Hey folks. Basics: '06 Shadow Green Automatic - Luxury & Off-Road Packages - 156,000ish miles (highway)

I helped build the prototype vehicles (Pontiac, MI) as an engineer, then lived in Louisiana while we launched the trucks. Because of that, I was able to determine exactly what I wanted on the truck and see it on the assembly line too - built in the first two months of production.... Since then I've put plenty ofl miles on it (especially considering my truck has been parked for about 3 years intermittently) but no serious off-roading time. Seriously, I wasn't about to take my $40K vehicle off-road...but now I would :)

Current projects: Replaced rear leaf spring (unraveled at mounting point) and in process of ordering OEM parts to replaced both Cats (plugged, won't go above 40mph). After that it's for sale - any takers?

It's the best vehicle I've ever owned and I desperately don't want to sell my truck...but other life priorities beckon....

Best.

One other thing..

Before I get skewered for things that could have been designed better... I was in manufacturing - we got paid to build the thing as best we could, but we didn't necessarily design everything...

:no:

Great point - just having a hard time actually realizing I have to sell it... I'll put some pics up and move it to the right thread later this week. I need to do some research but prelim is looking like 14k-ish...not sure with mileage though.
