OK, now that everyone has stroked the newbie..... :flipoff2:


Lift that pig about 4"

Then trash the POS roof rack (keep the Yakima though)
Call Christo and ask him to put on some real bumpers..

Rattle can those bling rims Black!

I may consider a lift to give me a little more room but that will be later down the road. The running board I usually think about but for some reason, I hadn't yet....thanks. I need the bike and ski rack definitely and good thing I never got rid of the rain gutter towers from the Blazer and Suburban. The total cost was zero dollars!

I did order some 6-1/2 component Focal speakers for the front that will be here in about a week. I have an old alpine and Kenwood 1/2 size eq that will fit in the stock radio place so I will install that as well. I will consider a 4 channel amp and place it behind the rear passenger panel in the back (after removing the "subwoofer and factory amp" if that's what they call it!!) There should be plenty of room in that cavity. I will, however need to probably cut out (carefully) the storage box to allow room for the amp. Ultimately, I want everything hidden (except for the deck).

The next thing on the list is to install my factory temp/compass rear view mirror. This should be pretty easy and just have the glass company glue on a tab to the windshield.

That's pretty much the short list for now. I think I will also get the center diff lock.....at $50 bucks, that's almost a given. Is it really just a plug and play install??

Beowulf......sorry, I can't paint the rims after that much money!!

Yes.

You'll want to do the C-Dan pin-7 mod which takes another 15 minutes.

15 minutes on the second go-round, but some of us took a little longer the first time! ;)


Do a search and read up on Pin 7. You'll see that you absolutely want to do this mod along with the CDL, as Beo has said.
