Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"

Update////

So on Friday I took the day off to get the Suburban aligned and the AC charged. The shop was 3 miles from the house and I planned to take side streets around the lake to get there....Oh yeah I should mention I had not installed my front glass yet.

Late on Thursday, my son and I pulled the Suburban out of the garage (for the first time under its own power) and planned to take it around the neighborhood. A few feet from the house there was a screeching noise from the rear wheel. We came back to home base to make an adjustment. The "roller" rims I'm using have a terrible offset so I was not surprised.

The trip around the hood was uneventful (which was good). I have a friend in the same hood that is putting together a k5 bagged blazer so we though it was only right to take a photo in front of his house to prove we where on the road before he was.

Once I learned that Fridays forecast called for 40 degrees with 90% rain I decided I needed to call an audible and barrow an enclosed trailer. The Suburban got aligned. Between a wedding I was in and a busy holiday weekend I didn't get much time in the garage. I did manage to install the front glass with the help of my boys. I need to re-bleed my brakes before stretching the Suburban's legs a bit more.
