another question comes to mind, did you cut the oem trim panel to keep the ac controls or is that a kit of some kind that let you keep the oem ac controls?

I used a panel to keep everything clean. Metra 99-3014G

Those wheels are 20s right? If not what size? I remember reading that you need at least a 20 for corvette brakes

Yup!! Minimum 20”. These are 20x9-18 or -12. Plenty of room.

Nice! Could you possibly quote part numbers for everything you had to buy for this? I'd like to source all these things before I get new wheels, but unfortunately that probably won't be for a while... [emoji28] looks fantastic gotta get a wide shot in the sun tomorrow for sure [emoji106] great job man!

Diode Dynamics SS3 pro Foglights 

Pioneer DMH-WT8600NEX 10" head unit with full JL / Focal system

 

Beam pattern and brightness blows the morimoto's out of the water, really fills in the ditch blind spots left by the projector retrofit. Easy install under ~30min. My only gripe is that they stick out of the bumper by about an inch, it used to REALLY bother me but now it doesn't really bother me much. I assume this is either lazy engineering or intentional to keep the heatsink fed with airflow. 

 

HID's only

HID's + Fogs

Wow, I knew the SS3 pro were bright and better than the Morimoto XB fogs, but I didn't think by this much!! Got any pictures of just the fogs on by themselves? Just saw they came out with the SS3 Max, wonder how these compare.. Couldn't imagine spending over 500 for fog lights tho ?

amber light has slightly more lumen's in general and the cutoff is higher, of course more watts makes a difference also

and the reflector beam pattern makes a difference spot/wide, etc

I'll see if I can snap something. But in reference to to the XB's, the beam pattern and amount of light on those was just not what I was expecting out of a fog light. I think the SS3 is the better choice regardless of color, with the amber probably being a little more useful. I like that they basically pickup where my HID's let off, so seeing deer approaching from a field etc has been greatly approved. On a side note, haven't done enough testing to see if the beam pattern is obnoxious to other drivers yet... no one flashed me when I left them on but i'm sure they're blinding so I don't usually run them unless on dark roads.

Ok quick question. I made some polished aluminum plates I thought about putting on my front cross member of my lift but undecided what do you guys think yes or no?dd6375fae9cb549f91bf574a92163e5c.jpg

Love these racks. I put one on my last truck (Tundra) and it fit perfect. Need it mostly to protect the rear window from my ATV. Super high quality. And I loved how the working harness plugs right into the trailer connector but behind the bumper. Nice and clean. They’re strong AF too, and they look great. I put a whole 12x12 deck worth of trex over it from the tailgate hangin over the cab and it held that no problem.

I am actually quite impressed at the rack itself. While on deployment I was considering building it myself out of steel but rescinded to just order it while I was about to get home. And no regrets on my choice to order it after installing it

    • Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver. 
    • Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....  
    • 4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps. 
    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.  
    • Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
