I've been tossing around the idea of consolidating my vehicles down into one for quite a while. I will be picking up a loaded 2004 Buick Rainier CXL AWD this afternoon

RE: Traded in the Bravada!
I'm going to drive it a winter and see how the heated seats treat me. If they're as quick to heat up as the Bravada's were, I won't really need it in the winter, although it would be nice to have it right about now when it's hot outside!
And Bill, I know all about wiring faults due to the clamp over tap tees that get used. There are alternatives for those wires that can cause issues later on down the road.
*EDIT* Oh and Pat, I was down to dad's last night and had a look at what would need to be moved to get it out of the barn. It's burried!! Tarps on the hood & roof. All kinds of junk (gutters, old ripper shanks for our chisel plow, etc) all around it! LOL. Plus a few new dents and scratches that weren't there when I moved it in. But man you can really see where the previous owner had went wild with fiberglass. The car looked great when I was driving it, but almost 10 years under a barn will take it's toll!

I snapped some pics during lunch, but didn't have time to pull them off of the camera. Will get to it this afternoon.
I'm thinkin' of bailing out of work a bit early.

RE: Traded in the Bravada!
Ok Kyle, since this thread is all about your new ride,NO denying a spotin ROTM this time! The newride is super sweet, so tell me that if I nominate your new ride you will participate! How often is it anyway that we have something other than a Blazer or Jimmy in there? Hey, it could generate new interest among some of the members with the TB, Envoy, and all the rest right?
RE: Traded in the Bravada!
I'll participate. Gotta get it all dolled up first, lol! Maybe this weekend I'll give it a proper cleaning and wax job, then whorage!
I am hoping to add quite a bit for those that visit with the newer GMT360/370 platform vehicles.
