I bought this on the 26th to replace my S10 im gonna lower it but not right away iv'e only driven it about 80 miles due to a POS A/C Delco battery.

Since iv'e had two that have leaked acid out of the pos. terminal i planed on swaping it out with the Optima that's in the S10 and there's evidence that this has happened once on this truck cuz the inner fender well has paint missing and rust from where bat. acid has leaked from the pos terminal.

Anyways i go to swap out the bat's and the pos. term. on the hoe is sooooo tight it wont break loose so i really giver a crank and the pos attach lug in the bat housing snaps off so now the bat is really no good now.

So i get the terminals apart and find that when the first bat leaked who ever put the new bat in didn't clean the acid out of the terminals and they corroded to the point where the bolt was frozen.

I found the truck on Ebay as you can see and i went to look at it in person and got it so besides the battery thing the truck is very nice and i cant wait to start driving it.

Very very cool my friend...that looks sweet, and will look even better lowered!

Can't wait to see how it turns out.

No, he got damn lucky there, 2 door tahoes go for a ton of money and being that its a 99 its even more expencive, and it also has under 100,000 he got a smokin deal on it.

No doubt. That wouldn't sell for under 12k around here. Nice find.

Im bettin a 2 door 99 around here would actually sell for closer to 16

r0lf- · 05-04-2004, 05:11 PM

Dang! What a find! I would love to have a 4/6 on a 2wd 2 door hoe!

What a killer price too. Those would easily go for around 15k here.

87 STEPPER · 05-04-2004, 07:05 PM

Well i don't think i'll go topless and i think everyone is under the wrong impression that i got it for 6900 i didn't even bid on it i got it off line in person and i still stole it from the guy for 8400 and you guy's are right about them going for over 15k iv'e been lookin for one for awhile and iv'e seen a few go for that down here as well.

apstguy · 05-04-2004, 09:04 PM

Looks awesome! You got quite a deal. Now when is the customizing going to begin?
