Rocket Man's 2008 Bagged CC Silverado Build AKA "THE MACHINE"

[Rocket Man]

And today the organizer for the console came in. I had bought one of these last summer and then realized I had a jumpseat not a console (duh) and sold it. Not this time. The last thing that’s keeping me from installing the console is deciding what to do about the Deutsch connector for the switches. I kinda need the cup holder to see if I can install the plug in front of it but that won’t be here until next Tuesday.

Bruh... I didn't even think about that. What a turn of events that would lead to you needing one now! I think I still have the knock-off one I used for a few months.

I’m leaning toward a new Autowoods black leather steering wheel to match. The OEM one is like the seats were- just ok. The Autowoods is way nicer leather, and is $125 after core return. Hmmmm.

I couldn’t wait anymore to see what the sub sounded like so I hooked it up temporarily tonight. I don’t have any good speaker wire yet and didn’t have time to mount the amp. I was starting to worry that the JL was too much for the box and would sound like shit but I’m happy to say it hits super hard. I still need to dial the amp and HU sub adjustments in but I am impressed. People will definitely be wondering where all the bass is coming from. It shakes the cab pretty good. Played Low Rider by War and some Audioslave.

I tried but the Bluetooth connection stopped as soon as I started video recording so buzzkill. I’ll have to use the iPad to video I guess.

Well, we know this is either already ordered, or will be in the next few hours. Very nice!

Yeah.. playing the music via Bluetooth makes taking video at the same time require another device. I get that. [emoji106][emoji6]

Yeah you know me huh Sam. I just received my refund from LKQ for the console plus after checking on EBay it looks like my jumpseat is worth a small fortune. I see the fabric ones listed for no less than $300, up to $450 so I figure I can easily get $350 for the leather one plus it’s in perfect condition. I checked around on prices and Autowoods is less expensive than pretty much all the others and I know their quality is top notch since I have one of theirs in The Beast. So it’s ordered in matching black leather.

Haha! Awesome! You’re playing the game though, making money on almost everything you take out. Way to go!

If things work out the way I think, I might be ok on this whole interior swap by the time I sell everything. I still have lots of interior pieces, the jumpseat, the seat leather, plus I sold the old dash for $375 and turned down an offer of $100 (mistake) for the dash that came with the Tahoe dash assembly that I paid $150 for. I think I’ll be able to get another $1000-1200 out of stuff. That would be a total of $1400-$1600 so the whole thing would cost me around $400-600. Not bad.
