DAAAMMN SON... for real though, it looks great!

I like it yet I dont. I personally think there is too much wood. I think you should get the metal finish pieces to go in the middle and it would be pretty close to perfect.
I would agree, if Chris had not just paid close to $100 for the wood ones. I really like that company's carbon fiber wheel/spoke covers, but with wood in the rest of the truck it wouldn't look good. I have been going back and forth about wrapping all the wood pieces in mine with carbon fiber wrap and getting one of those wheels, but I can't make a decision.

I would like to note that the horn mechanism for these Tahoes is retarded.

I'd also like to apologize to the people that were on US 280 in Birmingham yesterday who listened to my horn blow for 20 seconds before I drove another 15 minutes with my fingers under the horn before I got to a parking lot where I pulled the fuse.

I really don't want to fix my horn (lol) because I need to unhook the battery again to remove the air bag, which in turn erases all my audio setting from my $1000 dollar head unit, which was unbelievable to me yesterday morning.

Adjusting the horn isn't hard, just a stupid design though.

While it is always best to disconnect the battery when doing anything with the airbag you could get away without doing it since you don't have DISCONNECT the airbag to fix the horn. The wires are long enough to just lay a towel on the steering column and lay the airbag on top face up to work on the horn. You can stand to the side while doing it in the very unlikely event it should go off.

Yeah, the thought crossed my mind of just letting it lay there while I adjusted the screws.

Check the cooper contact on the bottom. It slips under a little plastic tab before screwing it down. I almost missed this. Other then that I don't know what there is to adjust unless you bent a contact. It would be hard to get the 4 screws on the metal plate to tight even though the video warns not to overtighten.
