Changed it up a little! Got a great deal on the TBSS 24s. Had to replace one wheel and straighten a slight bend in one other. Sold the black wheels and put on new tires. The smoked lights were turning yellow and fading so I took this opportunity to update those also.

The door panels had some broken attachment tabs on the back. I replaced them also.

That arm rest is going to have to be replaced eventually. I didn’t see it until I had it all back together.


I have some updates coming on the Suburban soon also!

Sweet wheel set up!!

My arm rest wants to do the same thing in the same spot.

Must be the weak spot for the pulling on the handle. I like the darker grey/charcoal of the handle too.

Now you need to color math the bow tie to the wheels or billet. :)

Love those rims! Why can't you use your old armrests? You know they unbolt from the door panels.

Thanks man! Lol

I was thinking about a billet bow tie. If I run across one I might go ahead and buy it. I’m going to concentrate on the interior right now. Being the kid hauler for over a decade it needs a hard detail.

The old arm rest had the clip broke where the switch bezel met the door panel. Also the new door panels are off I believe a LT so they are two tone to match the dash. The arm rests were different colors.

Winner. Alas, it looks like he has chrome.

Billet would for sure be nice and complementary.

That Metallic spray would work, but it is a bit softer to work with the machine face and the painted spokes.

What do you think?

Yeah. I thought about that as I was typing. He's chrome, for sure. But he said Billet..... And i knew if I tagged you, a photo would appear. I win again!

Man your truck is clean! Love the color matching.

The silver is slightly off but only to you a few others. It pretty darn close.

In my case I think chrome or billet is the only way to go. If you guys know where to get one let me know. I looked briefly on eBay and wasn’t too impressed.

Not sure but I had an OBS the same color as @Fosscore. One of my favorite colors. When taken care of it has a great shine! That Tahoe had a billet bow tie. That picture was taken about 10 years ago. I feel like I’m getting old saying that. Haha
