Sad to see Tahoe go but looks like you got a cream puff for more work. AK. to AZ. That is a hell of a move. Watch out for the "coyote" runners. I lived in Vegas one time for 9 months. Longest hot period of my life. Yes, no humidity but damn it gets hot. I heard the best place to go have fun at is the Lake Havasu area.

Yea I can’t wait to check out lake havasu. And I’ll be sure to keep an eye out on those child smuggling coyotes

Nice to see you made the move. Nice find on that truck and great work on it so far too. I have 100% faith that you’ll be fine and everything will work out awesome for you, because you’ll make sure it does. I’m happy for you!:hands:

Fog lights needed attention badly. That’s not dirt that’s pitting. Decided to give these a shot. Different style and they look pretty good. They’ll do for now till I figure out what I want for fogs. I’ve been spoiled with the Tahoe lighting and I feel like a peasant :insane:

Got the new console top in. Super easy swap. Tons of vids on YouTube. You can see the hinges that broke and the last couple that are cracked. But a 5 minute swap and back in business

Started messing with the stereo. Nothing wrong with it, just wanted to add rca cables and amp remote for a sub later . Seen the wiring and decided to remove all the twist connectors and soldered everything. Later I’ll remove the old crux and bypass a lot of this crap when I replace the speakers. It’s a non-Bose so I’m not sure why it needs all this, maybe for steering controls :shrug:. Disconnected the annoying ding speaker.

Filled in the letters. One coat followed by a second coat. I’ll do a 3rd later this week.

You could always wet sand and polish the old lenses. Just so you'll have a backup to play with.

Is that a metal latch on that console lid? That’s what I hate about the NNBS console lids- the weak plastic latch that always breaks.

Late night oil change .
