I was looking for something like that but could not really find anything. Do you have any links to them?

Midnyteryder196 · Jan 24, 2015

The strips? Or where guys had used the strips?

I saw it in the led mod thread I believe where guys had used em..

BlazingTrails · Jan 24, 2015

Either or both lol :yes:

Midnyteryder196 · Jan 24, 2015

BlazingTrails · Jan 24, 2015

Midnyteryder196 · Jan 24, 2015

I'm on it, that has got to be the problem. I will tear it back apart and strip the blue off and see how it looks. Thanks, I tried searching this stuff but there is like 10k post in the led mod thread so.......

Midnyteryder196 · Jan 24, 2015

Haha yeah I kinda remembered round about which page mine was on n just jumped around on few pages to find the rest lol

Very clean build! Definitely the look im going for, with some performance mods and nothing crazy. :thumbsup:

Oil pressure gauge is sweet. Is that hooked up using Lime's oil pressure switch to 1/8 NPT doohickey?

No I wanted to keep the stock sensor hooked up as well. I got a sandwich plate adapter thing off eBay for $21.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Nice build bro!!!
The one thing that caught my attention was the fact that you modified your upper control arms for the drop. Can you elaborate on that? I have been thinking of how i can do the same to mine and not have to spend 400 bones on new ones lol

Basically I stretched them 3/4" and kicked the end down about 15 degrees. not much to it, just got to make sure they are strong.

Thanks for the comment! :thumbsup:

Well I recently added some goodies! I got a 2009 TBLT front bumper, SS grill, and complete SS rear bumper. They are going to be painted white, but I decided to go ahead and put them on my truck so that we could use my bumpers on the 04 EXT. I think it still looks pretty good with the bumpers being black BUT they are definitely going to be white. I also ditched the factory fan on favor of this sweet aluminum shroud and dual 14" fan setup I got for $200. my factory fan failed and I opted for more space under the hood.

The picture shows the fans before the installation was complete, I will get more pictures later as time permits.

:tiphat:

Here's a few more pics I pulled from my camera, I ditched the stock antenna and installed a "hidden" one. There's a pic of my tranny coolers, before I combed the fins.

Lovein the headlights!! What happened to the ss front bumper?

BlazingTrails · Apr 8, 2015

I wanted the better fogs from the Lt. Aarkon is building some projectors for me.

blazinbuckeye · Apr 8, 2015

I see..interested to see these new headlights if there better than these.

BlazingTrails · Apr 9, 2015

What headlights did you get? BTW if I come across a ss bumper I will probably get it and out mine on the 04. I could not find any in good shape. New is over $700 + paint. I had parts everywhere waiting to go on and got the Lt brand new for $258. I wanted projector fogs too so that was the last straw.

blazinbuckeye · Apr 10, 2015

I haven't got any headlights yet.. don't know what I wanna do as far as hid or led. Got hid's in for now. Don't really care for them as there in the factory housing. Definitely want fogs though so gotta figure that out as well. I also hate the the ls rear bumper. Lol

Mounce · Apr 10, 2015

Hit up Aarkon :wink:

BlazingTrails · Apr 10, 2015

It will prolly be a while, he is covered up right now lol

blazinbuckeye · Apr 10, 2015

Interested in seeing some of his work. .

Mounce · Apr 10, 2015

Brandon's headlights = a fine example of his work

blazinbuckeye · Apr 10, 2015

Oh wow! Dude is does good work. How much does he charge?

Aarkon (Ryan) does amazing work for a great price. You can see his work in the threads below. As mentioned, Ryan built Brandon's badass headlights.

BlazingTrails · Apr 24, 2015

Upgraded from another cracked manifold with a 2009 model.

BlazingTrails · Apr 25, 2015

Shocking news! I decided to post a couple shots of my really dirty engine bay. Comments welcomed.

Aarkon · Apr 25, 2015

Haha man you would hate me since I havent cleaned the tb since I first bought it nor the envoy

DAlastDON · Apr 26, 2015

I never thought about putting heat wrap around the CAI. You ever thought about putting something like techflex over the heat wrap to dress it up?

fletch09 · Apr 27, 2015

not so bad, i've seen worse.

HARDTRAILZ · Apr 27, 2015

Clean enough to eat off of compared to mine. :wink:

I kinda like the look of it. But it is not so much for looks anyway. Thanks for the comments guys. :smile:

mcsteven · May 3, 2015

Dang - I haven't seen your ride for a while. I saw the pic in "what did you park beside" thread and was going to ask if those treads were wrapped around 20s or 22s. Checked the build thread and found out. Coming along fantastic, btw.

BlazingTrails · May 3, 2015

There is also one for the 04 :smile:
