    Unfortunately, this build is dead. The vehicle was sold back in January. Sorry guys.

    Single stage clock spring for dual stage airbag?

    Anyone want to buy a 2003 steering wheel with controls? I'm probably going to replace mine with a Remin w/o controls.

    Lol sorry man, it was just a joke, as there was no price posted in the ad when I checked it out. Good luck with the sale.

    Do you happen to remember if it was an 80 series Land Cruiser or a 100 series?

    Luxury expedition build

    Got the new stepper motors and LED's into the gauge cluster today. Stepper motors were pretty straight forward. LED's took some thought. After consulting with an electrical engineer buddy of mine, we decided on wiring in some 517 ohm resistors (better for dimming), and some diodes to protect...

    Finished detailing the exterior yesterday. That chrome trim about tripled the time it would normally take to detail the vehicle.

    Luxury expedition build

    Got all the old adhesive off the body today. Also fitted some cosmetic bits- blind spot mirrors and new parking lamp assemblies. The OEM parking lamp assemblies were FILLED with water! Has anyone experienced this before? I've never seen or heard of assemblies full of water. Anyway, after...

    Some goodies arrived today, most of which will be installed tomorrow morning: ---------- Post added at 09:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ---------- Also got the rest of the glue off of the passenger side. I can't figure out what was up with those chrome panels underneath...

    That's what I was thinking. I'll have to hit that with some 2500 grit before compounding & polishing. Also ripped off some paint while removing the very last piece of chrome trim. I'll have to repaint that area as well.

    Hey everyone. I was out of the GM scene for a while (had 2 Mercedes', a Jag, a Land Rover, & a Toyota Land Cruiser in the interim), but am back with a new project in mind. I just purchased a 2003 Tahoe LT with 4WD, and am going to do a "luxury off road" build. Basically an off road /...

    Single stage clock spring for dual stage airbag?

    I'll give it a whirl... Hopefully my bubble chewing man and "service airbag" message go away once I do the swap. ---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:11 PM ---------- Did I mention that I'm deathly afraid of the airbag deploying while I'm removing it?

    Single stage clock spring for dual stage airbag?

    Just spoke with someone at the local Chevy dealer. He said that all 2003 airbags were the same, which leads me to believe that I can migrate the airbag from my steering wheel (with controls) to the new steering wheel (no controls), and use a clock spring for the new steering wheel, saving me a...

    Single stage clock spring for dual stage airbag?

    Thanks for the input. I'm trying to avoid spending $500 for just the clock spring, when: 1. I can get a new steering wheel (sans controls) and clock spring for $120 2. I'm pulling the HU anyway, which will render most of the wheel controls useless. Can we get a confirmation on...
