Really good looking truck. I like it.

Those wheels look like 2pc Intro. Pricey!!

Thank you. Yes they're 2 --piece intros. It's the only truck I've seen this particular wheel on and I've looked at plenty. They're not in their catalog.

Duh. I feel so stupid. It was the TCM battery fuse missing. I'm not sure where I put that one....into an unused spot that now has a fuse lol. What an idiot. That's why I don't just start pulling fuses, at least not until this morning. I'll reconnect the battery in the morning since it's dark now and this battery is hard to get to. Thanks man.

We all have our moments. Ya gotta at least feel relieved that it wasn't anything major!

I got the cowl pieces today and installed them but I think I'll pull them and paint with the same stuff I used for the center part of the cowl. The black is just a tad off. Also got the center part of the rear bumper pad and backup cam; I was looking for a location for the cam and realized the spare tire lock/hoist cover isn't used on this truck since there's a fuel cell where the spare would go. I already have a locking ring set for the lock holder/cover thingy that was for the Denali so I'll just cut the tube off the back side and drill a hole the size of the cam lens in the door of the cover and mount it behind. It will be pretty stealth. Here's the tube/cover from my Denali for reference. I'll mount the cam and silicone the door closed.

Cool idea, just make sure you have it aimed correctly.

Up and down aiming can be accomplished via my toggle switch for the rear airbags! But yeah I figure I'll temp it in and make adjustments until it looks right with the truck level. But I will be able to aim it to the sky or ground with my suspension.
