Default New LS powered vehicle and Garage toy

Haha New to me LS powered vehicle!

I bought a 2004 Chevy express 2500 Van

Has a LQ4 6.0 / 4L80E trans / 14 bolt rear end!
No Rust , 200k !!! Runs like NEW! ,
Just needs a TPS sensor and the water pump is starting to leak, lucky me i have 2 throttle bodies laying around and 3 water pumps.

And the best part was the 400$ i paid for it! Even if it dies i'll have some nice cores for the money, but she runs so nice i'll prob use it as a daily beater. Damn i love LS engines!

Shitty phone pic. Ended up putting my stock Dmax wheels on it, not bad IMO.




And also bit the bullet and bought one of the best things a garage can have.

The Atlas PV-10 - The Most Versatile Two Post Above Ground Lift - YouTube

Im stoked, been wanting one for years! Also bought an oil change drum for fluid draining.

Nice lift.


Very jealous of the van. I have wanted one for my business for years. Never been able to afford one worth having.
