What have you done to your K2 today?

NitroDatsik · January 25, 2015

How did you set that up?

Lol is held on by very think velcro strips. The only way to make it look factory is by removing the stock stereo and I'm not doing that just yet. Maybe once the truck is old. Overall it looks good, you can't see the velcro and the tablet fits perfect. You do get the gaps on the side but it doesn't look ugly.

When I get some time off I'm going to make it so it gets held on by magnets. Attach magnets to the tablets case then put some behind the trim piece. Make it more clean for when the tablet is not there.

I've been thinking about the driver handle, I still use the steering wheel but I might try the handle especially since it's pretty cheap. Does the stock panel just pop off? I know there's 2 tabs that you bolt the handle to, just wondering if the factory panel just pops off without having to do it any special way.

You know what bro? I have to be honest. I think I did it all wrong. My handle is slightly loose and only comes with one real tab that pins on the body. But yes, the factory panel just comes off

The handle has 1 tab that goes into the frame. Then it has 2 holes for 2 bolts that go into 2 nuts that are welded to the frame already. If done correctly then there shouldn't be any play.

Yeah, the handle is the second easiest thing to do after the diodes and wires for jumping BCM connections. 5 to 10 minutes. Also, once you get used to it being there you will use every time. Just another thing the truck should have come with, like the tailgate lock popper.

Got plenty of work done on the truck today! So here's a few pictures and what is different incase you can't tell.

So let's go from front to back of the truck,

I removed my failed HIDs and replaced them with the OEMS halogens, man did I forget how lousy these things are. Honestly, the DOT pods are better than the OEM headlights IMO.

Next I went ahead and cleaned up the engine compartment of some of the wiring I have added. This mainly consisted of the HID harness and the harness for my light bars. I wired in a new wireless controlled harness for the lights and man is it cool! I think the main "cool" factor centers around the fact that I now have a few different strobe patterns that I can make the light bars flash to, and I was able to program the on/off function to one of the garage door opener buttons in the truck.

Video of strobe patterns:

I ran the wires through the dead space behind the headlights. It's a great spot to run wires to conceal them. Wish I would've taken more pictures of how well hidden everything is now.

I had to drill a hole as GM decided to put a plastic blocker on the passenger side but on the driver side it was completely open.

Next on the chopping block we have the grille! Haha, get it? Chopping block, grille? Cooking!

Well, bad puns aside, I decided I would pull the chrome inserts out and pull off the black plastidip so that they could once again be chrome. Honestly, not sure if I like it better with them black or chrome. Kinda feel like having them chrome may be a bit too much chrome and keeps the GMC from standing out as much. But that's just me, I'm curious to hear what yall think.

Chrome:

Black:

And last but not least, we have the only true addition of the day, some anti tailgater lights

I decided I would move the D2s to the rear bumper. Will give me just that extra little bit of light, you know, for those times when the light I already have isn't enough [emoji6] or just for whenever someone starts tailgating me, I can get rid of them real fast [emoji4] only thing is I didn't get to wire them in, however, I will be doing that before the weekend is over, but only as a temporary wiring set up until I can get some rigid industries (or some knock offs) connectors to hook onto my wire harness. I am hoping I can hook into the positive feed of the trailer wiring for the harness since to the best of my knowledge, that feed comes directly from the battery so it should have full power.

And that should bring everything up to speed. Now here's a couple random shots I took today.

Just a side shot. Really annoyed that my 2" level kit isn't really keeping the truck leveled. It looked great for the first few months. But now it's got a slight nose dive [emoji19]

And a front picture when I was putting in the new wire harness. Walking out of the garage, the truck looked a bit like a pirate truck since it only has one "eye" or headlight

Hows are u liking the sound?

Really good man. Sounds great on the highway and driving around the city. There is that minor "helicopter" sound but I've had passengers in it all day and no one has said a thing. Really only there if you are looking for it. I'll post some sound videos later this week. Couldn't get ahold of my go-pro today.
