3 or 4 weeks I would be mad it can be done in 2 days by a shop.

Yeah I'm not happy I can't even get a call back on it. I know it don't take this long to get damn trans parts if it was a uncommon trans sure but a 2000 Tahoe trans no..

Go and get it and take it somewhere else.

Why would you trust a a shop to do the job right, if they do not even return a call or try to make the customer happy?

Not sure how you ended up there in the first place?

Just bought it yesterday. Ordered spyder red/clear led tails, front grill and esky vent caps.

Just got it yesterday and already found some Esky Vent Caps?

Hope you did not pay a fortune for them as it usually takes a while to find some used ones.

These 9011 hir are actually Phillips and 10 bucks apiece cheaper

Oops didn't read that right, just realized yous were $24 for the pair

They are sold as "wagner" brand from rock auto. Open the box and they are Philips bulbs. Philips is the only company making "hir's" atm. $9 a piece at rockauto plus shipping is pretty good.

The guy has done work for me before but I've never left anything there for something like this. He said it should be done by Friday hopefully guess we'll see he said he was working on it today.

That's not too bad. I found some for $140 on ebay over Christmas, and I've been searching forever. They're actually at the shop getting painted right now, should be ready on Friday.

Anyways, I installed some extra backup lights today. Pro Burners at Walmart for $20. Still got halogen bulbs in them, though. I need to find some stupid bright H3 LEDs. Anyone got any recommendations?

I also replaced my broken rear hatch assist strap.

Next up, under body LEDs that light up with the puddle lights...

Dang, you got a deal. Did you have a shop paint them or did you do it yourself? Awesome truck, btw

Thanks very much.

A good friend of mine has a shop and he painted them together with the Esky Roof Rack End Caps and the 3rd Brakelight Trim Piece for me.

You could snag small led light bars for ~$30 http://www.amazon.com/Off-road-Head...im_auto_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=13FQFD57DT2WANH93JBK
Purchasing halogen lights and swapping bright LED bulbs costs more than that.

That being said I dig your install.

Both those are possibilities. I was just trying to keep it as clean looking as possible. I'm not a fan of the exposed led look. That said, those are definitely cleaner looking than 90% of the led pods I've seen
