Moving along nicely. That thing sure is clean.

Thanks

Should get the bumpers plasti-dipped and new headlights in today.

Long, clean and mean. Coming along nicely indeed

Same tails ? LolView attachment 199294

Yep! My mom was the first one in our family to get the smoked tail lights, and I just bought the same pair for my Tahoe / Suburban

Ooooohohh weeee!

What a world of difference today's changes made!

Got all my new lights installed and blacked out all of the chrome on the truck.

Looking really good.

Cross members behind the grille need that same treatment now.

Yea I learned that trick with my last truck , it was white so the cross beams stuck out like crazy.
Love the look now .
I know it's not much of a change but black billet grille inserts would look clean . Find them on eBay for cheap like $30

Had them in my tahoe . Not super noticeble but it's one of those little details that I like.
Inserts were silver but I plastidipped them black. I don' have a link for mine. Just type in billet grille insert

Wow this thing looks so different now

Ah I see!

For most front end mods I don't really see a ton of value since I'll always have the brush guard on

Thinking about selling the HD hood for that reason

Anyways, quite a lot has happened with this truck in the last 24H!

It started out with installing a new Idler Pulley.

Here's a crappy little Windows Movie Maker Video I put together if anyone cares about it lol

then, I had initially told myself I wouldn't do audio in this vehicle, and I was gonna keep it small.....

but some stuff popped up that I couldn't pass up!

so, I took the new suburban on her first real maiden voyage, 800 some miles round trip from Grand Rapids, Michigan to Lewisport Kentucky.



I learned and reinforced some ideas about the truck

1) My speedometer randomly decides to work or not
2) My driver side, 2nd row window no longer rolls down
3) My A/C stopped working
4) My rear doors were filled with water



but I made the trip, about 7 hours each way, and picked up some goodies




Custom doors that'll hold 20 of the American Bass 8" Neo Speakers, 3 American Bass 4 channels, and 6 American Bass mono-blocks.

Also not pictured are some A-Pillars that each hold 4 full-range 4" speakers.

Shortly after that I ordered 200 square feet of deadener, so I should have quite a few projects with this truck moving forward
