As little as possible. I've done a bit of everything...

I have the same job back in Alaska I did a few years ago, I run a food and beverage department for a hotel up here now.

I was in corporate sales from 2012 (when I left AK once I knocked up my wife) until February... paid the bills and fed the kids but I missed Alaska and finally conned my wife to coming back up.

 

Nice progress.. keep us updated!

 

Well I was going to post an update but I guess photobucket finally pulled the plug... Shows how much I live under a rock. My season is finally over up here in Alaska and I guess I can't post pics

The truck got rearended by a _____ with no insurance when my dad was going to Home Depot. It's off to the body shop tomorrow, I sure as hell hope it doesn't total... Hoping it's just a hitch/bumper/bed corner. I don't want to lose the engine and tune then have to find another truck that needs who knows what.

I'll be back in late November and hope to do the fog lights and front bumper... not quite the mod list I used to have

 

Best of luck!!! Hoping they will repair it for you.

 

Carnage Pics... body shop thinks it won't be too bad. Should know early next week for sure.

"The brakes didn't work" ...aka looking at her cell...

As long as the frame isn't tweaked I should be all set to keep it in one piece.

Hoping this is a good sign...

Then once I'm back with the truck after Thanksgiving I'll get a painted front bumper and install the OEM fog light kit I have waiting for it.

 

That's repairable. The ends of the frame rail will likely be pulled down a bit from the bumper brackets. Hell they can likely repair that bedside as well.

New bumper, a new hitch, some paint work and she will be good as new.

 

Literally no modification updates.... just impressed I can keep a vehicle now, I think I've owned more of them then I have pairs of underwear. Kept my 2017 Silverado completely stock (well... wheels/tint/DL3s... no drive train mods, stock exhaust even... ew) for over 2 years too... I guess will power kicks in in your late 30s?

I typically go back home to Atlanta for a month or so in the winter to escape Alaska's cold and darkness, the Sierra does great getting my family around the southeast. We have at least another 3-4 years up here to cash out, once I'm back I'll give this thing the love it deserves... for now it's sit at my in-laws and goes to Kroger once a week




I love the 3.08s... averaged 17.8mpg for the 4k miles I put on it back home


When I left... 284k and still going!
