Wheels are coming at some point, probably after my deployment next year. I had the windows tinted, with explicit directions that the rear hatch be done in one solid piece and that I would be very picky about the overall quality of the job. Needless to say, the shop had to remove the tint because none of my expectations were met...



And, look at how they left my windshield...

Yeah man. I've been lurking on here for years but never had a reason to join. I miss the old white Tahoe, but this is way more fun to drive.
