My 5 Alarm Hoe

[PG01]

Got it whenever u want it @Cattivo

 

[05Single]

The Hoe is full of boxes that need to be installed but the weather has stopped me dead in my tracks the last few weeks...with 2 feet of snow expected tomorrow, it doesn't look like I will be getting anything done anytime soon

Does anyone know if they make/made a cargo cover for an '01 Tahoe??? I park in the heart of NYC and would hate to find my windows smashed and everything stolen. I really don't have anywhere else to store everything at this time...for now I have a black blanket covering everything to detour thieves, Either that or leave both my pits in the truck all day lol

Repack them in inconspicuous boxes,....diaper boxes, baby toy boxes, exc....
Don't have unopened tyc , holley, k&n , gm accessories, pioneer, exc boxes just chillin back there

I'll have to look again, it's packed with stuff back there...maybe I didn't look in the right spot

 

[Cattivo]

Yup, we all have them, just like belly buttons! Just gotta make sure the cover is for a Tahoe. If it's for a suburban, XL, etc, it won't fit. Why not just put the boxes inside the house? Tahoe covers are pretty rare, you don't really see a lot of them for sale. I sold a nice black one and I regret it!

I had a ton of stuff stored in my spare bedroom but my wife threatened me with violence and said she will toss everything in the garbage if not removed ASAP! lol

I really wanted a black cover so it would match the rest of the interior once I finish it that is...not really a fan of the pewter or whatever it's called interior I have now

I repacked a lot of the stuff in plain boxes but now I have shit (mods) for all 3 trucks all mixed together

The side clip things are black but its tan vinyl and it rolls up and i really don't think anything will stick to it. Can you dye vinyl, i dont know, interior paint maybe but i think itll flake off. I dont know bud, i got it if you want it. Lmk, no big deal if not. Be safe in this crap weather if you have to work.

I may hold off until I can find a black cover, I doubt it can be dyed but thanks anyway brother. Luckily I'm still out on disability from knee surgery but it's not too bad out there...idiot weathermen scared the living shit out of everyone for only a foot of snow, supposed to be worse up in the boonies 2 feet or more. I should of been a weatherman, get paid to be consistently wrong and create mass hysteria lol

Stay safe out there brother

 

[PG01]

No prob man.

The 'boonies'.........lolol

I froze my ass off for a few hours chopping up my lower dash so I can finally install a couple of 52mm gauges along with a few rocker switches. Not really sure how I want to position everything just yet...everything is going to be wrapped in 4D carbon fiber so I'm not too worried about scratches as long as everything is smooth

Here it is with a rough cut

Broke out the dremel to smooth out all the sharp edges

Test fitting the abs plastic trim piece after applying lots of heat to get the top to bend and contour into the right shape with a heat gun

I started caulking it into place but it started snowing again...to be continued

 

[PG01]

How'd u make out with the intake, knock sensors, etc?

 

[Cattivo]

I haven't replaced anything yet, still waiting for it to warm up...this ****** weather is killing me! lol

 

[PG01]

Me and you both brother......

I really like how that's coming along. Where did you get the plastic sheet from?

Thanks, I bought it on ebay for $6 a sheet(12''x12'') I bought 5 sheets... stuff is pretty thick but with enough heat and patience you can get it to bend however you want.

BLACK ABS PLASTIC SHEET 1/8" - 1 SHEET USED FOR CUSTOM WORK ON PANNELS AND CAR | eBay

I figured since that was just dead space and I have no use for 2 cigarette lighters, might as well utilize it for something useful

 

[Tonyrodz]

Not even for the power points?

 

[Cattivo]

I'll reuse the power from the cigarette lighters for an USB port and 1 of the 52mm voltage gauges
