The tails came with some LED bulbs that are pretty bright, but nowhere near 1200 lumens I'm sure. You have a link for those? I found these the other day https://dieselleds.com/collections/...-b-led-revere-light-kit-2100-lumens-chevy-gmc and thought about pulling the trigger, but $50 is kinda steep for bulbs to me.

I’ve been eye balling these and some others like these on Amazon for awhile now and just cant seem to pull the trigger either. Would love for someone to compare these to the standard LEDs we all order.

I found the same ones on Amazon and since they're like $34 instead of $55, I might try em. If I do, I'll post some before and after. Still need to get those vids up of the exhaust cut outs like I said I would too.

These are the ones I'm using. They light it up bright enough for the reverse camera to see a good 20 feet behind the truck. Probably the best $20 I've spent on the XL.

Finally got around to installing a catch can since everyone and their mom is doing it. I went with a cheap one from Amazon if you can believe that. http://a.co/d/15Moslg Mounted it to the fuse box since it seemed the easiest place to access it when it comes time to empty it. I wish it didn't have that stupid engraved crap on the top, but oh well. Guess I need to clean up the engine bay a little too, but a dirty, working engine always makes me happier than a clean, non-working one...

Started building my new 12" ported down-firing Subwoofer box/enclosure for behind the 3rd row too. I have a cheap pre-fabbed box that has done me well for a few years now, but I've been wanting to build my own forever. Just used 3/4 MDF, wood screws, and Titebond 3 wood glue. Should be tuned right at about 36Hz and the airspace is about 4 cu ft total. I'm getting black carpet to cover it today to match the black carpet that I'm installing in the Tahoe in a few months. I haven't installed the bracing, sanded it down, installed the banana jack binding posts (for sub wiring), or the port tubes yet, so she's still a work in progress. Should have it all wrapped up this weekend. Fits like a glove back there.

That’s going to be a nice clean setup, and should be really musical as well tuned at 36hz.

Yeah I hope so, I have these Pioneer TS-W3003D4 12" subs going in there that have really been awesome speakers, especially for the price.
