[Aarkon]

Got my led mirror inserts today from txblazer caint wait to install them

 

[blazinlow89]

This is and a set of LED tails are probably one of the easiest and cheapest ways to update the look of the back of the trucks. Mine is running 2 years with issues. Now I need to order one for the Avalanche.

some say 02-06 and then some say 07-12 so just making sure

Order 2 and send me the extra one.

It does, I was frantic in contacting Mark after installing the lift and realizing I used the big washers with my install.

Nothing wrong with a few beers with some car work, just means you get more practice. And more beer.

I thought I was going to see more Avalanche third brake lights! Not other work completed... Is this a build thread?

 

[Midnyteryder196]

It started off with avalanche brake lights... haha

 

[Envoy_04]

I thought I was going to see more Avalanche third brake lights! Not other work completed... Is this a build thread?

Possibly the first time ever a thread has been jacked by the OP!

I think it turned from a single mod into a build thread. Regardless - nice work Aarkon, your TB is looking sharp!

 

[Aarkon]

Went from lifted to lowered now im happy

 

[Aarkon]

Can a mod please change this to my mod thread?

 

[Aarkon]

[Midnyteryder196]

[Aarkon]

Looks can be deceiving she just takes good pictures haha

 

[TexazReece]

I'm in for pics of that beauty

 

[Aarkon]

Is that a Kicker 10"? I love the stealth boxes. They provide some good bass while allowing for a clean look and saving cargo space.

Looking forward to seeing the wipre cowl painted and installed. I think the cowl is next on my list. Are you painting it yourself or taking it to a shop?

 

[Aarkon]

Its a 12 and a 1000 watt amp and im gonna have my brother in law paint it since he works in a body shop

 

[illy]

i actually have 2 of those stealth boxes for sale. both for 10 in sub. ones brand new ones a little ripped from shipping (which is why they sent me the new one for free )

 

[Aarkon]

How much are you asking for one?

 

[illy]

I mean they're not real fancy but they fit nice. I used the loaded one for 3 days till I decided I wanted more bass. The amp is bridgeable and shockingly strong.

I paid 165 for the loaded package I'm not selling the wiring kit, (which was awful anyway I used my own wires).

Let's say $60 for the empty box and 110 for it loaded with the amp. PM me if u want don't want to thread jack

 

[Aarkon]

Edited

 

[Aarkon]

All wiring complete just gotta put the sub in the box then tune it!!

 

[illy]

it looks like everything is wired down one side from the pic is that true? i was told its always best to run power down one side and everything else the other to stop interference

 

[dmanns67]

Great spot for the amp, I have mine installed there as well. So far, even through the summer, I have not had any heat issues. You at least have the option to leave the cover off until you need some cargo space.

 

[Aarkon]

My ground is ran to the latch power to rear fuse box speakers to the right and everything else on the left side of the truck

 

[Aarkon]

Ya ive done another tb and had the amp under the passanger seat but I wanted mine completely hidden I actually have an air tank and a bunch of tools I always keep in my trunk to figure out where to put now

 

[illy]

i just drilled a hole near the ones that were there for the hooks in the rear floor for my ground, just a little sand paper to get down to bare metal

Yeah same here. I ended up buying a rubbermaid trunk organizer. I think it is 12"x24". Fits all my tow straps, , ratchet straps, jumper cables, first aid kit, tools, ice scraper, etc. Plus it has velcro on the bottom to keep it from sliding around.
