What did you do to your NNBS SSV/PPV today?

[2011SSVHOE]

Let's start a new thread here today.
Today, I kinda hard wired my dash cam. The reason for the post is if you have the SEO option TRW which is for the roof light, then you have a switched 12 volts at the overhead console'

What I did was to wire a 12 volt assy outlet to the wire that would power a roof light .I than plugged in the power adapter for the camera into the outlet. I hate ugly wires that's why I did the mod. I didn't cut the wires to the dash cam that's why in the post it sez Kinda. the wires fit good up there in the roof.

Looks good. I had a black widow muffler installed on my tahoe, I kept the rear silencer, so it does not sound loud; that's what i wanted. Today I'm going to pick up the rear OEM tow hitch from the junkyard, just need to get the correct shifter that goes with it or can i use the original one?

I installed LED high beams. And added a second amp for my rear door speakers.

Added a cabin filter, after giving some karma sutra to myself to get to it and the filter to get it in, i don't have very much confidence there even expanded and in there straight or even worth doing it. Gotta be a better way.

Finally got around to installing my ham radio into the new rig. Had the antenna installed (thank god for pre-drilled roof holes!).

Used a Ram mount to mount to the seat frame of the passenger seat. Much nicer than mounting it to the dash again I think.

I drove mine for the first time in a week. I've been in the mountains, riding around in a smaller cramped SUV. Glad to be back in control with lots of space! This thread will help keep me motivated though, I've taken a little break since doing the suspension work. I need to get inside and tackle a few things....

Found the DIC button and trim at junkyard today, had some spare time and installed it. Comparing both trims, using a Dremel tool wouldn't be that bad either.

Not bad, What did you have to give for that ? and what did it come out of ?, if you don't mind me asking.

How do you like your new DIC? LOL

I like the sticker that says without DIC hole.

Lol, bought it for $40 bucks including the DIC button LOL and came out of a 2007 tahoe. I noticed it has a leather steering wheel that I might purchase but there's nothing wrong with the steering wheel that I have, plus I don't want to make too many changes because I like the PPV look, that's why I'm also holding on the tow hitch swap for now.

Detailed engine bay and installed new intake.

We got a leather-wrapped wheel from someone on this list. It's a nice upgrade from the plastic one. Unless they're wanting a ton of money for it, I'd say go for it. I think you'll be glad you did.

Yea I got mine off of Ebay for 80 bucks, the best part is you now have the radio controls on the Wheel.

Swapped out the overhead console for one that had homelink. Plug and play. Didn't have to additional power like a Hyundai I tried to do it in.

I did that also , It was harder to programe the door opener than it was to change the panel.

 

[Super Sport]

I put the plates on, Ordered key fobs last week, I programmed them today. Also took center vent panel loose and plugged in DIC switch.
I'm going to pick up better seats tomorrow.

 

[badandyturbo]

Installed a backup camera and rock lights.

I checked my high dollar Firestone police pursuit tires on my Hunter road force balancer only to find out they are way out of spec on road force. The spec is 28 max pounds of road force, and the best one was 40, up to the worst at 77 pounds of road force, which is mostly run-out in the tire. Now what? Love the pursuit tires, but $1700+ for new ones isn't going to happen. Wish I had government money.

Balance them or get regular tires.
