So who hear is around the effingham mtvernon area??

what year is your av and done anything nice to it??

 
I have an 02 Av, and I'm in Robinson.  so far the only mods I have done to it are electric fan conversion, and amber drl's. plan on doing a cai soon, and some new shocks.
 
Not exactly there but in Granite City, I do travel to Mt. Vernon area fairly often for my job.
 
Your should be easier to spot with the light mods. I travel all the time and I am guilty of not getting my amber, full time DRL and all on completed. My front bowtie has been off for a month at least.
 
I'm in Southern Indiana, only about 90 minutes or so from Mt. Vernon.  I'm working on a GTG in Evansville, IN for September...as soon as I get something set I'll post it on the Illinois section...maybe y'all could come join us!!

Also, labor day weekend there is a GTG in St. Louis called "Bratfest"...might want to look into that.  Usually a big turnout and a lot of fun!  (y)
 
I will be in Mt. Vernon on Thursday 28th Driving from Columbia Mo. Probably get there around noon at the Hampton. Just a quick meet and greet (MAG)  :wave:
Rest of schedule is Springfield on Tuesday then Columbia Wednesday via Clinton MO.
 
I am from Effingham I just bought mine about two months ago and it is all in pieces now should be back on the road by the Dec 20th I will be easy to spot out!
 
My Brother-in-Law is in West Frankfort. He has a Black '04 WBH with Marine plates and a Marine-logo bowtie, and is running a Flowmaster exhaust :drive:.
 
I am in Spfld Il but dad lives down in West Frankfort so I get to drive the Avalanche down there on occasion.
 
hey speet i too am from spfld il. what do you have? i just recently got a 2002 2500 indigo blue. i think i paid just a little too much for it but i do love it.
 
Hi all I am from the Mattoon/Charleston area, I have an 04 bought it used in 05 and just love it!  It's Cameo  White  and 2wd. Wife had a 2 yr old Caddie when I got the Avy and well guess witch one she likes to drive now.

No longer have the Caddie got a Jeep Wrangler and she still likes the AV, and I get stuck in my 89 GMC PU that I have had forever!

Have had lots of folks ask about the AVY whether I like it or not and my answer is always the same---best vehicle I have ever had, well maybe not my 70 RoadRunner but dang close!

Its in the area go to Effingham some it has 101ABN plates with the 101st decal on the tailgate, honk if ya see me!!!!
 
Welcome to the club IllinoisAVY from Michigan
 
I'm in Belleville and just bought a 2004 1500 WBH. I've only had it for two weeks but already know I'll never get rid of it! I worked in Mattoon last year as a teacher
 
Im down by pinckneyville, i drive a 03 z66. Look for ideas to make it stand out more. Im new to this site also
 
I used to work with a guy from Pickneyville.

You could start with swapping out your DRL's with amber bulbs. I painted my grill the color of the truck. Hell, you have a cladded beast so it already sticks out!
