Pennfold and Mab
I'm at 174th and Blondo. I also have a neighbor with a 2003 Pewter Avy. We talked about the site and getting a meet together for the local Av owner's.
Anytime you all want to meet give me a call 880-1402.
Hey jfgranger, what did you mean by this - you work Saturdays, are you out puttin' miles on the Av or what? Just curious, as I'd like to suggest Sortino's on Aug. 30th. Would you be available?
How about the rest of the Omaha bunch? J. Sortino's, 6:00 pm on the 30th? I know that's Labor Day weekend - will this work or not? I'd like to do it perhaps sooner, but we've already got plans for the weekend of 23-24th. If Labor Day weekend won't work, any other suggestions?
Hey Sean, don't cry too much, you might rust your Av! (oh yeah, I forgot - you Navy guys are supposed to be experts at scraping rust ) Besides, if that date won't work for a few of us we can choose another date - perhaps the following Saturday. Let's see what works best for the gang!
I was just checking on painting my AV Grey and putting big white numbers on the side. I miss being out to sea so much...NOT!!! Why do think I'm in Nebraska?
Speaking of rust Mark. What's the best way to prep for the winter here? This will be my first "real" winter.
The best mod for your AV in Nebraska is a heated garage!
Otherwise a good coat of paint protectant, and wash the salt off the truck as soon as you can. I also try to hit a "brushless" car wash 1 time a week and get the under carriage wash option. Keeping the salt and crap off is key.
I'm a clean freak anyway so I suspect I will be going crazy. during the winter. Luckily I have a garage. Do you ever switch oil weights? Are block heaters a must if you leave it outside? I still have to worry about my other truck.
hey, Dblegle. Do you have the Z-71 graphics like ChevyThunder or are they the mountain graphics?
I saw a white z-71 with the mountain graphics and nerf bars in my parking garage the other day.
CT, I have never had to worry about oil weights or block heaters (although the block heater would be nice)
It never realllllly gets that cold for more than a couple of days at a time.
If you really are concerned about the cold, pick up a remote start. And make sure you start the trucks every day or every othe day, just to keep the battery good.
But the important thing is keep the salt and crap off of it as much as possible.
