And the natural light in the rooms makes them look lavender, but its a very neutral "taupe" color.
Thanks for the compliments.
Ahhhhh...I see now. Very cool man, throw some different colors in there ( i hate neutral colors)The garage will be sweet man, i like the vintage stuff, you could also get some old tins of coke or beer brands.

good stuff, whats with the last pic- it looks like the visors caught on fire???
I got a little trigger happy when I was dying the visor plastics. Its going to get wrapped up but I did not want tan pieces left ;)

Looks great man, but i have to ask....
is this room lavender?

Make sure the people who are doing it put the SS badge on the right side and the right way.

Well I remember when I pulled up with my shiny new SS to the local meets...and everyone all excited to look under the hood. Well no one really saw anything since it was at night and our trucks did not come with underhood lights.
Our trucks do not have footwell lights either which both my friends S-10 and 2001 silverado have. Either way I always thought about adding these little items but never thought it out or really looked for it.
Except for today.
The underhood light is a model Chevy used since the 70's ( i think) and you can find them on ebay. It reels out to about 20 feet and mine has a magnet and a little suction cup so you can stick it anywhere really. It has an "on" and "off" swtich and IMO is awesome. If you find one and it does not have the plug, you need a coolant temperature sensor pigtail which is a few bucks.
Quick sidenote I got the idea of the footwell lights on gmfullsize or fullsizechevy...cant remember which.
Some trucks have it and some dont, but look under your dash on either side near the door, there should be a little socket/plate where you can add the bulb socket, then just wire it in (FUSE IT) to your BCM. If anyone wants the write up I can grab it from the other site. Did not take long and was rather cheap.
yes my truck is dirty...
another mod I did was the L.E.D. brakelights the same lights a number of people have on the site. I found a darker pair and they have grown on me. They are a bit smoked. These things rock....period. Resistors are built in and they work flawlessly and are similar to the escalade lights. The third brake light is also very nice and bright. Even the cargo light.
Finally I took Steves advice and ditched the goodyears. Picked up Nitto 420s' in stock size...but now i wish i had gotten them bigger. They ride much better, stays tighter in the corners and is just more enjoyable. Even better on hard roads. great tire.

Pics Of Your "toys"

That looks really nice, I recently did something similar and now need to get on the ball with landscaping.

History repeating itself. Check out the history of steam cars. They were faster, cheaper and more reliable than gas engines at one time. Guess why they never made it.
Guess why we dont have federal public transportation.....
-
any idea of what you want to do (how adventurous/open to new things are you?) throw at some more ideas.
-
hey thanks everybody and i love the taillights they are superbright
I have the same tails, freaking love em
-
Why 35 mm? Are you shavinh cost. I used a rebel before but made the jump to DSLR....and love it
-
I guess i am bucking the trend of this post, but i aint feelin it. doesnt do anything for me. its too short on the sides, maybe if some custom fab work was done to extend it to the wheel well, it might look better.
as for a group buy, the thing is 30 bucks, how much cheaper do you want it??
Yup, to the wheel wells would look nice. However it does look nice at angles.
And a group buy would not work, it looks like it costs more to ship it then what its worth.

Is there any coral where you dive?
mostly brain/stony coral, i have seen pictures of giant montipora but its been hard catching some of the crazy stuff. a couple of soft coral ive seen ricordia in a few dive spots. sadly Caribbean coral has been on a decline over the past years. There has been stiff regulations which has limited pirating of coral. But they are just dying now
However, there are still some spots that have a good amount. I will try and get into a few wrecks in the upcoming weeks
-
Search for parkour it was made in france in the 80's a lot more crazy stuff on this.
-
Dave, before I started scuba diving I used to be able to get down to 30 feet no prob and stay there bout 30 seconds 25 feet a bit longer. No its only down to about 20-25 feet and 30 seconds is pushing it. Scuba got me lazy
Its not good at all....and to be honest im a big wuss and fear shallow water blackout. Leftcoast, yeah Vis was great it was about 50 early on in the day then got a bit worse as it picked up but sitll great.
Wrestler, I am more on an observer however yeah my buddies def got into it
one of the hogfish
thanks everyone for the kind words, I have been thinking of picking this up as a hobby and may get an underwater housing soon for my digital I might suit up soon in full gear and that will give me the opportunity to really get better pictures.
heres a pic of the water

Hey all Im traveling a bit around now and decided to have a slow day. The day before I left a few of my friends and I went out on the boat to do some free diving/spear fishing. Luckily someone had a camera so here are some of the pics of the misc. wrecks.
wreck 1 100 ft schooner
wreck 2 100-ish foot boot cut in half
the photos are devoid of color since the there was no flash. but you get the idea.
both the moray and the nurse shark were a lot of fun to play wiht and allowd me to get pretty close. got to arm length distance to the nurse and just cruised with her for a few seconds. the eel was like 6-7 feet and the shark was close to 6. First time I saw a nurse moving about like a shark and not sleeping.

Eagle one all in one tire and wheel cleaner. You will be amazed how much gunk comes off with a brush. Oh yeah you need a tire brush (the stiffer bristles one) Happy scrubbing.

But thanks fellas it was a good night of good ol bbq and just hanging out.

Weather is definetly changing....hopefully its just a cycle.....

No one has trashed your truck....we just stated something that would help you sell it faster thats all....
Were just looking for your best interest. I agree with everyone else. Cleaning the truck up and getting rid of some of the personalization can go a long way. As well as good pictures with good lighting. It will make it "appear" much better then anyone else SSS. I remember when you first got your truck and everyone was happy bout it (for you) back then. Only opinion that has changed is that you dont want it anymore so dont get mad with constructive criticism.
Lighten up

Bump for a great price
-
It would be good to get actual pictures of the hoods. I have seen "goodmark" hoods when under close inspection/comparison they were knockoffs.
You would have to ship these off with freight. It would be a big box....
and without an busisness account...$$$$$$$

looks good wondering what would look good on a black truck...............
