    my brush guard also keeps rusting through, so this time I tried plasti-dip instead of bedliner, thinking maybe that would help prevent future rust? dunno, it was worth a try. dad bet me $20 it would work, but I don't have faith in plasti-dip having a magical ability to prevent rust. and...

    So here was what happened today. I had bought 0.25" spacers, which should've fixed my offset problem, but when they arrived, of course they didn't come anywhere close to fitting. so whatever, sent the seller a message on eBay, got a full refund and got to keep the useless paper weights...

    When I turn too sharply, it rubs in the front. When I hit large bumps, it rubs in the rear. My grandparents were over, so we had myself, mom, dad, sister, sister's boyfriend, grandma, grandpa, my girlfriend, and 4 little cousins stuffed in the back XD

    lol I don't mind it I'm considering lifting / leveling / etc so it helps :) right now I've got these Hummer H3 rims with 26 positive offset, so I rub a little full tilt yesterday I had 12 people in the car, which weighed it down a bit, and I rubbed on every single little bump so I'm looking...

    Yeah I've never ran either of these brand speakers (American Bass or Tang Bamboo) but they have really good sound quality. My last Tahoe setup was peaky and the tweeters were really harsh, so I'm glad I have something better sounding this time. I think I already have the beginning signs of...

    And since I've never really taken some pictures of the Pillars, here they are. Custom fiberglass with 8 total 3" full range speakers. (Tang Band W3-1364SA 3" Bamboo Cone Driver) They are fantastic for sound quality! Definitely my favorite part about the setup currently. And what...

    It didn't occur to me that some people haven't followed the Tahoe build, or that all the stuff I know about these vehicles might not be known by others, so I haven't really taken any time for descriptions of pictures of the intermediary processes. That being said, if anyone wants help or has...

    Managed to do about 80% of my wiring today. I had many mistakes along the way that slowed down the process. 1) I wired all 20 of my door speakers incorrectly, so instead of 4 ohm loads on the front doors and 2.67 on the rear, I was reading like 0.7 on the DMM. Had to remove about half the...

    and now we wait, hehe. too bad winter is like 6 months away finally got a little video of the doors playing on just head unit power. didn't seem that loud in person, so I cut it short, but in the video they seem okay also thinking about getting another layer of 20% tint on top of my 5% on...

    I'm just gonna find the actual heated seat button. Then it'll look as OEM as possible, and I'll wait and see how many of my friends can't figure out why their heated seats don't work xd Got the rear doors done tonight, but as usual, too late to test anything. Tomorrow is an all day beach...

    I finally finished the 2nd door right around midnight, so I wasn't able to test it... tomorrow I should hopefully finish the other 2 doors here's a better picture of the part of the door I had to cut out to make room and pics of both doors now

    [Update 8/23] 04 Suburban 1500 - SOLD

    Finally cleaned out the garage enough to be able to fit my vehicle in between both stalls so I could start deadening. Started with about 280 square feet, so far I spent about 5 hours and have one door done. I have to make a run to the junkyard and find two of those heated seat switches...

    I dropped like $500 on Second Skin Damplifier (B-Stock) as it's what I've always used. Talking with other people though, this Noico 80Mil from Amazon looks just about the same thing, for like 30% or more cheaper (not good at math)...

    [Update 8/23] 04 Suburban 1500 - SOLD

    Haha yep. Put 2,600 miles on the vehicle since I got it 2 weeks ago. Might be driving to Indiana tomorrow to buy a squarebody Tahoe walled with 8 15s... if that falls through, I might go to Missouri to buy some other stuff :cool: it's nice having a reliable vehicle that I can just take...

    Got my head unit in, exhaust on, and started painting the Z71 rack. Head Unit install was a breeze in these '04 - '06 vehicles, cus they actually are meant for double dins. Look at all that room, and how neat and tidy the OEM wires are! Still had to dremel out some of the back area though...

    All the other gauges seem to work fine, I believe it's just a stepper motor. Eventually I'll get around to it. Haven't really diagnosed the window problem to see if it's a switch issue or motor. Either way, I've replaced those in the past too. The nice thing about these Chevy's, is that...

    Anyways, quite a lot has happened with this truck in the last 24H! It started out with installing a new Idler Pulley. Here's a crappy little Windows Movie Maker Video I put together if anyone cares about it lol then, I had initially told myself I wouldn't do audio in this vehicle, and I was...

    Ah I see! For most front end mods I don't really see a ton of value since I'll always have the brush guard on :( Thinking about selling the HD hood for that reason

    Thanks :) Should get the bumpers plasti-dipped and new headlights in today. Yep! My mom was the first one in our family to get the smoked tail lights, and I just bought the same pair for my Tahoe / Suburban

    ReUpped on my Plasti-Dip on these Hummer H3 rims. I had initially dipped them for my dad about 3 years ago, and didn't do the best job. Also got my tail lights and 3rd brake light on. The truck is starting to come together a bit nicely ;)

    [Update 8/23] 04 Suburban 1500 - SOLD

    Got back a bit early from the trip. Headlights, tail lights, and 3rd brake light are in. Just ordered my Head Unit, Flowmaster 40 muffler, backup camera, etc. Looking into having someone build me some custom door panels for this beast. And I've had some rubbing with these tires, did some...

    [Update 8/23] 04 Suburban 1500 - SOLD

    Got the Tahoe sold today and went in for my tint. Appointment was at 4pm and he finished at like 9pm. Crazy how long it took, but the guy was awesome. We chatted the entire time, as he used to be into car audio. I'm super happy with it, but couldn't get very good pictures because it was...
