That's why i don't even want to start with that stuff. there will always be something that will mess it up eventually.

I'll probably eventually get the TBSS interior door panels put in, I can keep everything else that I painted since nothing ever messes with that

Yeah i would like to myself, I found someone that was selling the entire interior of an ss in black leather. he wanted $500 for the whole thing but it was in nevada i think. way too far for me

Wow that's a steal. I was looking at TBSS seats for $699 for the whole set, but too much money at once.

 

[BlazingTrails]

It would have been a great deal if not so far away.

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

For 699 I get Katskinz

I heard using vinyl dye is much more preferable to using paint on the interior, since it etches into the plastic, instead of just coating the top layer.

I tend to dye my interior w mud. Doesn't last forever but its fun to do.

I'm open to trying that

Got some free parts from a Spectre Intake Kit that my bud had taken off of our other buddies truck before he left the Army. Gonna see if I can jerry-rig it with some other universal intake parts at the local Auto Parts stores to replace the stock airbox. Maybe my Airaid Intake might perform a little better doing so.

For the stock airbox, many of us take a Dremel to it and cut out the airbox resonator, which opens it up quite a bit. Also changes the intake's tone a bit too.

Every time i'm in Walmart I always pass the dremel's and say nahh i'll wait to get one. If I had just bought one instead of putting it off i'd probably give that a go right now.

 

[BlazingTrails]

I took that part out completely and threw it away

Which is definitely an option, unless you get a paint mod bug that wants to spray pieces under the hood. One less thing to mod. Uh oh you guys, we need to give Brandon more support for his modding!!

 

[Capote]

The extra pieces I got are Chrome (yuck), it'd make some Anodized Blue look mad shiny though if I sprayed it over.

 

[Blckshdw]

That, sir, is a great idea!!

 

[BlazingTrails]

You guys are funny.

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Modded today again...I'm weak

 

[Sir ffeJ]

Wanting to mod but need 4x4 switch issue fixed first.

 

[Capote]

Me and Brandon could not stop thinking of what to mod on my TB this past weekend. The Mod Bug was lodged in our brains

Projector retrofit!!! Get some!

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Wishing....but stock replacement for now. My stock are pitted inside...its odd really

 

[Capote]

Atleast you don't have a mummified frog in yours like the original housings did on mine when I first bought her I still have them by the way, I never throw away original parts. Still have plenty of goodies from my Yukon.

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

I got most parts stock...

My wife calls me a hoarder when it comes to saving OE parts. You never know when you will need them is what I tell her

I like keeping OE parts, I just find it neat and you get to see how much stuff you've modded or swapped out

Thats true. I had a garage full of OE parts from my 98 Civic I left at my dad's house after graduating college. I think he ended up selling all the parts after I traded in the Civic for the TB.

I'll eventually put them in my storage unit with all the military equipment & stuff I've acquired.

 

[BlazingTrails]

[Capote]

[BlazingTrails]

[Capote]

Yeeesss, i've got some nice random stuff, you saw one of them this weekend

 

[BlazingTrails]

[HARDTRAILZ]
