Did the rear window handle delete
Used
2-5/16x1" stainless steel carriage bolts
2-rubber washers
And 2-5/16 nuts

Total at home depot was $4.80 because SS bolts are $1 something each

Painted them black with VHT satin black caliper paint and clear coated with my favorite clearcoat ever, krylon triple thick glaze clearcoat
View attachment 28447

Used scratchX2.0 to get most if not all the scratches off the rear glass

Looks good dude... having the EXT with the rear shelf means I use my handle to access the rear area or else I'd do the delete as well...
It should clean up the back quite nicely...

Parked it she will be resting for 4 days. I'm headed to Chicago till Friday. Ordered the trans cooler from PCM with the black steel braid lines. Laying that base for my cam! Buying my oil pump and head gaskets Thursday.

It does clean it up pretty nicely, you can do it too, its still open and closeable but you just gotta reach under the glass instead of the handle, i might need to loctite it though cause i can turn it open and closed and if i over tighten with a socket the rubber spreads and looks funny

Heres a pic of what it looks like now

 

[fr34kout]

Looks good! Just gotta do that bumper mod you were telling me about lol

 

[Ryda55555]

Yup, i took it off and was looking at it and realized i gotta get a different plate holder or mod mine so it doesnt have a big chunky part on the bottom, i also have to fill the holes the previous owner made because he used extra long screws to screw the plate to the holder.....
But i'll probably do it tomorrow, still waiting for the internet guy to come

Edit: i just came up with a crazy idea that might work with the bumper mod!! Im excited to see how it turns out, i'll post pics when i do it tomorrow hehehe

Well bitter sweet day in the Benoit household today...Sold the Trailblazer ...but replaced it with a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee LaredoX :wootwoot:

This is what I will be getting for my fogs, though I have more of a blue-ish hue to my headlights with the 6k.

I attempted to tighten my end link on the passenger side, but the stupid bolt is already rusted through. I used some PB blaster and will let it sit for a day or 2 before I attempt it again.

I've always liked HID fogs especially on black trucks but the hyper yellow went in on the first week and i like them too much to switch, plus it looks 100,000X better now that the fogs are my DRLs and perimeter lights :wootwoot:

 

[jrSS]

I have 6000k lows and fogs ready to be installed...

[Boricua SS]

got the beaSSt dialed in for the big trip coming up this weekend... clay bar'd her, waxed her, started packing things up (stopping at Jeff's house to install his DRL Killer and HID's and then we'll be convoy'n together Friday morning to Chicago... ) and I plasti dipped my header panel cover (holds the prop rod in place) since the paint I had on it was chippin off... so a quick coverup makes it look puuuuurtty again

Jeff's DRL Killer, LED's and my tools since I don't know what he has in his garage

and the claybar/wax pix...

a bit cloudy, but you can still see the shine...

and the plasti dipped cover...

 

[jrSS]

Thanks for the subs Juan.

 

[Boricua SS]

oh you'll hear the coming.. hope the po po aren't bad in that area

 

[Sparky]

Worked on those headlights some more. Main turn signals are mounted in both housings now as soon as the adhesive sets up. Just have one more shroud and bezel to fit together, finish a little wiring, and then seal up the housings with a liberal use of clear RTV. Then the final install in the truck :wootwoot:

 

[Boricua SS]

sounds like some work to get done before Friday

 

[Sparky]

Gonna have it done by then. I said I would, and I'd never hear the end of it if I failed, so even if I get no sleep this week THEY WILL BE DONE!

I haven't touched mine, had to work shitty shifts to get my bday off...AND I'm going to the beach this weekend, imma TRY to get them installed by then, but I doubt I'll be driving the tb. Either way, can't wizzait to see em!!

I now know why my wallet is empty and why my mastercard bill keeps increasing....

View attachment 28468

Hahahaha tomorrows DIY mod/mods will be the front license plate holder shave so i can fit a tinted plate cover on and a secret only fr34kout knows a part of
Hopefully it turns out as planned.....

 

[dmanns67]

Its good to have a long list. Gives you something to look forward to. My list is taking forever to complete. I am trying to avoid the empty wallet and using credit cards , but its hard to do.

I am going to hit up PCMofNC for their Memorial day sale. They are offering $20.00 off of their tunes. I think its only $139.00 if you mail-in your PCM. Luckily I will be on vacation next week, so while the truck is out of commission waiting on the PCM tune, I will be able to knock out a lot of items on my list. Mostly painting and I will have plenty of time to watch paint dry and drink some cold beers!

After about 8 inches of rain in 2 days and an inch or so of water on my floorboard, Mat is finally re-running the sub and amp wires. I would be extremely pissed if I didn't have some major interior plans for the truck in the future.

Time to raise that puppy

 

[Ryda55555]

Done!!

Cut the front plate holder to fit in the envoy lower grille, also trimmed the border around the plate to put a cover on
Flipped the plate cover upside down
To seal the holes i used black silicone
Then coated them with touch up paint
Then wet sanded, then cleared.
Not perfect but definitely better than 6 holes in my bumper
Might do fr34kouts license plate hole mod in the future if i dont like this

What do you peoples think?
Next monday im going to attempt to paint my headlights again to match the rest of the voy because headlights stick out like a sore thumb

 

[Ryda55555]

Do you suffer from squeaky glovebox?
Worry no more, ryda55555 has come up with a simple yet very effective fix

Shove a rolled up microfibre inside its that simple lool

On a more serious note, what you'll have to do is unscrew
3-7mm bolts on the bottom that hold onto the hinge and 4 phillips screws on top
Separate the plastic from the top, you'll have to close the lid a little to take it apart
Put a rolled up microfibre in or you could use foam, whatever puts a little bit of cushion and pressure against both inside and outside pieces
I used little pieces of rolled up electrical tape around the hinge holes so theres no metal/metal, plastic/metal, or plastic to plastic touching
Close everything back up and voila!! No more noise whatsoever!!
I also wrapped a layer of electrical tape around the stick part to make it close tighter so it stays closed and only opens when you use the handle like its supposed to be

I don't think she can reach that dirty mirror though

 

[Sparky]

Been working on my headlights more. Gahhh I hate this butyl goo stuff. Trying to remove the leftover gunk so I can reseal them with RTV and it doesn't cut well, or remove well, or, well, anything well, except stay stuck in the groove and make me very frustrated with it This is what made me put these things down last time, gave me a blister trying to clean it out of there. Well, one headlight is cleaned out, the other is about 1/2 cleaned out. Then I get to trim the bezel a bit more on the one side and seal them up!

Oh, mine has stage 4 interior noise-kemia. Everything I think of makes a noise when I go over a bump, something inside the back hatch, a door or two, and the sunroof :3
