    Touchscreen secondary laptop screen as a headunit?

    I got to thinking... I've seen secondary screens that link to a laptop via USB cables, they can both mimic the screen displayed or be used as a second screen. Now, I've also seen them as being touchscreen, too. Since I mostly use my phone as my music source, can a touchscreen secondary screen...

    Raptor Lining Black Betty

    Am going to be doing the same with mine, but the whole damn thing will be Bimini Blue. That is, after I attach the Avalanche plastic side moldings to cover up some of the dents and "non-essential rust repairs". Avalanche door skins, rear quarter panel skins, rear bumper cover, and cutout pocket...

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Picked up a set of rear vent appliques off a 2002 Esky for $25, they are going on my 04 XL. He also has the rear glass and third brake light, said he'll pull it for me this week and I can have it for $40. While bullshitting with the guy, he said he does a LOT of GM tear downs / strip downs...

    '05 Tahoe aftermarket wider running boards

    I found a couple of sets that are 5-7" wide on Auto Anything, and on Amazon.

    Ideas for Custom Box

    This is the basic idea of what I'm redoing. With this console, the forward section is a sealed enclosure that I had two old Kenwood 10's sealed as lower midbass, running off a Lightning Audio 1K (but only a legit 250 watts). Not going to change much as far as the general shape, just going to...

    Ideas for Custom Box

    Have gotten rid of the Powerbass subs, and have stepped up to a pair of American Bass XR10's, being pushed by a Soundqubed S1-2250 @ 1 ohm. Also have a single XR10 that will be in the rebuild of my center console, pushed by a S1-1250, also at 1 ohm. During the rebuild, am fabricating an amp rack...

    Avalanche Trim (long read, sorry - but would like opinions)

    Haven't been on the forum in a while, life has taken precedent. Don't have to sit in front of a computer filling out forms, am actually out working and living - yeah, I know, just the opposite of what everyone else is doing. Anyway, I was walking through a salvage yard, saw an Avalanche and a...

    Ford Keys

    I actually have the Ford leveling keys for a 98-00 Expedition in my XL. Yes, they will work, but I have them pretty much de-cranked to the point where I could just roll without the bolts. I think from the actual point where the keys start to move when turning the bars in, I may have 1 1/2" turns...

    Fog lights upgrade?

    Had these for two years, vibration killed one of the brackets, and salt eroded the paint. Plan on putting it about a foot behind and under the rear bumper, will be great for backup lighting. Have since got some that are rated as 480W each (40 bulbs @ 12w each), they are noticeably brighter...

    Finally getting somewhere on my speaker box build

    and more. Console is now carpeted, two tones of gray. Lower portion (base) still needs to be finished, will be doing some black vinyl. Also have some blue LEDs to put in the base, have light come from the "port" holes. I know that the way i have it built, I'm effectively making a 4th order...

    Finally getting somewhere on my speaker box build

    Also did a center console for a pair of 10's for lower midbass (60-100hz).

    Finally getting somewhere on my speaker box build

    Have done the same thing in a few of my vehicles, as I'm a General Contractor, and can't afford to give up space. My '88 S-10 Blazer, '90 Suburban, '96 Tahoe, '01 Suburban, and now my '04 Yukon XL. Here's a few of my XL:

    Installing a new 6" lift kit on my Hoe

    I have 2 1/2" hubcentric spacers on the rear of my XL, haven't had any problems whatsoever. Previously had them on my '96 Tahoe, so I've been running them for about 6 years now.

    305/70-16 on Alcoa

    Should fit fine, with nothing more than a T-bar crank. You might have to trim the inner fender liner a bit, depending on your wheel offset. 285/75/16's on stock wheels don't rub, I had just a slight rub at full lock while backing up, but my 16x8 wheels have 1 1/4" less backspacing than stock.

    ABS Plastic formed quarter panels?

    I just can't justify spending over $1500 to have my rocker panels and quarter panels replaced. I saw a link to the Bushwacker rocker panel covers, they are just some molded plastic. So, I thought I'd order some ABS plastic, and attempt to heat it up and mold it to the contours of the rear...

    Headers, exhaust and maybe tune-Advice

    found these on E-Bay, but at that price (for T-304 Stainless???), I'm hesitant.... https://www.ebay.com/itm/STAINLESS-LIGHT-MANIFOLD-HEADER-Y-PIPE-EXHAUST-YUKON-SIERRA-CHEVY-SUBURBAN-GMC/200933637073

    My Boom Box

    I would have been able to go with subs with a deeper mounting depth/ larger magnet, but I needed to recess the subs in and have the grille protect them. Debris from removing/indtalling doors and tools in the back would destroy cones real quick without the grille.

    What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    That's exactly what I was about to say. I know from experience - the day before driving to Marco Island, Florida from NY, I lost a wheel while doing 65mph on a 4-lane highway. Thankfully I had noticed some weird handling and was slowing down to pull over to check, was doing about 40 when the ass...

    My Boom Box

    Deadened between the inner and outer quarter panels with spray foam, then I scuffed up the metal with sandpaper to give it some tooth. I then used PowerGrab adhesive to hold the wood pieces in place against the metal, and used a few screws to secure while the PG dried. The PG adhesive is...

    My Boom Box

    I know Sundown makes excellent gear, both amps and speakers. But, checking here: http://sundownaudio.com/index.php/subwoofers/sa-series I saw that the sensitivity is only 81.0 and 81.6 for the dual 2 and dual 4 10's respectively. Taking that into consideration, and again, all other things...

    My Boom Box

    I made a recessed panel to mount them on, it's in about 2" from the grille. The grill itself has flanges on each of the four sides, it can be press-fit into place, it's that snug. But I have some pan head cabinet screws holding it on anyway. I planned ahead, and allowed for some subs with more...

    My Boom Box

    I'm thinking I may have pushed the subs too hard, these are only rated at 275 rms and 550 peak. IF my amp pushes its rated power, I've been running 500rms to each. Looking for some high-efficiency 10's that can handle 600-1000rms, without breaking the bank. The only subs I've found so far are...
