I’ll have to look at what it is when I get home. The car is clean, and the inside is 10/10. Everything works perfectly and it was religiously maintained etc. it has zero problems to my knowledge, other than old tires that I’m going to change when I get home.

Selman Chevy is the rdp hook up!

In / Out no drama no BS. Jason Holley does a shit load of trucks for the members.

Stacy’s new to her Real Estate Rocket. :)

I figured as much, since he advertises here and all. Honestly surprised you didn't go with an Expedition XL. Nice looking Sub, great color.

:DWait till you drive a new Volvo XC90!
Except the complete lack of cargo when using the 3rd row. And that an adult can actually fit in the 3rd row of a sub....

Pulled the old race numbers out of retirement for rice rd.. Managed to come through unscathed and saw some pretty good entertainment along the way. Lol.

This guy was pulling his master craft on the 10 between 85-90 mph the whole way..

Kinda curious as to what kinda trailer tires he’s running to pull that off for hours in 108 degree weather

Wanted Mexican food so we stopped at el ranchero which was rated 5 stars..

Pro tip for the whettos.. the hot sauce is super hot.. Use the mild on a road trip.. my guts are gurgling already. It’s got a late kick to it so ya don’t know until it’s too late.
what city is that Mexican food in?

We went and test drove the new expeditions..

I thought it was a nice truck but she said it felt “plastic’y” to her like her old expedition. (Damnifino) So we went and test drove Navigators and she liked those.

The white one had all the right options on it (captains chairs in the back / entertainment package etc). It got smashed in the parking lot. (Which I thought was great because we are gonna get a smoking deal on that thing now) Couldn’t get a call back on it.

Preston from horizon was helping us buy a car off the auctions but that became information overload and it was next to impossible to find one with captains chairs in the back.

Stacy got impatient because her mom went back to CA in her old flex.. and Jason had this one that had everything we wanted. He gave us the rdp deal so we bought it.

We have the 3.5 liter 355 hp. Didn't want or need the 420 hp version. We get an honest 22-23 mpg on the highway. And about 17 mpg around LHC. Ours has been excellent. We'll be curious to hear how you guys like yours. We were nearly ready to pull the trigger on an Escalade ESV, then we saw and test drove the Suburban Premier. It works for us.

We had one as a loaner last week as Volvo killed the computer in the wifes S90 doing an update. I drive a Yukon Denali XL. I loved the XC90 other than the lack of space. I told the wife to trade the S90 in.

Looks good! Any plans for it? Jason just took care of me and my girlfriend on our 2019 Satin Steel Metallic Tahoe. Just had my buddy hook it up with MaxTrac 2”/4” drop with Hotchkis front/rear sway bars and 24x10 Helos on 295/35/24 tires. Ride is so nice and smooth. I have done two other Tahoe’s the same, but not with the sway bars and let me say BIG DIFFERENCE!!

I also got a Tahoe from Jason, and within a couple weeks did a 2/4 Drop on 24's with the same size tires...lol

Seems pretty standard...and I agree....the ride is great. But I'm changing it up already. They have coilovers out now for them so I'm adding an adjustable coilover up front, 1" lower in the rear for a total of 3/5" drop to close that gap just a bit more and tighten up the handling a little more.

Yeah Mcgaughys has the coil overs. For me I think 3/5 is too much, but personal preference. The sway bars are well worth the extra $500! It handles so well and very little if any body roll/lean.

I used to eat there all the time. Good food. My wife used to manage that part of that shopping center. We used to have to stop there coming or going so she could meet with tenants, and I’d go eat.

And there is boat parking at the Walmart!

Agreed. We just did my friends Denali a couple weeks ago, it was stupidly easy.

Did yours have the air leveling system?
I need to do something to my wife’s Yukon, but I usually leave air leveling SUV alone.
Need to research the sway bars though.

Congrats! Looks just like ours. Michelle, the kids, and the dog love it. As much as I hate payments I’ll probably be getting here a new one as soon as I’m done paying for this one

You just put a shorter link in for the Autoride sensor when you lower the vehicle.

Question for you goys with big wheels on the Tahoe's. I bought a 2005 4 door Tahoe as our son was almost born. Easier for my wife to drive than our bagged 2004 CC Dually...So we thought. We had the dealer do a small drop and a set of 22's. I cant recall the width of the tires. That thing was a handful. Never felt comfortable in it. Always 2 hands on the wheel. It was darty. Figured it was just something we needed to get used to. Never did though. Got rid of it shortly after. I assume none of you have this issue? All of the ones above are so nice looking that it make me want one.

They need a good alignment, and good wheel balance and tire rotations often.

I don’t know that I’d run bigger than 295 section width tires on them... everyone I know with 305s has weird tire wear issues, and they are all the same weird wear issues.

Looking back now I do wonder if it was an alignment issue.

This is the third Tahoe I have done. All lowered on 24’s. Never had west issues etc. all have ridden very nice. I feel lowering actually improves rose and handling. My 07 had 120,000 miles no issues. Rotate like every 5000 miles.

No this does not have the air level system, but the kit I have is the same kit they just give you the new rods for it. My 07 I did had air leveling and you just put the new rods the kit comes with and it works identical to stock. Towed my 27 Shadow a couple times just fine. Pulled right out of Jack Smith no wheel spin(2wd) on 24’s.

Send me that PM please. Limited upgrades on the boat this year and decided to not upgrade the F350 until tires are due since it takes 6.

Go to Accessory Partners and look up the MaxTrac kit. For the Hotchkis sway bars I went on eBay and found them through a dealer for like $475 shipped. I used the stock shocks. I am going to look at Mcgaughys new shocks they have that are tuned and valves for this specific application.

If you have air leveling, the away bars are not going to make quite as much of a difference. Still worthwhile however.
