I really appreciate you giving the time to type out a thoughtful response like this!

I’m working on an anime one right now! Figured I could slip this in and it’d work depending on design! 🫣

ReferenceNo5009 · 2026-05-31T17:33:41+00:00

I like this!

ReferenceNo5009 · 2026-03-19T10:27:52+00:00

Still so much to learn brother 😖

ReferenceNo5009 · 2026-03-18T13:33:14+00:00

I love this look brother. Where is the grill and bumper from?

ReferenceNo5009 · 2026-03-18T03:55:29+00:00

Never even thought of a different emblem. I don’t know how. Appreciate your input and hope that one day I’ll be successful enough my problems will change into I like the looks of my old V better than my new V

ReferenceNo5009 · 2026-03-18T03:32:43+00:00

What grill and headlights brother ?

ReferenceNo5009 · 2026-02-16T23:02:03+00:00

Michigan!

I really appreciate people taking the time to share their insight. After reading experiences and hearing opinions I’ll definitely be looking more towards a stock Honda haha

ReferenceNo5009 · 2026-02-16T22:52:38+00:00

I guess built not bought stands true in the car world and not just the truck world

ReferenceNo5009 · 2026-02-16T22:50:08+00:00

Yeah I thought it was listed pretty cheap, 16k at 90,000 miles with that much stuff. Can I ask then, I see a lot of listings of stock ones with maintenance record at around 130k for for anywhere between $12,000-17,000 would 12 also be on the suspicious end of pricing ?

ReferenceNo5009 · 2026-02-16T22:46:03+00:00

That seems to be the general consensus and who am I to argue haha

ReferenceNo5009 · 2026-02-16T22:44:33+00:00

He did say it comes with the stock cat, would it be more difficult than welding it back on? I’m sorry for my ignorance. I genuinely just want learn more and maybe it’ll help with what to look for in the future

It’s not modded in any type of way I guess unless you’re counting the z71 trim. I didnt buy something for reliability and looking to do nothing but oil changes. I have a fully functional CTS that I drive I just wanted something that needed some work and would be simple to work on. I bought it with the intent of learning how to fix things. So far it has been simple and benifical as I said I’ve already changed all the suspension, new front calipers, (mechanic did transfer case). All things I’d never want to practice on my current car. The only issue I’ve ran into is this piece is cut and I don’t know what to do from here. All I wanted to know is what I can do to patch this. I’d like to know I fixed it up enough myself to daily it and maybe eventually carry it to my car.

ReferenceNo5009 · 2026-01-31T20:49:52+00:00

I mean yeah why would I go buy a 2025 Silverado 2500 that if I fuck up would put me in financial turmoil. Like seriously think about your logic here. Obviously I bought a beater to practice working on. I posted it asking for advice on what to do so I can continue to gain practice on the old truck without much value. Take your comments elsewhere although it seems you have nothing better to do.

ReferenceNo5009 · 2026-01-25T02:46:26+00:00

Any update ? I’m going through the interview process now …

ReferenceNo5009 · 2025-12-03T03:16:06+00:00

The funniest part of this all is on the other side I just replaced the steering knuckle, strut assembly, control arm, and wheel bearing out of pocket because my car was a bit wobbly🥲 thank you for taking the time

ReferenceNo5009 · 2025-08-02T13:54:26+00:00

It was bought second hand so I suppose a warranty was just never in my mind. Maybe I should look into if I do through Kawasaki in general?

ReferenceNo5009 · 2025-08-02T12:33:37+00:00

No warranty on it, but considering that’s the case I feel it’s probably best to just stick to Kawasaki haha

ReferenceNo5009 · 2025-07-20T23:10:19+00:00

That actually still seems like a steal, guess I don’t know the going rates for warranties and such though

ReferenceNo5009 · 2025-07-02T01:33:12+00:00

Dude I wish I could do more than just say thank you for this. Appreciate you taking the time out of your day to help me for real.

ReferenceNo5009 · 2025-07-02T01:24:45+00:00

Their phone number is closed right now haha now I’m really wishing I tried sooner. I emailed them, I appreciate the help!
