, predating both the Explorer and Durango police variants, so the fact that the new model would spawn a police variant is hardly surprising. Like the civilian model, the 2015 PPV benefits from a more efficient 5.3-liter, direct-injection V8 that pumps out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It also features more high-strength steel, offering better crash protection, on top of optional safety items like lane departure warning, forward collision alert and a Safety Alert Seat.
The press release is rather light on police-specific items, aside from the auxiliary battery, which keeps the myriad of electronics in a modern police car running even when the engine isn't. Lightbars, 17-inch steel wheels on Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires and a push bar round out the mods for the Tahoe PPV. The cabin features a revised center console and room for laptop and other equipment mounts.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]

Mon, 27 May 2013

If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.
