I have some extra carpet from my gun safe project, so I just need some more spray adhesive. Just need to fab up some 1 1/4" feet and should be good. I used a round over bit on my router and did the port opening, magnet extension and used a flush trim bit to straighten out the one lip on the rear so it's all good now. Used plenty of wood glue and let everything sit clamped overnight. Took all week to do it, but hopefully it'll be nice and strong, and sound even better.

So did you leave a tip or no?

Lol no. Worse thing is I didn't see til after I left and was back at the hotel. After calling management about it they hung up on me after they heard the words "y'all damaged my vehicle". Needless to say my insurance company is going after them. Live and learn always check your vehicle after you get it back from valet.

I'd call a paralegal if I were you. Just ask them what you should do.

Looks good! How exactly did you get the gauge rings out?

The rings have tabs on the back that they can be just push and they'll come off really easy.. the hardest was the 2 big rings, the bottom tabs are really close to the clear plastic curvature. I did push clear plastic a bit to take the tabs without breaking them. Def take your time to do it.

I removed my 20" Texas Edition wheels for 18" Sierra wheels.

Does anyone know the size of the center cap? I want to put a blank center cap as this one has the GMC logo.

looks great! i think those are by far the best looking stock wheels

Finally got my Cognitos and Kings put on the front end - I'm been in the process of moving interstate so my tools are finally all in the same place and I could get this done.

Apologies for the lack of a full truck finished pic - I had to finish up the passenger side in the dark.

The driver's side took several hours, primarily because I couldn't get the spindle to bust loose with the tried and true hammer technique (I beat the hell out of it for 45 min) so I had to run out and get a pickle fork. And it took me beating the piss out of the pickle fork, demolishing the grease boot, and jacking the LCA up and down several times to get it to bust loose!! I've never had one this difficult, and the truck only has 10k on it so it should be relatively un-seized. The passenger side was only marginally better - maybe it's something to do with the cast steel UCAs?

The passenger side was done in about 90 minutes, including having to drag out lights and move them around constantly.

Now to do the rears and put some new shoes on her.

Added note: for anyone who is putting Cognitos on themselves, watch out for the logo plate when installing the strut - it's a sharp unfinished edge and can easily slice the hell out of you [emoji51]
