That is actually where I first saw them pillman but I didn't like their tire choices so I ended up getting those from Discount Tire Direct. I can't remember the eBay store I bought the wheels from off hand but in total I saved quite a bit over the Detroit Tire and Wheel package they had on eBay even with the with better/larger tires (I found a $100.00 discount coupon for the tires). 

Cool! Thanks !!!! They look awesome!!!

This is what it looks like now and future plans after the audio system are to lower it a couple of inches more using drop spindles up front and lowering springs in the rear, upgrading shocks and strut

I added the DeeZee Tailgate assist and I'm in the process of converting the tailgate to automatically drop open remotely from the factory key fob using instructions I found on the forum here

Missed this one! Nobody ever sits there but Im going to get a lap belt just in case (then again I still haven't had the need for 3 seats since I put the jump seat back in so I may just get another console)

I know this is old but I’m wanting to swap mine to black also would you have a part number on those or where did you get them?

I go them from GM parts direct I believe and not sure I have the part numbers but I will look as I typically keep the packages to put the original parts in. One thing to note is the reclining handle is held on with  a c-clip so you can use an old school window crank tool to remove that one however it looks like a special tool was needed for the lumbar handle and I couldn't figure out how to get it off easily so I ended cutting the original trim panel off with tin snips to get at the handle

Nice center console. How much you want for it? :)

:lol: Somebody already got a great deal on that one  but wish I had kept since I still haven't had the need for the third seat!

From myself. ? (I build custom sub enclosures and also make custom speaker adapters from a variety of materials)IMG_1433.thumb.JPG.960b9952f60e3b86ac300b5fb261ff10.JPG

do you have an adapter to replace the factory bose 2.75 with a tweeter? it calls for a 2 1/8 dia hole for flush mount...

I custom make them for the specific speaker/tweeter so no problem with those.

I haven't had time to do much on the audio lately but I did get around to gluing the tab back on the rear trim piece so I can at least put the rest of the rear wall back together (I used JB Weld for plastic and it seems to be solid). I'm going to run the rest of the wires this weekend and then all I have to do is deaden the doors, install the speakers and sub.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
