05Single's virgin build thread. 03 tahoe

It's not dynamat, it's frost king air duct insulation lol. Did all 4 doors with just 2 rolls at $20 a roll
Maybe next roof and hatch....

Finally, somebody that did the same thing as me lol. I was getting roasted for that on another forum. I don’t wanna pay for dynamat and stumbled on this idea on a forum ages ago.

Did the entire floor, back wall and doors in my crewcab when I did my system install and it made a noticeable difference. Maybe not the same as a name brand but for ~$60 and covering everything but the roof, I’m ok with it! Lol. I plan on the same in the Yukon

*She* was checking out the hoe with heated leather seats


So I played around with the stock parking light housings.
Fyi I tried using some butyl that I got from home depot. Comes in a roll for $6. Didnt think about how visible it would be against the black housing lol. All good as I planned to paint the border anyway.


Border just duplicolor gloss black. Then tinted the amber reflector with VHT niteshades. Then followed with a gloss on top of everything.

Looks good, but too much work! Lol

Scored another HD grille. Worse shape than the one I had before as in wear and tear and peeling of the chrome. But I can still work with it since I'm painting it anyway. Still upset about destroying the last one
Test fitted the grille, noticed I really need to adjust the passenger side of the bumper up to match the drivers side. Come paint time I'll mess with that.

It was. But I take it all as a learning process.

Hate, hate, haaaated the stock fog lights. So i had an idea, always trying to be different on a popular truck style that's had everything done to it.
Shaved the fog light opening in the valance to open it up a little for a bigger fog light from a 03-06 Silverado fogs or 07 tahoe. Modify the stock Tahoe brackets for mounting, easy with a little measuring and engineering. No big deal if I hack up this valance, I have another for final hacking lol
