New clear headlights and parking lights should be here next week. Plan on candying the tail lights at the same time so we will see how that goes. I did get my TB adapter for my intake swap but it was the wrong one. Got the right one ordered and hopefully can get started on that soon

Update on the intake. I finally got the right damn adapter and the nipple to bypass the coolant line under the throttle body. I decided the easiest route (for me) to go with this is to extend my factory fuel rail. This way I won't have to convert to returnless fuel filter nor buy injector adapters. I literally need two 2" pieces of stainless steel 1/2" line and can't find crap local. Short week at work from the holidays did away with spending money so hopefully I can find some in the next week or two

Can someone chime in on drop opinions. I don't really know that I want to slam it I'd rather just bring the back down level the keys were cranked quite a bit when I got it so I figured I could come down a few turns on them..

Been pretty quite around the holidays. Not a whole lot of extra cash to do much so things on the Tahoe have been slow. I did however order some alpine 6 1/2s for all the doors. I'm pleased with them for the price and beats the hell out of the front blown speakers and the rear ones not even functioning lol..

Picked this early cluster up blindly meaning didn't know mileage or if it worked...mileage sat at 291k and every needle on it was off so after adjusting them everything works. I really haven't made my mind up if I want to keep it,use it for parts and build a cluster, or just sale. Decisions decisions lol

Well I haven't done much research, I figure I would save money and mod my stock rails. But aftermarket rails do make a difference in performance.

it'll be cheap either way but that's going to the back burner trans acts funny from 2-3 shift when it's down in the 20s and when it warms up it quits so not sure what the deal is with that

LEDs for the cluster came in today. Figured I'd go ahead and throw it all in and I'm happy with the result. Also ordered mcgauphys 3" springs and relocators from NorCal. Hoping I'll like just the 3" in the rear and torsion bats turned down to factory level.

Fog lights came in finally. Got them put in just to find out I have a pigtail that's been ripped off. Hopefully parts store will have one. Got rid of the ****** 10 series and got a magna flow. Ended up having to cut up a bunch of old stock truck run outs but I made it work with what I had

Got my 3" rear drop from @NORCAL SS was very simple and straight forward. Let me start by saying my mind is blown by how much better this thing handles. I really like the stance it has. I was able to get a little rakeg off of just lowering the factory bars. The ride in the rear is a little stiff with the zw7s still back there but hopefully I can get some factory replacements this week sometimes. Overall very very happy with this. I wanted to go lower but family comes first and this is what I had the money to do for the time being.
