All done, not the prettiest looking thing but it's secure, I put the switch under the hood, original harness is all intact so I could move into the cab later if I add other things.

took it up to Hollister Hills SVRA, went up one road that the running boards were scraping on so I aired up the airlift bags and made clearance but got up the road a little farther and it was just too sketchy so I was backing up and one of the airbags blew out, thought I had maybe hit something and popped a tire but luckily it was just an airbag, I only had 70psi in it and there supposed to be good to 100psi. I am not sure if it's under warranty or not, find out tomorrow I guess.
OP

4wheel parts is going to warranty it for me, no charge
Shit I run my bags up to 200psi but they’re Slam Specialties.
OP
OP
ya I don't know what happened, I had it 70 psi and was backing up and pop!, the guy at 4wheel parts just ordered another one and they will warranty it for me and install a new one at no charge, I had to pull the fuse for the pump because it just kept running since the system would not hold pressure it just kept showing 1-2-3-2-3-1 psi I was hoping it was just a line that came off but the bottom of the drivers side bag is blown out of the bottom seal, maybe it was just a defect.

went up with a few people to try out a trail and got hung up on the 1st obstacle, mainly my steps but the frame scraped a bit as well, will have to try again with 35's and sliders instead of steps, backed out and let the rest go by then we went up the mountain a few more miles and went on some roads I could go on spent 3-4 hours exploring so it wasn't a wasted trip, never mind the screaming kid, lol
big rattlesnake ohv

OP
I tried a couple different ways and got hung up either way, o'well kind of glad I didn't get past that spot because there were worse ones ahead
full size problems, lol
OP
OP
bought a metra DSP and T-harness for it, I have been using hi/lo adapters which works ok but this will give me a multitude of options that can be programmed with a phone app
Yeah that will work way better.

lost the keys! and after spending 2-3 hours looking for them turned out the 3yr old took them and had stashed them in a drawer, I was like damm that's going to be around $300+ to replace because it's a reverse cut chip key that requires 2 to program a new one otherwise it has to go to the dealer and I only have 1 spare, plus the viper alarm fob that's like $80 and the oem fob that also has to be programmed by the dealer and I had changed that to a aftermarket case. I keep my house keys separate because I don't like having a giant @ss set of keys in my pocket

spent 1/2 the day yesterday running rca cables and a amp turn on wire and changed out some speakers in my sub box, went to hook up the axxess dsp I bought and all the POS does is make static spent a while troubleshooting it but it's just f-u-b-a-r
so this morning I bought a PAC AP4-GM61 it works great, doesn't quite have all the features the axxess unit would have had but it sure cleaned up the sound and bypasses the bose amp, you can tune it with a laptop via usb but I didn't have to change much the sound was pretty good right out of the box in fact all I changed was the sub crossover from 100hz to 80hz and turned the startup volume a hair. $400+ module but it works like I wanted so can't complain. Sure made a difference in the bass, seat massage function is enabled, lol

swapped out the dual 8ohm for dual 4ohm that allows me to run 1ohm which helped also, I initially had 2 4ohm but I wired them wrong and burnt them up when I first did the install that was $500+ down the drain.

finally pressed the blue button again and got my "connected services" straightened out, I was not able to log in with the radio and there was nothing shown on my account on gm, the first guy I talked to said I had to have a onstar data plan to use it which was b.s. but he transferred me a gm account rep that got it fixed so I have the "limited" free services and I can use my hotspot I have in the glove box for it, so now I can stream music and don't have to have my phone connected and it doesn't cost me anything from onstar.

added wireless android auto to the stock radio
Motorola MA1, seems to work pretty well so far, set it up once and it automatically connects every time.

Been looking for one of these. Bought a highly advertised Chinese brand like 2 years ago. Ended up being total junk. I’d feel better going with a trusted name
Edit. Bummer looks like android only
OP
OP
if you have a head unit oem or aftermarket that has "wired" android auto then adapter this makes it wireless. your phone must have android 11 or later.
not for apple.
