  1. The little red clip? Or do you mean the toolbox? Lol if its the red clip I have a bunch of those too! I use em to have my girlfeiends apt key, my part time job set of keys, and my snap on key all removeable without my keys being 90 pounds. I got em at home depot in the key section and mine were plastic. Here's a link to a set of aluminum ones on Amazon. Looks to be the same size: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FQV9TXY/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_0Gs3EbXAZA5MC Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk
  2. I died reading the “stab your ????” Part. I got it from aliexpress (Chinese Amazon) for like 50 cents. It compresses, and adjusts with the ring. But not on its own, you have to pinch it to do so. Really was an add on I wanted when ordering something else but I dig it cause nobody else really has them. People always ask about that the most when they see my keys. Real attention grabber for sure. They come in a bunch of colors. If I find the right page on there I’ll link them to you. Took like a month to get em though, just so your aware... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  3. Got my new fob case from AJTDesigns! Long story short is at the Toyota dealership I work at I came across these aftermarket fobs, and I looked em up cause I loved seeing em, and they are moderately popular in the Tacoma and 4Runner builds. If it has a roof top tent chances are that they have a fob like this....lol Anyway, I looked on his site and saw he sells these for the 14+ silverado/sierra fobs that are key ignition. He doesn't have anything for any other GM with the push button start. Got an extra button set to have the red panic button, and some extra screws that are red for contrast but it came in a week and was 40 bucks with extra button set and extra screws out the door. Fob only comes with a set of buttons in your choice of color and a set of screws in your choice of color is only about 36$. Check em out, here's the link: https://www.ajtdesign-llc.com/online-store/Injection-Fob-2014-Chevy-GMC-Truck-BLACK-p119404439 Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk
  4. Its funny you say that cause I hear the salesmen at the dealership say it so often its white noise is never thought to bring that up Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk
  5. For sure [emoji106] also, the Toyota tech in me ([emoji849] I know lol) recommends tires at 5/32nds, but the poor man in me says if they hold air and its not winter your good to go haha Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk
  6. I would get something to measure them and go from there. Always have the thicker ones in the back, Especially for a truck, but if you have left bigger than right move them around in a cross pattern so you have them the right way Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk
  7. That would actually be cool and I totally get what you mean. I'd like to second it with the Z71 logo Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk
  8. I jist saw this thread and the same thing on the what have you done K2 thread and for those of you who want to get these you can use a site called treatstock.com . It'll give you instant quotes for items you want to have made by all the vendors on there. So you can have them arranged by price and whatnot. Also picking out material and color instantly. Sorry to cut in unannounced on both threads, but i figured this will help someone at least and if not for this, for some other 3d print project someone comes across that they want.

  9. Checkout treatstock.com . I got a few things printed off there. Its a contracted style website. Upload the STL file for the cad design, and it will automatically give you quotes from everybody on there offering to print things. You can pick plastic type, color, all that. But you have instant quotes you can pick from so you can go with a cheaper one if you like, or a really high rated one that costs more if you want to go that route. Great site, if anybody wants to get one of these made Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk
  10. Couldnt figure out quoting 2 people but I'll at mention you: @6.2Midnight Heres the video, its from tinkering fox, hes a buddy of pgamboa, and does a few install videos for heated steering wheels and whatnot: https://www.youtube.com/embed/SVP_27iUf5E
  11. Installed a Bak X2 rolling cover, which i might add that I got for 100 bucks [emoji41] and I got my neodymium magnet mod complete for the 16-18 console cupholders [emoji108] if anyone is interested the dimensions for under the cupholder are about 9¼ wide, 6½ deep and 5 inches front to back Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk
  12. Not that im aware. You really don't even need the GM part number for this lighter. I jist added it to make it easy for people to order from. If you looked for American style cig lighter sockets online they'd be the exact same. The real difference is the plug type in the back. The traditional American plugs look like a cross [emoji3583] in the back and euro and Japanese look different but couldn't explain it off the top of my head. As for the wire gauge, they are all rated for 12Volts so the only difference is just the plug being able to hold the lighter while its heating up. The wires are all the same, cause usually the dealership installs smoker packs and its just this plug swap and the removable lighter part and ashtray. Speaking of ashtrays, I haven't seen anything for the console, but I thought they had a little tray under the switch panel in the center of the dash next to the plug for trucks with the jump seat. IIRC.... Any plug from an American car should be just fine, I got these plugs from my 04 jeep grand cherokee. In this picture, note the 2 pin vs 3 pins in the back. The 2 pin is the GM power plug and the 3 pin is the cig lighter socket from my jeep. You DO NOT have to repin anything. But these 3 pin sockets will stay on regardless of the truck being on. So they work at any time, which I like. I don't even smoke, I just wanted these in there cause you never know when a plug cig lighter is gonna be useful. More like just a small mod for the trained eye to appreciate. I mostly posted this for people who wanted to do this swap because they would use these for their intended purpose.

  13. Today I swapped the power plugs in the center cobsole tray for traditional cigarette lighters. I can't stand how they remove features like that that cost literally nothing extra in the end for them. In any case the part number for these is GM 13502522. I got them from my old jeep but on rock auto these are 3 bucks each. A small flat head screwdriver to push out the plastic pins holding it in and needle nose pliers to get the squeeze the metal tab towards the outside wall to make the removal of the cig lighter itself easier. I would refrain from doing that to both sides as it can make them too loose and shoot a molten hot cig lighter at random somewhere in your truck...

  14. That wouldnt be a bad idea using the AC ducting but it would have significantly adverse effects come winter when your heater goes full blast on 90... so youd have to account for that. I'd vote for PC fans. They can be had for 5-12 bucks, and you can simply splice them into a wire powering your radios. I think youd be able to measure the temperatures to find out if a pc fan would do the job Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk
  15. Oh okay gotcha. TinkeringFox had a video on youtube on how to turn the gen2 console with non movable cupholder into one that moves. I personally want a 14/15 upper so I can just move the cupholders away. That will eventually be where I keep my handgun. Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk
  16. Oh was your 14/15 center console for the removable cupholder, were you planning to mount the CB underneath it? Also thanks for @ mentioning me to fill me in. It sounds like a pretty sweet idea. Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk
  17. Sounds good Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk
  18. You planning on keeping the factory plate holder off right? How much would you want to let the factory one go? I feel like eventually the cops in colorado are going to complain about not having a front plate. Couldnt hurt to have on in the garage for when that happens Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk
  19. Yep, i know what thats like. I go out of my way to deep clean my midnight edition once a week and it snows or rains within 2 days every time. if you live near Colorado and it rains or snows, you can thank me and mine for it...
  20. If you havent already PM'd him, I'd get on that. Hes a stand up guy so I'm sure he'll do everything he can to fix it or help out. @pgamboa Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk
  21. For sure man, I had 20 minutes and got bored. Interested in the mod, so I'll be lurking around here lol Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk
  22. You have me interested in hearing what the mod is now... also here are your measurements for one of two trays listed. I unfortunately don't own the other one. Would have been more accurate and in MM if my digital caliper wasn't at the Toyota dealership in my toolbox... Subbed to the thread. Would love to hear about the mod.. Cheers
  23. 2nd this Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk
  24. Awesome thanks! I'll look into a pair of those for sure Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk
  25. Those are nice pods. Where did you get them from? Sent from my SM-N975U1 using Tapatalk
