spent the last few days working on head unit and wiring stuff, ugh.
GM did not make these vehicles with enough space back there for all the wires I try to jam in there
had to cut out the support again to be able to fit things
surprisingly put back together nicely
no sound right now though...
haven't had much time to put into the vehicle with all the hours I've been spending at work lately
that being said, I dropped off my panels and money to get my stuff built
so here's the design for the 6 12s:
went with 3 Eminence Delta 10A's and 2 Selenium ST200 tweeters per door
about to go...
Yesterday I got my shipment of deadener in
since I usually spend like $500/vehicle (Second Skin Damplifier, B-Stock) and only keep them for 2 months... I went the "cheap" route this time.
180 square feet of Amazon Noico 80mil for $319.95
unfortunately, it left some pretty sizable holes in the...
the housings, or the bulbs?
LED bulbs I feel are a lot brighter, but don't have as far of a range, if that makes sense
for the housing, I feel like they are pretty much exactly the same in terms of light output
hopefully that helps
Thank you <3
Always super cool to see GM lovers in other...
I don't have a ton to go off of, since I've only ever driven GM Suvs and the Grand Prix, but I've found all of these aftermarket headlights to be more than sufficient, even at night with 35% windshield tint.
The upgrade to LEDs was more of a luxury thing than necessity, but I guess we'll see...

good ole eBay headlights with AuxBeam + JDM Astar LEDS
These specific headlights come wired so you can illuminate just...
Pulled the truck out to do some seafoaming and got a few pics
not sure why the GXP sounds so bad, both vehicles have the same exact muffler, but the GXP has some weird resonating going on that was driving me nuts when I filmed it
I never hear it when driving though
true, I guess I could've just bought a 6.0L engine instead of the whole truck lol
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
well crap. after all the talking and watching old vids, I went ahead and purchased these
6 12s on 10kw coming up...
haha I don't feel like spending the money on two vehicles to make one essentially
I've thought about it many times though
when you get loud enough, you just literally destroy the sunroof.
the seals brake and it starts leaking, etc. it's a mess
I've helped friends weld several of theirs shut...
I'm always good for some hijacking :) I love seeeing posts and getting new ideas.
So far the biggest dislike on this vehicle is the damn GMC grill! I'd much rather have a Chevy front end lol.
Come to think of it, I just want a 6L in a Tahoe....
I'm thinking about an audio system but I keep...
the thing I don't like about the Chevy ones is the badges are all one thing, so you can't get the cutout, individual letter effect that I have
my dad plasti-dipped his emblems on the Suburban and it drives me crazy lol
I want to remove them so badly but he won't let me
for real, what kind of...
Today, with my dad's help we were able to get quite a bit done.
Got my roof rack put back on, all new LED bulbs (AuxBeam 9005s and 9006s, and JDM Astar 3157 switchbacks for the turn signals), and new housings for all the lights.
I've still got to swap out the rear hatch handle for my black...
Yeah it works awesome!
Plasti-dip is probably one of the coolest products I've ever used. The possibilities are so endless
haha thanks fellas. it makes me feel a bit better knowing others think it was a good deal
I honestly had instant buyer's regret driving this one home. $4800 was so...
next I put all my cheap black plastic handles on ;)
she's definitely starting to look a lot better in my opinion!
hopefully this week I'll get all my lights installed, put my roof rack back on (I took it off to paint matte black and underestimated how difficult it would be to put it back on by...
Then I was eyeballing all the chrome on the vehicle and deciding how to get rid of it... and decided to plasti-dip the Denali badges.
You start here:
I think it made a huge difference to the aesthetic of the vehicle, despite being a relatively small change
it was definitely the most detail...
might have an interesting twist happening very soon.... I should know by this weekend what's gonna happen
anyways, picked up my favorite budget 6 lug rims today for $50 on craigslist :D
I've always wanted these rims on my other vehicles, but in the past I either happened to have 16" tires...
pretty sure that's it. aftermarket tails and some 20" GM rims of some sort
stock audio except one 15" RE sub that I put in about 5 years ago.
maybe in the next few days if it stops raining I'll get some pics :)
I've always hated silver / chrome, so I try to black out as much of it as possible.
Here was my last Tahoe before and after the door handle swap (among other things):
Pictures of the rack came out weird due to the sun light
also, I used gloss spray paint which was a big mistake. I'll have to pull it off and redo it matte eventually
I have about $900 worth of other stuff sitting in my eBay cart, just waiting until I get an 8% or 10% off coupon to pull the...
my mom and I have both had issues with TC in the rain on her vehicle, I wonder if maybe something failed in hers
haha yeah, I'm already contemplating selling my GXP and just sticking to the truck.... I miss having a big vehicle
ask and you shall receive:D
I pulled an old Z71 rack I had...
Honestly if it were not for the tires (which I value around $700) I wouldn't have even looked at it.
To me, it's a lot of money for 180k miles lol.
You've still got a baby then :)
My only previous experience in a Denali was my mom's which during rain SUCKS, because the traction control will...
