Just saw the dates for the 2025 Dino's Git-Down for this year.

Friday November 14 (GM trucks only)
Saturday November 15 (GM trucks and cars only)
Arizona Cardinals football stadium, Glendale, AZ
Over 8,000 vehicles last year.
Around 250 vendors expected this year.

No entry fee, no awards (only vendor prizes)

I can't wait to make the 3,000 mile (or so) round trip out there.
What did you think about the event? I would have made the trek up there, but I was out of town so couldn't make it.

Great event, had to wait 4 hrs from "staging" until we got into the parking lot.
Pretty cool that Dino himself handed us a "Dino's Git Down" sticker and thanked us for coming while we were in line to get a shirt.
Meet some cool folks from all over the place.
Would liked to have had more time in the area.
Big Fuel Altereds drag race in Tucson on Saturday and of course the Pima Air Museum.
Good reasons to come back out there.
Not a drop of rain our entire trip.

So 3 of my buddies road tripped to Dino's from the east coast, Kyle's (kdfannin) from southern Maryland around DC driving his '90 6.0 swapped 'burb, he picked up Matt (xlcoopxl) in Myrtle Beach and then they met up with Josh (YeahBuddyGarage from Daytona) in Leed's AL at Buccee's and rolled west on I40.

Early in the week, before they left, I'd sent this '05 GMC Sierra RCSB with 95k miles and a few tasteful mods to Matt on BAT. Long story short, he'd had a dark blue '01 or '02 GMC single cab back 15yrs ago and has missed it ever since. I sent this to him just as a joke since it was also in AZ, only 30mi from Dino's. All he said is "why did you do this to me?" :rofl: Remember this.


Josh lost the 4L60 in his blazer around Amarillo, TX and managed to find a trans shop that had one in stock. They stayed late and swapped it out for him

Kyle lost an inner wheel bearing on his 'burb, thankfully he caught it in a parking lot of The Big Texan and it didn't fail running 90+ on the interstate. Josh Uber'd to go pick up his Blazer, stopped at the parts store and got all 4 bearingss and new seals for Kyle. 2hrs in the parking lot and back on the road

So I'm sitting here at work, enjoying my Friday cigar, finishing reports and watching the auction. I'm watching like a hawk, refreshing the page every 30sec or so, there's 4 guys initially. 1 bows out at ~16k, another bows out around 18k, so it's Matt and one other guy. Matt's drunk and goes into F this guy mode about the one other bidder and both me and his wife are egging him on lol. The other guy starts talking smack in the comments but finally bows out after Matt's 23k and change bid lol.

Saturday night I get a video from inside the truck as he's driving it back and him saying "this is all your fault Zachary" lolol. He taped up the hood for the trip home cuz the hood/roof and tailgate were fresh paint (cuz of AZ sun fading)

I had been looking for it too.

That's not the one. I have the info somewhere but can't find it. The one these guys had was below the panel and replaced the optional carpet running the full width of the door.

They also sell a plastic trim that goes around the interior of the upper half of the door to finish it off as well as a ashtray innards that converts it to a wireless charging station.

That they do. I might consider those lower door panels in the future, maybe. I like the idea, but not sure I'm crazy about how they look

Yes, very functional but kind of OBS looking. They need to be a bit more "raw" to look right in the Squares
