Fosscore's 2006 Tahoe Build Thread

[Fosscore]

I believe the company that I posted a link to will add a transmission gauge to your cluster now for $99, if thats something your interested in.

Could be a good option too. Touch wood that the cluster is working as it should, with only some dust inside, but that's to be expected after 11 years. Thx for the info.

Replaced the front passenger overhead grab handle. Dum dum here accidentally painted it when I replaced the headliner and put a fresh coat of darker grey on the other headliner pieces at the time. Spray paint and rubber handles don't go together. More like fly sticky paper now.

When we took a family weekend short road trip last weekend, the wife reminded me of how sticky it was. I had already grabbed one from the junkyard months ago, but never got around to installing it. I cleaned it up, pulled the trim and visor apart and am back in business with a normal feeling grab handle.

The little things...

Here are 4 pics for you. Not 100% happy with the handle as it is not pewter, but the slate or tan color. Was hard to tell from whatever truck I pulled it from must have been really dirty. Having said that, it is clean, not sticky for the wife and better than before. Not OCD passable,, but it will do for the time being until I can find another one at the junkyard. Better than the sticky one I had in there for too long, but since I never ride in the passenger side it was not high on my fix list....lol Looking at it further, it is not too bad, but definitely lighter than my B pillar and sticks out against the darker headliner.

Junkyard dirty.


Magic Eraser clean.


dum dum spray painted the handle to match the darker grey headliner and other painted plastic parts, but it got really sticky.


Cleaned and installed.

New one looks super clean especially on that clean headliner.

Thx. It is not too bad, just different. Again one thing that no one would every notice or pay attention to other than here where we point out the finest of details. I showed the wife so she would know for the next time she rides shotgun that I fixed it. lol

@Fosscore I just got my 303 in. any tips for using it?

 

[Fosscore]

Apply it directly to what you are coating or if around other areas you do not want to coat, then directly to the your microfiber, let it sit for a short bit then just wipe over it to spread and remove any excess.

I actually use it on the wheel well liners too, especially the NNBS as the OEM gaps are so huge. I spray it all over, let it soak in and either wipe over to get the areas that I missed during the application or I just leave it alone. Leaves a great shine/sheen without being super glossy.

You really cannot go wrong with that stuff IMHO. @jerryjoe28
