Holy story time batman! Lol

Fun read. Always frustrating but still fun figuring stuff out too cause you never give up. You just know how awesome it's going to look when you're done. Looks awesome.

I can tell your super excited to have the rear all finished in leds. As you should be because it looks amazing.
Btw when you getting rid of that tree branch ?

That Escalade third break light looks perfect! agree with @05Single it would look a lot cleaner without that wiper arm

Thx guys. Tree branch has to hang for the wife. It's her daily driver. Believe me it has crossed my mind numerous times, but it is staying.

Great mod and an even better write-up, brother. Way to hang in there and be tenacious!

Thx sir. A long wait for sure, but worth the end result.


Love it! Looks amazing.

Gave her a solid exterior wash and detailed the interior as well. The kids and wife sure make a mess of the interior. Not to mention the dog as well. Grr...

Vacuumed, wiped down the panels, sprayed the floor liners off and polished all the chrome trim including the wheels with some NevrDull.

The passenger rear door handle broke again even after the epoxy job I did a few months back.

I had ordered a Dorman replacement at the time and kept it so the swap out was not delayed by waiting for parts.

And I also found that I had forgotten to install the 4 nuts on my Esky 3rd brake light that hold it to the housing. Oops. I had put all the bolts in my NBS rear cup holders, but had forgotten what they were for until today. Doh!!

Thanks man. Yeah I think your color would benefit more from the color match on those parts. Either way your truck is looking good.

Any specific procedure to do the door handle replacement? How much was the dorman replacement?
