What did you do to your GMT today?

[EMT]

I pulled the pillar vinyl off, it looks so much better

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Debated pulling my pillar vinyl off. Yours looks good

 

[Darkrider_LS]

Priced out suspension parts for the Trailblazer and an alternator for the S10 Blazer

 

[shrek77]

Washed her, hand waxed, cleaned up tires, cleaned all windows inside and out, Cruised a while and enjoyed the sunset. GOD is good!

Found the passenger side carpet soaking wet today ... found the AC drain plugged at the elbow exiting the firewall. Had to remove the trim around the front door, center post and the rear door so I could vacum up the water and then pulled up the carpet and pad went to home depot and got a high volecity fan and am in the process of drying it all out. Kinda wishing the front mats weren't rubber lined so that I would have realized it was happening sooner. I guess it should be on the preventive maintaince schedule! I don't think it got wet under the front passanger seat although I will have to check it out better tomorrow. Not as bad as my previous passat where the water flowed all the way to the backseat so I had to remove the front seat to dry it all out ... the passat also had a control module under the driver floor board that got pretty wet as well. (the leak was from the battery tray just on the other side of the firewall when the drain got pluged up with leaves and the water came through the firewall on the drivers side).

Drove it. Then checked on my package for my headlights. Apparently FedEx lost it. So the place I bought it from is sending a new pair free of charge

 

[djthumper]

Got it up to about 113 on the NASCAR track out at the LVMS after working an event out there. I was hoping I was going to get to run the drag strip again.

Had this happen on a Dodge. The condensate drain there was a simple 90 degree rubber valve that got plugged up with long thin flowers from some tree I parked under. After I pulled, cleaned and reinstalled I left a long line of water on the driveway when backing out.

EDIT: This was supposed to quote the AC drain issue above...

Done.

 

[shrek77]

Marcos posted his on FB and I thought about it before. Nice easy mod! I used set screws with pipe tape to fill the holes. Looks better de-racked imho.

 

[EMT]

Hardtrailz, you should leave your pillars covered, they look awesome on your truck

Shrek, your truck looks great!


Also, I got my windows tinted and detailed my truck today

 

[Aarkon]

that tint looks good what percent did you go with up front?

 

[Darkrider_LS]

Retrieved the damaged wheel and tire from the tire shop.

You've got a nice voy! your tint looks great! I would like a set of those rims on my TB. O and by the way yours would look good de-racked as well!

 

[EMT]

35%

Thanks! I don't know about de-racking, I can't stand the roof hump on the LWBs

Well I did this this past Saturday, but since the site was being upgraded, and I didn't have my laptop on me, im posting this now... I put on my new header panel that the dealership broke on the first motor swap and I completed my Cluster LED conversion. I need to add more LED's because while they may look blue and in unison with all my other LED's, they actually have a very slight hue of purple, so another strip of blue should solve that...

getting things ready...

Damn dealership!!!

of course i had to modify the new one to match my old header panel (headlight mod that we do to get more air in)

Buttoning her back up...

getting ready for LED's

Done!

 

[Blckshdw]

That's a HUGE roll of LEDs, where are the rest of em going?

Heck yea man! Told you it wasn't that bad!

Welllll... lol... im going to add another row to the cluster, then i had some plans for my subs box since the back of it has a lip on it and my amps are recessed. So i wanted to light them up. and maybe even my grille

Heck yea man! Told you it wasn't that bad!

yea not bad at all. Kind of a PITA without have the face off and doing it backwards if you wanna call it that, but i got it done. just need to add more

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Took the lil one to the store. She put her window down and said...I can see over everybody.

Warmed my heart.

 

[Midnyteryder196]

Since i havent been able to post pics on here bc the upgrade, i finally figured out photobucket.

This last weekend i got my rocker covers finally completely done and put back on truck

Also got my package from Ghost!

 

[MAY03LT]

I got everything I need for a little spring/summer freshening up - and I found plastidip locally! I found it at Lowes of all places. So I'm going to try it on the grill this year and see how it holds up. I've seen a lot of posts on here from others who have tried it, so why not.

The fusion is for the fugly gray plastic pieces on the back bumper. I did the rockers and both bumpers in 08 and for some reason, even though I've scrubbed the sh*t out of the front bumper hundreds of times since, only the rear bumper has faded back to gray. Maybe bug guts have somehow preserved the fusion on the front bumper over the years.

I also picked up a few dings here and there over the winter since people are inconsiderate aholes so when I passed by the duplicolor scratch stick thingy I figured what the hell. It can't make it any worse....right?

 

[Aarkon]

Used it for a repel ancore

What is this Plasti-Dip Glossifier? Never seen it before. Is it like a protective clear coat or just what the can says, give a gloss finish to Plasti-Dip instead of a matte finish? I am going to have to look into this. I was planning on taking my dip off my wheels once I got new tires, but I like the idea of this Glossifier. I am not a huge fan of the matte finish. Thanks for helping to add more to the ever growing mod list

 

[GrizzlyDippah]

That is a picture with the glossifier. When all else fails Google it.

This looks nice might have to try it out on a spare

 

[dmanns67]

https://www.dipyourcar.com/home.php Has alot of products and good info with videos. Glossifier looks like a good and cheap investment over just a matte black finish. I guess while I am painting my calipers and rotors, I might as well spray my wheels with some Glossifier.

Your wheels look great.

Don't forget they have metalizers too now!

On the can it just says something like 'gives a gloss finish to plastdipped items' but in one of the dipyourcar.com vids they said something about 'extra layer of protection' which I thought made it kinda like clear I guess. The grille/bumper on mine is a bug/rock magnet so it needs all the protection that it can get. And no problem contributing to your mod list, just paying it forward since this thread and the LED mod thread gets me in trouble!

 

[Blckshdw]

the LED mod thread gets me in trouble!

I have NO idea what you're talking about...

 

[rmsg0040]

Did the lower ball joints today

 

[blazinlow89]

Some LED poon for the time being.

Also flexed the Trailblazers muscles and towed the mother in laws Dakota out of a ditch.

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Loading it up for a good weekend

 

[Aarkon]

Had a caliper bolt come out on me on my way to work tore up my rim pretty good

 

[jrSS]

Same thing happened to me but in the dead of winter. Aarkon...go to oriellys and they have replacement bolts. My wheel had the exact damage. Was it the rear wheel?

 

[Aarkon]

Ya rear passenger I got it fixed now and luckily there was minimal damage

 

[IllogicTC]

Talked about the ol TB at work today. Not mine specifically, just in general. One person owns an 07, the other is getting ready to take over an 02 after the tranny is done up or something like that, along with a third person. They swore UUUUUUP and DOOOOWN that the 4x4 system HAS to be vacuum assist. No amount of explaining the theory of operation helped. I guess they're stuck in the good ol' hub days.

 

[Aarkon]

New brows

 

[Wooluf1952]

How many LED's do you have in your license plate?

 

[dmanns67]

First full detail inside and out of the year, way overdue. Ran out of time before heading out to DC, did not get to clay or wax.



I apologize for the Ford in the reflection [emoji85]
