HID's 6000k. High and Low. Thanks Chris!!!
Suede headliner
And finally my favorite of them all. New Head unit. Kenwood DNX5120. It's everything I expected it to be and more. I'm glad I waited for it. It was worth every penny.
It was a busy weekend... thanks for everyone who came out.
-
sorry I missed guys, I'll be looking forward to the next one hopefully things will be slowed down here at work by the next meet. Looks like you guys had fun.
Yeah- I told Chris I have to make it to one of these Iowa GTG I always hear about.
-

WHO MISSES BONJI?
It was a good time. I have some better pics of all the stuff we did. As soon as I get home I'll post them. It was a blast.
Bonj- I LOVE the pic of the mini blinds. Of all the things Fast4popper did this weekend- customizing my mini blinds was at the top of his list.
Still have suede left for anyone who's interested. Chris is sending me more paint tomorrow.
Thanks for everyone coming out- you missed a great time Sat. night!
The basement is a possibility- It better be soon though- I'm gonna get REALLY busy soon.
THESE ARE MY PEOPLE

I had to post it. stock versus how GM should have built them (IMO)
This one is for you PDB!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris- I HATE YOU.
You didn't even give me a chance to put my rims on before this pic. I see how it is. just wait for the pics I post tomorow!
-
Yeah,if your coming with chris maybe you guys can come to my garage,I have plenty of beer and tools and ya know maybe we could..............drink and then maybe............wrench?
He's gonna come out by me first. I'll come down tomorrow- it just depends on how late were up here.
-
Actually I was thinking of buying the whole thing because I want to set it up so that I can put a DVD in your set up and run the navi on the avic screen...
Cool. Let me know.
-
That's cool,either way it will be cool to see in person.so does it just pop in where the two trays are now or is it more involved?
It's a custom made housing. You take out the tray piece with the lighters and then this one is caulked in. Joe made it for me. I'll bring it along.
24 hours!!! -
That's a good deal. I have almost the same set-up but with an Alpine DVD changer. I like the mount on the underside of the seat. Good idea.
Yeah- it's kinda deep. I couldn't fit it anywhere else. There's solid support under the seats, so I put a 1/4 inch piece of plywood that spaces between the metal bars. It's nice because it's easy access from all seats in the truck and it was simple to do
-
would this be hard to install onto an avic z2?
Not at all, however, you wouldn't need the Aux input or the DVD player. I'm not really interested in parting it out.
Let me know
-
If you still have this sat. I'll take a look at it,I have an alpine deck so it would match.It wasn't in my plans but I have been leaning towards something like this.we'll see unless someone beats me to it.
I might install the new head unit tomorrow. If I do I'll prolly take everything out. I might head down your way tomorrow night with chris. I'll either still have it hooked up- or I'll make sure I bring it.

how super easy we talkin? no longer have stock radio....will that make it harder?
What aftermarket radio do you have?
-
I've never had an experience like THAT. I've also never been to a jiffy lube. There is a place in town we used to take the duramax trucks to get the oil changed. (10 qts of oil and a filter isnt worth doing yourself for the money) We left the place, went to do an estimate- only to find that when we got back to the truck there was a puddle underneath. They didn't tighten the drain plug with a wrench- it was just finger tight. What REALLY pissed me off, was:
1. having to climb under a 2005 truck in front of the customers house.
2. after checking the oil level, found that it was only a tiny bit under the fill level! Places like that suck. I've always changed my own oil in the SS. I'm thankful for that. There are definitely some crooks out there.
-
I don't think you'll have any problem selling your set up. I wish I didn't have other items I wanted or have bought. I'd be all over this.
Thanks man. I still have all the boxes and parts for everything. It's a super easy install. Should be a good deal for someone.
-
yes. its really not a problem. your computer is turning on and off in the truck. its part of the RAP module. dont worry bout it. it only does it when doors are opened and certain buttons are pushed. mine does it too.
I have an idea- buy my dvd player and screen!
-
Just as the title says- Thinking about selling the setup I have now. I've always liked the stock look with the factory radio, so adding the screen in the center console was perfect solution. I recently found a new head unit so I'm thinking of selling the stuff I have now.
Here are some pics:
I'd like to get around $500 for everything.
This includes the Monitor (Alpine TME-M710, $320)
The custom made housing- 6.0ss made it for me- I don't remember what I paid... it was atleast $100
Remote mount dvd player (Kenwood KD-VS210P, $199)
All the inputs to play sound through the factory radio which include:
(PXGM24 which creates 2 aux inputs for the factory radio, $200)
(PLD10 RCA signal level booster which matches the volume of the dvd player to other radio sources, $40 each. This keeps you from switching from the dvd to XM and blowing your ears apart. I have two, one for the DVD, the other is for my ipod.
(PTR7 which tricks the monitor into thinking the truck is in park. The screen will work while driving. ($50)
I think that about sums it up. Let me know if anyone is interested. It all adds up to about $950 worth of stuff.

its not just gas, it's copper too.....my friend just bought a house and is renovating it before he and his wife move in, someone broke in a window last night and cut all the fresh Romex and Copper piping out of the basement
Yeah- copper was crazy for a while. My dad is a contractor- We've never had anyone break into any of the houses... but I have heard of that happening to people around here. It's sad. Diesel is 4.11 a gallon by me. Kinda making it hard to run a business!!!!!

Love your avatar...isnt that from "the las t dragon" all that fighting to get the "GLOW"..lol
Damn, and I thought I was the only one who saw that movie back in the day. HAHAHAHAHA

PM Fast4Popper- he might have some pics of his setup. His are hooked up to his alarm. He can open the cover with the remote. Maybe he will chime in.

HAHA, PDB ...I love it. Mine is SSSmoke Eater for 2 reasons. Smoke Eater is another name for a firefighter and since I own a Silverado SS or SSS I decided to stick that on the front of it.
My nickname through H/S was Rabbit and is still my member name on some other forums. That ones a long story so I'll try and shorten it up. In HS I was bangin this broad at a concert with the windows cracked open and my friends drinkin on the tailgate. Obviously everyone knew what was going on and when she got out, one of our friends said..damn..you guys F**K like Rabbits. After that, the name stuck with me and my friends still call me rabbit to this day. We thought about this after I recieved my nickname and it also helps that I have big ears which is funny.
Nice!
All these old High School stories got me thinking about the good ol days. HAHA.

Congratulations....hes beautiful
Hes adorable. My brother and his wife just had a boy in December. I can't wait to have kids myself. -
My screen name is just a short version of Edward.
Well- here it goes. In High School I always used to call this girl chicken legs... mainly because she was toothpick skinny and she had CHICKEN LEGS. I'm not the skinniest guy on the planet- so she always called me Doughboy. So ThePDB stands for The Pillsbury Dough Boy. It's been around ever since.
