Music isn't exactly the same with no bass so I got a old school Rockford Fosgate Punch amp and subs. At first I bought a wiring pack from Frys with I think 6 gauge power and ground which I didn't know was weak. So I went big lol I bought 0 gauge which is a little to big; its hard to wiring it under the mats so I advise y'all to get at most 2 gauge.

Next, I upgraded my muffler to a Flowmaster Super 44 Single-In Dual-Out. It wasn't the best welding but it did the job and I learned a valuable life lesson "You get what you pay for."

When I bought the Tahoe the trunk needed a wooden stick to stay open so I replaced the lift gates

I started to love working on my truck and it became my hobby after work, school, and soccer. Now I go broke spending lots of money of parts :). I stumbled upon the gauge cluster mod and replaced the halogens with blue led.

I did some more research and found out about Cold Air Intakes. I can't afford a Volant so I bought a Spectre 99002 Intake and Installed it. FYI to make it fit you'll have to trim the heat shield.

That's the spirit. You'll learn and have fun, and yea it'll make you broke... but it'll keep you out of trouble too :D

Everything looks good so far. I would pop that 3rd brake light off too and give it some tint to match the tails:waytogo:

Maybe a debadge is in order, was always my first mod on any vehicle, and not to mention free.
