    Headlight Baking

    I don't have any leather gloves but I'll probably use the ones that came with my jack in my Tahoe. They should provide good grip and keep me from burning myself Sent from my Galaxy Note 4 via Tapatalk for Android

    Centerline Tomahak Sniper 20" Aluminum w/ AT for sale

    I have some Centerlines that I've been running on my Hoe for a long time. They've been awesome, but I wanted smaller wheels. They are 20x8, (6 lug obviously) I have a sent of matching lugs that are anti-theft as well as the tool for the lugs as well. 3 are wrapped in Toyo AT I tires with...

    I'm thinking about just picking up a cheapy heat gun from harbor freight or home depot. I have a harbor freight gift card I've been meaning to use on some steel gas cans for long offroad trips but I can probably get a heat gun there too. Thanks for the advice. I'm getting that the general temp...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    For me, the biggest difference has been accelerating in 1st and 2nd while getting in the freeway. Also when downshifting while passing someone. Its brought my flowmaster to life a little more and it sort of 'barks' a little more on the shifts at high RPMs. Sent from my Galaxy Note 4 via...

    DIY: High Flow Stock Airbox (Swiss Cheese Mod)

    The holes are fine since they're far below the air filter. The only possible issue with them is they might be getting warmer air since theyre next to the coolant tank. I cant remove the plate below because thats what the airbox is fixed too. Maybe in the future I could cut out a square hole...

    DIY: High Flow Stock Airbox (Swiss Cheese Mod)

    Just swiss cheesed my airbox and dropped in a k&n. No huge difference but its a little more peppy. Im just trying to compensate for my heavy-ass tires. here's my airbox. I could probably drill it out some more for more noticeable results. These are 1/2" holes

    Wheel and tire size?

    I prefer smaller wheels as well. Better for offroading and cheaper for tires. I'm running 16x8 with 285/75 MTs. Just look at my sig for details

    Headlight Baking

    Yeah. I don't have a heat gun unfortunately. I'm gonna start at low temp for 5 minute intervals and bump the temp and time until I get results. Also, Ill just do one light at a time so I can get the right temp/time combo down and then the rest should be easier. I was thinking that once I have...

    Headlight Baking

    Does anyone have any advice/instructions to baking headlights? I'm going to install a halo around my highbeam bulbs and around my DRLs. I need to bake all of my lights so I can install the 4 halos. I've never done this before and I don't want to mess up my lights. Also, if anyone knows the...

    Colorshift Halos - Installed

    Projectors are in a round housing that better accommodates a halo for easier install. Also, as the name implies, they project the light much better than standard reflectors Sent from my Galaxy Note 4 via Tapatalk for Android

    Need help lifting my 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe

    Good luck man. Like I said, you can always throw Bilsteins in later on if the RC shocks end up being crappy. Might not be a big deal on pavement, but when you hit the trails, the quality will apparent. Post pics back here when she's all finished up Sent from my Galaxy Note 4 via Tapatalk for...

    Need help lifting my 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe

    Well, I suppose you could always throw bilsteins in there at some point in the future when you have an extra $300 laying around. Again, if it were me I would wait for a couple more pay days but trust me do I know what it feels like to be anxious to get it done. I stared at the parts on my floor...

    Need help lifting my 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe

    Does the kit include everything? I remember seeing RCs keys and spacers and thinking they were overpriced. My keys and spacers together were only $80, Bilsteins were $300, and coils were $60. None of this included tax. I'm in Cali so sales tax is a *****. Basically $500 all said and done after...

    Need help lifting my 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe

    They would work, but shocks are a critical part of the process here as they are what will save your ride quality after you crank out your keys. I personally would wait another couple paychecks and go with the Bilsteins but you could buy cheaper shocks if you don't care that much. One thing is...

    Question about lift and tires.

    S/B fine on your Yukon. And it would be tough to do all this yourself without the right tools. You'd need compressors for the coils, a lift to lift the truck up by its frame while you install the keys and crank them. Also, you most definitely need an alignment after this because cranking the...

    Need help lifting my 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe

    I wouldn't go bigger than 33's. Depends on the exact tire. 33" Toyo MTs rub a tiny bit when I have the wheels cranked all the way and I'm backing up sometimes. But I've heard people say they run 295/305 tires with no rub. Different manufacturers and different tread patterns will throw off the...

    Question about lift and tires.

    If you crank the keys all the way you should be ok. Might rub a little. Are the rough country shocks longer than stock up front? Also, are you not leveling the rear? Theres' probably enough room in the rear wheel wells to stuff 33's, but your truck is gonna be leaning if you don't bring the rear...

    Question about lift and tires.

    If you're going to hit the trails or mud patches, go with the 17's and get some nice MT tires. The bigger the sidewall, the cheaper the tire, especially with AT/MT tires. If your gonna be cruising on the road, id go with the 20's. I used to run 20x8's with 275/55 AT tires and that was great for...

    Need help lifting my 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe

    If you don't need your bumpers really, then screw it. Go with the level, shocks, and BL. But if you need that height for like 35's or 37's, you might as well spend the extra $400 over the cost of level and BL and get a full on 6" lift kit. No suspension geometry issues, wearing ball joints, and...
