I’m on the fence about the locks, not sure I really need them where I live. And with all the “how to remove wheel locks in 30 seconds” videos out there not sure they are worth it. Probably better to just not leave my vehicle alone in sketchy places. Or since I am getting the dash cams just get the parking record wiring harness so the camera turn on when ever something bumps the vehicle while it’s parked.

Also I ordered the overhead triple gauge pod this morning. Should be here in a week or two, it’s sold for 99-06 full size gm vehicles, everything I see is people using them in HD trucks, so for now just wanting to test fit and make sure I like it.

Still trying to decide on what gauges to run. I know I want a nice Transmission temp gauge, the other 2 can be cheap but I dont even know what I want to monitor, maybe fuel pressure would be cool. And even more not sure what brands to go with, AutoMeter is pricey, dont know if $150+ per gauge is worth it? Mostly it’s a lack of expierence with gauges, if that’s the going price for nice long lasting accurate gauges I guess that’s what I will have to pay.

Thats sounds a bit high,...thinking you can get a quality gauge for less. I used to like to monitor intake vacuum,.. you'd be surprised how much gas you can save by watching intake volume.

Finally took the roof rack off, lol. Gonna need some paint correction under where the mounts sat. Nothing a little high grit compound won’t fix. Will have the factory screws in for now need to go get flush screws tonight or tomorrow.

Took my little motorcycle trailer to work today, gave me a chance to get a good photo.

Had some free time at work, did a sig for now until the new wheels and tires get here and we go do the photo shoot and take nice photos. Sucks that they have to be so small the font I built has some crazy texture.

Thanks guys, as some might know my degree is in Graphic Arts and 3D Animation. But honestly I never spent a lot of time playing with typography. It was fun to dive in and build my own stylized font. I’d love to help @Sevenevez with the sig request if he ever needs a hand.

I’d love to have boost that needed gauging. Maybe I get the gauge first then tell the fiancée my boost is broken and needs replacing but I didn’t know that until I had the gauge. And then buy a Supercharger. Bahahahaha

Sweet. I just gave you your 5,335th! But yeah, I noticed this morning I was getting close to that milestone! Looks like I might be the first to hit 10,000 if things keep going like they are. @HiHoeSilver said he's just going to smash like on every one of my posts to help get me there. Speaking of that...lol.

Overhead triple gauge pod showed up tonight. Did a sloppy test fit I like it, needs color match. But viewing angle and fitment are perfect.

Figure out which gauges you wanna do yet?

Nope, transmission temp is all that I care about right now. Once I do the motor I know I will want to monitor boost and fuel. I did find some cool gauges that plug into the OBD2 and let you select 2 things at a time to display, and you can display anything the OBD2 reads.

So maybe a trans temp, fuel pressure, and a OBD2 gauge. Idk

Have a link to those obd gauges?

Looking good man. Good choice on the gauge mount. Was going to mention they sell some that go in the factory oem location but forgot the suvs have the rear air controls there.
