Started this thread almost 3 years ago, won't be having any gatherings until we get out of the teens and 20's. Probably have the first one of the year when the temps stay in the 40's & 50's, I hope soon.

The lift is an ATLAS TD6MR, purchased 20 years ago, cost then $1195, I'm seeing mid $2000's now. Works best if in a 4" deep pit. If no pit available, then works well with 2 x 12's doubled.

I think we're all waiting for warmer weather, even here in S Florida coldest winter I can remember had to use heat in the car which in the last 14 years owning the car never used.

We all love your parties, it's nice to have lot of friends.

Default Balmy weather!

Here in Canuckistan today it warmed to 28f. Time to say hello to my hibernating girlfriend and throw on my new shifter **** (auto). Ten minute job and it looks very nice.

edit: sorry wrong thread, meant to be in thread “what did you do to your c5 today?”

Busy weekend! Changed oil & filter, trans and differential fluids. Installed skip shift eliminator while under there. Then pulled the dash out to replace blend door actuators. Still need to put in new stereo before I button it back up.

Did some minior changes to my vehicle, like you know changed oil and filter, although i plan something bigger to make. Or maybe i would say that there may be some other changes to make like for example buying new wheel and tire and rim shop https://level4x4.com/ or tires for better control and image of the car. But still i think you have done significant job

Finally got the new Alpine double DIN stereo all buttoned up and installed the MGW shifter. Everything is working perfectly. Just need to finish hooking up the backup camera.
