You have a really bad case of "Another Box On The Porch" disease.

I noticed that these did not have anything on the B side. My 2011 step bars had an aluminum extrusion pressed or attached to the B side. Cost save I guess. I also checked a 2015 M plate SD in the parking lot, same as mine, hollow under. Oh well.
Love those steps Jeff!

Just realized, I have to update my signature now, rolled over 64k over the Fourth of July!

Ok, I understand your excitement....

So from the looks of your exhaust tip in the picture, you're already at 4 inches, unless it's an optical illusion.....?

It looks like the Diesel SUV may make a return, but under the General's brand of Cadillac... Cadillac Considering Diesel, Turbo V-6 for Escalade

Installed new Nitto's today, I had a vibration at 80+(move aside Russ) that just wouldn't go away. It's gone now! Lol
Looking forward to my drive next week. First long trip for this Ex. Having a full interior/exterior detail done on Friday. I rented a Bentley convertible for my time in CT. I had a hell of a time trying to park my previous EX last year in NYC, plus the roads suck!
I'm just executing my right to say no to potholes! Lol

.
For every Escalade produced they will recall three. Last time GM did a diesel of their own in the Olds it snapped the rods.

I had Another Box on The Porch also, don't know if it works as claimed but we'll see.

Never said it would be any good, just that they might try to do it. With it being in a Cadillac, the thing will most likely be priced at 80 grand or more

Nothing implied on my end. The ESV goes up to $86 K already add a diesel = six-figures with taxes.

I found a blem tip and a 3.5-4" 'biggerizer'....so, illusion.

Funny, I think I was more impressed with the MBRP decal than anything else in the box. Ah well, hopefully this weekend.

I love it. Is this to protect the paint?
