This is the perfect 4x4 SUV for just about anything. It has the power to tow, the factory off road package, and room inside for 5 adults to sit comfortably. I bought this truck last June when I sold my pickup so I could tow my Waverunners and make the occasional trips to Home Depot. The truck served it function well, but I have decided to start a lawn care business on the side and will need another pickup, so the Tahoe must go. I bought this truck intended to fully restore it, and it is the perfect truck to do this with because of it being a Florida truck with none of the typical northern rust. I have done some of the work, which I will list below, but there is some remaining. I am offering this at No Reserve, so it should be a great deal, especially for those of you up north still requiring 4WD. I have Clear Title in hand.

Overall mechanical condition of the truck is good. Brand New Transfer Case Motor, 4WD Selector Switch, Idler and Pitman Steering Arms, A/C Belt Tensioner and Belt, and Transmission Flush. Additionally my mechanic replaced the rear main engine seal as it developed a slight oil leak. The truck now has no leaks. The only items identified by my mechanic to replace that have not been done are Front Struts, followed by an alignment and front tires. The truck currently pulls slightly right, and has worn out the front tires because of this. Additionally the rear wiper is not working. Other than that everything is in good mechanical condition.

Cosmetically the truck is clean, but still needs some TLC to be perfect. The good news is there is no rust on this truck aside from where the paint is missing on the rear bumper. The underside and engine bay are amazingly clean for a 12 year old truck. The exterior has some dents which are shown in the pictures, and it needs a paint job. The passenger side rear cap for the luggage rack is missing as well. The alloy wheels show some cracking in the clear coat (cosmetic only).

The interior restoration was begun by me. I replaced all the carpet with better than OEM material. The rear seats were replaced because of problems with the folding mechanism on the old ones. The new ones fold and stow as designed. The dash was completely removed and striped, and then repainted, so none of the typical peeling paint on the dash that is typical with these trucks. The front seats still need to be replaced (although the do operate properly) and some of the rear cargo trim. The headliner is beginning to sag as well. All of the windows work properly as well. Cruise control works. A/C blows cold.

The stereo was replaced with a new Kenwood CD Player with USB and Aux inputs on the front. It has a remote control as well. I bypassed the factory amplifier as it wasn't working (common problem in these trucks), so the head unit powers all of the speakers now.

Corvette Z06 and Viper TA square off at the strip

Wed, Jan 21 2015

There are many long-standing grudge matches among automobiles: 911 vs GT-R, Mustang vs Camaro, Ferrari vs Lamborghini... but as far as high-end American metal goes, it doesn't get much more legendary than Viper vs 'Vette. So after Chevy released the new Corvette Z06, we knew it was only a matter of time before it would have to square off against the Viper TA. And what better place to pit these two parallel pillars of American performance than on the drag strip? Fortunately that's just what we have here. In one corner, the 2014 Dodge Viper TA, with its 8.4-liter V10 pumping out 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque. In the other, the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, the supercharger on its 6.2-liter V8 more than making up for the discrepancy in displacement and cylinder count to produce 650 hp and just as much torque. But numbers don't tell the whole story, so watch the video clip to see which reaches the end of the quarter-mile first.

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.

Travis Kvapil tells Twitter his Sprint Cup car was stolen

Fri, Feb 27 2015

There's a bizarre story coming out of Atlanta today, as NASCAR racer Travis Kvapil is reporting that his Sprint Cup Car was stolen from a lot at the Drury Inn in Morrow, GA. Kvapil announced the theft, which included the black pickup that was hauling the trailer and the #44 Chevrolet SS Sprint Cup Car – shown above, with driver JJ Yeley at the wheel Â– on Twitter. According to Kvapil, the car wasn't going to be ready for the Thursday test session at Atlanta Motor Speedway, although forecasts of snow forced the team to dispatch their main trailer and tools to the track ahead of the car, which left for Atlanta later yesterday. According to ESPN, police in Morrow have video of the "incident," which happened at 5:34 AM Friday, with police investigating it as as criminal in nature. "Sometimes what happens when thieves see trailers, they might just assume there's something in the trailer they can go off and sell," Sgt. Larry Oglesby, of the Morrow PD, told USA Today. "Sometimes when things like this occur, they will drop off the items in a parking lot somewhere Â– like a Walmart parking lot Â– once they realize what they have." "All we know is it was a silver jeep," team owner John Cohen told USA Today. "One guy got out and they pulled off together." Earlier, Cohen told ESPN that the theft will force the team out of this weekend's race at the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500, at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Kvapil, meanwhile, has taken to Twitter to appeal to his followers to be on the lookout for the truck, trailer and race car. Here's hoping it turns up all together. Check out the driver's tweets, below. Wow. Anyone near Atlanta find my stolen Cup car let me know! Unreal - Travis Kvapil (@TravisKvapil) February 27, 2015 I bet when whoever has it, opens the trailer and is going to be like 'oh snap' - Travis Kvapil (@TravisKvapil) February 27, 2015 Ok, to clarify. @Teamxtreme44 transporter is @amsupdates. The guys stayed and worked on the car Thursday at the shop in NC. They drove.... - Travis Kvapil (@TravisKvapil) February 27, 2015 down last night in a Ford dually and enclosed trailer with racecar inside. That was stolen out of hotel parking lot this am in Morrow, GA - Travis Kvapil (@TravisKvapil) February 27, 2015 Black Ford dually, white enclosed tag behind trailer. New Jersey plates - Travis Kvapil (@TravisKvapil) February 27, 2015 Dang.... I'm wishing we had LoJack or something on it!
