So much easier finding parts for a non-Denali truck!

Grabbed some clips off the window cowl. Thought the window guy didn’t replace them but apparently GM never put clips on the sides, just on the front portion. So I put some there anyway. But he did forget the screw on the end, I have extra I put

these are the front clips

I HATE people that you pay to do something, never put all of the bolts, screws, plates or anything else--back. They just leave it empty or hanging. People suk.

Yea I haven’t been excited about something that much since Christmas ‘89

I was there watching him too. So I mostly blame myself. Funny thing is I removed the mirror to help him with install . I knew I should’ve removed the cowl too

A pro at anything in Alaska is a joke. Thanks for the laugh

Plugged up some holes, put in the new used mats lol . I will end up getting new mats once I find a set I like

Out with the old and in with the new. When I ordered the morimoto projectors I also got a morimoto xb hid kit. I had already installed the morimoto bulbs to the old hid set up. Today I removed the old ballasts and installed the morimoto harness. Pretty high quality kit. Took the time to really pick out where I wanted to run all the wires. End result only 1 wire is showing, feeling pretty accomplished , having the second battery helped. These ballasts should be more reliable and send the correct power to the bulbs which means brighter output and also cut the warm up time by half if not more. Before I had a barely noticeable constant light flicker with the previous basic hid setup. With the new harness that eliminated it.

Redid the puddle lights . I committed a crime in the GM world. Had to be done. Sacrificed for these eagle eyes.


I’ll plastidip the oem lens part to hide it and make it blend in. Nobody will see it except cats, dogs , and small children and little people and chickens because they can’t fly
