I picked up my trailer the other day and this thing is huge! It is 8.5ft x 28ft with a 4ft extended tongue. Dry weight of trailer is right at 4,000 lbs and maximum weight is 10,000 lbs. So I can haul up to 6,000 lbs inside of it. I ended up with a Prodigy P3 brake controller and it seems to work great. I still need to buy a weight distributing hitch and some slide on towing mirrors. I am using borrowed ones right now. I had no problems at all pulling this trailer with my truck. Only issue I had was getting the trailer wheels to clear curbs. lol Here are some pics.
Oh and I had to mess around and throw my parents Colorado in it the other day.
Nice trailer and truck!
Just yesterday I was helping my friend pack up his sandrail too yamahaa vmax's and loads and loads of stuff into that same type trailer! The Box used to be on a ryder truck and was taken off and put on dual 7,000lbs axles. Think he paid $4,000. His is a little taller though.
Long story short we took his Diesel Excursion and trailer to the scales and together they weighed almost 24,600lbs. Just the trailer (still connected) wieghd 12,500lbs...He picked up and left form Cali to move to Indiana.

Hey guys, with a tempature of 78degs my 2006 ran a 9.83 @ 73.5 mph.
all ive got is a K&N intake, replacement flowmaster, and a blackbear tune.
im running 295/70/17's on stock alloy wheels.
i was just wondering how this compares to other sss or vortec max's?
thanks guys
I think you should be quicker especially with a tune. Completely stock I ran a 9.64 @ 73.52 mph on 20 inch wheels.
I ran alot of Hemi's and I was quicker every time.

No need to thank me man...Pat yourself on the back! You are on the right track owning your own piece of land. Especially being in your early 20's! So stoked for you...Great Job!

Sweet low light shots!

Rob!!!!! Good work work man! So happy for you brotha..Sure is nice having you own driveway and a gate to put the SS behind! Shiiiiit.....Fire place, Patio, Detach Garage...Hell yeah!

My truck started to crack a week after I picked it up. I've used Lexol and the Nano (not together) with mixed results. I've noticed that between the creases and cracks in the leather the paint has started to come up and I think its due to the leather cleaner and conditioner. The reason I think that is the 2005 YukonXL I purchased with 23,000 miles on it showed almost no wear and had minimal creases in the seats. So I thought hhmmmm I will treat the seats to keep them nice. Well sure enough the paint in the cracks in the driver side seat started to come up. The cracks now look dirty at a glance. I will be using warm water just to wipe off the seats from know on. They say they need conditoner but my seats look like shit.
Heres what my truck looks like. 30,000miles

looks good Josh!!! i'v always liked that color, looks good. again congrats on ur twins, when is the wifey due???
-Rob
Thanks Rob. She's due Aug 12th BUT I think they will be here soone then that...
Bermuda Blue. My Wifes Tahoe is the same color. People ask me all the time if i painted it a custom color. She btw is riding on my Stock SS chrome 20's. She nailed a curb on the Dub 22's and pop'd 2 tires on the right side and cry'd .....ALOT. She did good tho with her car. Had it for 4 years and not even ONE scratch. Grats on the twins..... GL with that lolEric
Bermuda Blue huh...Thank's
Nice ride! When my wife was pregnant she had a Nissan Altima. I got rid of that quick and purchased a Yukon XL in pewter. I love her truck! I love driving and riding in it because it rides nothing like my SSS. As a matter of fact, I'm going to be putting my truck up for sale soon because it's her turn for a new ride and was thinking of getting her either a Escalade ESV or the LS Lexus. The Yukon will become mine.
Thank's Alex..Yeah I love the way it rides too alot..For some reason my driving is so much more relaxed in that thing. I love driving it like a grandma! LOL....My truck might be going soon to. I've been saying that for awhile now but it look's like it might be the right thing to do for now. Theose ESV are sick..I would def go with that!
-
LOVE the color.
but i can assure you it is not the indigo blue, bc i have an indigo blue and it is far from looking that good.
Really? I thought it was Mid Night blue Pearl. LOL does anybody know the name?
-
Very nice truck! how much did u pick it up for?
Thanks, I think I got a pretty good deal I paid 18,500
I've got the same thing, just not the XL. I actually like the 5.3.very clean ride
I agree I wanted the 6.0 but I'm just towing jetskis so the 5.3 will do fine!
love the colorYou don't see to many in this color...

Picked up a 2005 YukonXl as the new family wagon considering the misses is about to pop with or 3rd and 4th kid's (twin's)! It's a super clean SLT with only 23,000 miles. Love the color. Depending on your angle it looks blue green or purple. I think it's called Indigo Blue Metallic. It was really bright out so the color looks dark blue sorry for the lame quality.
I was worried about the 5.3 being under powered but I must say that she has just enough power to get up and go and actually drives like caddy. Shifts smoooth and rides nice compared to my 4x4 VMax!

Lakers FTW!!!

i still owe about 18,XXX, got it new July of 06 for 42K wit taxes and all the bs they add to the sticker and put down 4K. the guy that went to go pick it up at the other dealer said he had never seen an SS or any other pick with so many option, lol "looks like you got all the bells ad whistles!" that always seemed funny to me. i know a lot of guys paid a lot less for their 06's but i love mine and it's worth every single penny to me!!!
lol!!! looks like we got them at the same time and capitalized on the same deal!!!
-Rob
LOL yes we did. Bought mine from Martin Chevy it also had a 42k sticker. Paid 35k OTD though. But mines no SS.
-
It's not an SS however I owe around 18k bought new in July 06. The 0% apr helps big time. I paid $35k...$495 a month for 6 years

We have 2 1998 Kawasaki 1100zxi's 2 seaters that were bought new in 98. We have had absolutey 0 problems and we run them in salt water! In fact we just changed out the original battery from 11 years ago! They run 62-63 mph stock and are 3cylnder 2stroke. I love the aggressive handling of the 2seater Kawasaki. If you looking for comfort and stability then I would go 3 seater.
I heard some horror stories about Honda though. Could be why they still have old new stock from 04.

I just changed the spark plugs on my SS with this ones>>>>
I was wondering if any of you guys have used them or even heard of them B4.
One thing I know for sure is that my SS is burnin' gas like crazy,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I'm only getting like
13.6 on my DIC...(digital info center) but it actually runs pretty good...
let me know if you guys know anything about this plugSS,.,.,.,.,.,,.....
Thanks>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
They tested those on Horsepower Tv they said it was a more efficient plug but let us how it works out. BTW Im gettin 9.7mpg according to my DIC. I would be happy if I could muster a 13mpg.

LMAO... I love the names they come up for this crap... same song and dance, different name. I bet they told you you'd "never need to wax your paint again" too right?
Complete and utter BS... the stuff is nothing more than a synthetic sealant, something you could buy and apply on your own for $25-$30 and an hour in the garage. As for the durability don't be fooled. It breaks down just like anything else and leaves your paint exposed. The best sealants I have won't last much more than 4-6 months on a car that sees regular environmental exposure.
The false sense of security people have with this shit is laughable. I've had so many cars come to me where the owner is shocked how bad their paint looked b/c "I paid extra for the dealer to put that protective coating on the paint when I bought it" and of course they haven't waxed it in 2 years. Don't waste your money on this scam.
Tell us how you really feel....lol. I'm not an advocate of this stuff nor have I ever seen it.
Dylan might be absolutely right about Ming considering his seen these types of products first hand and has been auto detailing for a while. I was wondering about this product myself a couple of years ago.
Dylan: My question would be does a syntehtic sealent stand up to a conventional clay bar wax and buff?
Is a sealent even worth the 25-30 bucks from autozone?

Was it yours?

Couple of question's.
First why do you think he is doing this to you?
How many hours a week do your work?
Are you going over your scheduled shift by a couple minutes a day?
I've seen this happen to so called part timers before. Anything over 8hrs a day is o.t.
Also if your hitting 40hrs a week and if that company offers benefits to it's full time employees then you too would also qualify part time or not. Unless the job is considered seasonal such as the one I had 8 years loading trucks as a teamster. Even though I sometimes worked 70hrs a week I received no benefits or o.t because the job was considered seasonal. Only 6 months out of the years.
What he is doing to you is a slap in the face. I think you should get a copy of you time cards and then confront him. Let him know you will be filing a grievance through the employer against him and also a wage claim with the states Labor Commissioner just like bad ass silvy said! After all that if he fires you or lay's you off and you think its in retaliation then file a complaint with the E.E.O.C for retaliation. They don't mess around.
Wage Claim Unauthorized Deductions
Equal Employment Opportunity Comission
BTW if he doesnt want to pay you when you go over your shift by a couple of minutes then drop what your doing no matter what when you shift is supposed to be over. 5 mins till or whatever.

Ive never seen it myself but a friend of mine said his boss minged his red silverado and it looked great and nothing that dirt and grim would rinse off really easy.

It's like that now huh....lol What cam?Sounds tuff man.....Nothin like a lopin chevy!

This guy contacted me at 1am on my Blackberry thru AIM trying to get me to go to the last meet. I ignored his later messages because I told him I wasnt gonna make it.
Took me 10min to get through g2g thread to figure out what happened with that robin dude.
I must say I have more questions than answers. What exactly was he doing? I heard mention of poopoo and crack lol. Come on guy's was he smokin weed, chasing the dragon, snortn a gager? Did he num 2 behind a can? Why is everybody skating around what went down?
