Saw that good looking truck of yours today and have to give credit, that's a beautiful truck. Made me feel a little bad with mine being so dirty.

 

Like I said.....Dirty!

LEFT A-PILLAR - Illusion Audio Carbon C3 Component Set (Fully Active 3-Way with Illusion Audio Carbon C8 Midbass in the Door). That damn pocket will

eventually have my Mosconi DSP Controller mounted there.

Pillars look awesome

 

Thanks!

 

Time is the factor now, waiting on parts from a metal fabricator so I can complete the engine compartment and back wall. Wish I had the tools to do it myself, but I dont so I wont......

 

Stay tuned, as I get stuff finished I will keep the build updates going.

Man you have done a amazing job. I keep up with your truck mods and it has been pretty cool watching her turn into what she has became.

 

I got a quick question for you. I have been trying my hand and messing around with some vinyl wrap. And well. Mine just does not turn out as well on the corners and bends. I wanted to do my mirrors like that and I just can't see how that would turn out that good on the 3 way corner. I watched some novices on YouTube with the 3m 1080 and that seems like it would be ALOT easier to work with. My question now...Was it? And how hard was that 3 way corner of the mirror?

Thanks for the compliments. As you can see looking at my own mirror caps, you can wrap these, it just takes some time and patience, and a heat gun. I posted my technique for wrapping on here a few pages back. The vinyl I use is 3M 1080, not Dinoc. All exterior vinyl i treat afterwards with a high quality dark wax (made for dark colors) and a silicon coating to make it resistant to the elements. The great part about it is the fact that if it gets damaged or worn I can easily replace it.

Thanks, I like your drop, but will do that after everything else, maybe end of next year. What did you use?

Is the 303 Aerospace that you're putting on your pillars the same product that others use for their vinyl trim, or is there a different product for the interior? Thanks in advance

Yes, same product. I was just stating that it needed it so it would match.

Bell tech 2509 front spindles. Bell tech 2" rear shackles and removed the lift block

That may be the route I will take when I get to that point, I do prefer Belltech products, just worried it will harshen the ride quality. My sway bars will be installed at that point and it will already be stiff as hell!

 

Mr2015, What struts did you use?

 

In the spring when I install the sways bars, bilstein 4600's, and willwood brakes, it maybe the best time for me to do it, so I will have to ponder whether I want to make that great of a change all at one time.....

      Differential covers

      By RJL1 · Posted

      I just brought home a 2020 GMC 1500 Denali.  She has 53K miles on her and I want to change out the fluids over the next few weeks.  I see the diff covers don't have drain plugs.  Any suggestions where I can pick up front and rear diff covers with drain plugs?   Thanks,   Bob

      Ac not keeping up

      Well, the dealership got the compressor and installed it. Air at the vents seems nice and cold as it should be. The service manager said the repair has a two year warranty and unlimited mileage. Hopefully I don't have to use it. The dealership i went to was one where I bought my 2014 half ton silverado. In 10 years and 168k miles on the truck anything I needed done and two small recalls they were always very good to me. Not a huge dealer either. I think they treat people well because they want you to come back. I have dealt with a different dealer that was too big to care about an individual. Just my two cents.

      Multigate Connector Difficult to Connect Fully

      By Another JR · Posted

      Hi All, I operate my 2021 3500 SLT most of the time with the tailgate off and in a crate because I have a slide-in camper. However, at least once a year, I take the camper off and put the tailgate back on. Recently I installed the tailgate, but had a hard time getting the connector bail to swing to the fully latched position. The connector seems to fully seat, and everything works, but the bail doesn’t swing to fully latched position.  It swings almost there but stops and I am afraid to push it any harder.    Does anyone have any advice on cleaning or lubrication or anything else I should be doing?  i know how to properly operate the connector. During the time the tailgate and connector are off, i have a double plastic bag over the truck connector secured with rubber bands to keep it clean, but it still had some dust in it this time when I blew it out with compressed air. I didn’t want to spray it with anything other than air without doing some research. Thanks.

      There are a lot of spammer's that do that, quote something and add some commentary to make it seem legit, but modify the quoted text a bunch making sure when posted it's long enough to be "click to expand", and either immediately insert a spam link, or come back after some time and edit it to add the spam link.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello @jaszr2 Do you have a link for the item? I put a replacement bumper on my truck and consequently had to relocate the shutters. I studied on them a while, and figured if you left a couple key blades, you could get most of the airflow with probably no throwing codes.
