Post Pics Of Your Avalanche!

I met a guy in a 2013 Avalanche that looked like it rolled off the Factory Lot. I mentioned to him about the club here on the net . He said he would look into it. I see different AV everywhere here in Nixa. There is enough here to make a nice chapter. But a little unsure how to get started. Or if I would even have permission to do that. Some great looking Avalanches in this club. I plan to keep mine and just repair what happens.
 
its been almost a month and I love my 12 Avi. it eats gas ave 13.5 mpg. it already has an aftermarket muffler on it when i bought it. i want to do a twin outlet on the same side cat back exhaust kit, knight rider light in the grill and an illuminated bow tie on the front grill, red. over the weekend i took her out with my gf with the sunroof open, windows down and the back window out, she fell asleep in the truck with all the air... hahah. did my blue tooth, but i need updated maps for navigation.
 
That is too cool about the GF.. These AV's are great. This is my first one. I plan to do a full restore on it. But a little at a time. Good looking Truck though.

NO after but they can be seen here:
 
Going to post one of these again in the “What did you do…” thread, but putting a few here for posterity.
 
Can’t figure out how to post photos 🤬
That is a spam prevention feature, you need more posts (labelled messages near your profile pic) before photos are an option. Maybe comment on a few photos you see here, or drop into the new members section and say hello.
 
All great pics, folks!

Av's are starting to get scarce. Hang onto them, take care of them and keep them in your family. Imagine what they'll be worth 20+ years down the road? Yep.
 
Just got mine today!

2005 LT with 180k miles, mostly highway. Straight from Arizona up to NY, largely rust free! Needs some basic fluids and plugs changed otherwise fantastic shape.
Nicely bought 👍. Now, buy >2gallons of FluidFilm or Corrosion Proof 3000 or WaxOil (or equivalent) or get to a Krown Rust place, and start slathering that truck in “goo“. Chase the brake lines. Chase the fuel lines. Drill the doors and sills and inject goo. Coat the inner frame, the outer frame and suspension members and box. Ensure that it oozes goo from every orifice when the temperature hits 70o+. And repeat every Fall.

These trucks are worth preserving… or, spend $100K on their replacement 🙄

What does the oil do? I'm a bit of a beginner when it comes to this stuff

If the GMT800 platform has one fundamental weakness, it is in corrosion protection. These trucks rust up here in the Salt Belt. And if your truck (like mine is) is substantially rust free, it makes sense to spend a few hundred bucks a year to drench anywhere FeO2 can start.
