🔧 BUILD Jeff's 2005 Jew Canoe - 2005 2wd 5.3 EscaLAAAADE

Wifey found some power recliner couches a friend was dumping cheap AF.

So this morning I was a luxury furniture transport!

Had to work on a neighbors trailer last night, so pulled her into the lawn... Then when I went to put it back in the drive the inner nerd said to take these pics.

Someone needs to kick your ass for the way your treating that car in the garage. Just piling shit on top of it and in no time it will be buried.
Do me a favor and sell it to me for $5k. I'll actually do something with it

It's all the parts for the car! On a moving blanket and they're all plastics ?

Need the space and time to take her to the next phase ?

It needs a fuckin final wet sand lol. But I've known that, and I'm okay with it.

 

[daturbosix]

Just cuz it looked cool doin it

 

[daturbosix]

Couple weeks late. But the Jew canoe got smacked with half a tree that fell across my driveway. Don't worry, the hatch took the blunt of it.

I'll post pics of that bullshit tomorrow.

But my papi upgraded from his shitbox 98 Cherokee a day before he left to Colorado for the week..

It's petty spicy and better now!
(Yeah I've already lowered it, and had some toon work done)

Anything else damaged ?
That's a big fn tree

The d-pillars, bumper cover, bumper step, the entire aluminum hatch, top trim and full width led 3rd brake light.

The hinge or mount are is also bent, cuz the hatch needs to be shoved to the right to latch.

This is what happens when you try to throw your nut sack over a tree limb?

It sacrificed itself to save your wife’s car, that’s a bummer, assuming your going to take the insurance money and fix it back up yourself

Already got the bumper "fixed" and bought replacement dpillar trim pieces in diamond white.. grabbed a piece of Tahoe glass to seal her up until I find a non rotted diamond white hatch assembly....

That's a pretty good near miss. My Civic got taken out by a limb like that right down the middle.

Is the Wilson mag mount antenna and coax undamaged? At least it looks like a Wilson 500 or 1000.

No damage. And I had just put that on end of day this happened.

Like the tree snapped and fell at 430am on 5/25. I slapped the antenna on 5/24 @ 7pm with plans of finishing my install later... But now I'm waiting.

Oh good. What rig are you going to use in the Caddy? FYI, if it is not already tuned I have a RigExpert Stick Pro analyzer that we can slap on it, to see exactly where it is tuned, and if it needs adjustment.

Galaxy dx99v dome by chip, years ago. I forgot what it talks at though. Lol

I have everything you would need to find out. Analyzers, inline meters, dummy load to test RF power, etc.

Somewhere, and I'll be damned if I know where, I should have a Texas Star 500 linear, which is you know, for 10m, not 11m CB.

the dx99 is a 10m, right. i dont need a linear lol.

Yeah, 10m opened up to talk on 11 as well. Might even go down to 12m. It's a 10w (AM) rig, so even with your Wilson I wouldn't expect the best range out of it, maybe a couple of miles. Way too much crap on CB right now, every channel is a cesspool.

Damn dude, fight that payout number to maximize mod money.


I was just thinking about this thing in my hunt for a gmt800 2wd burb
