It is,that's why I picked it up. It should be here by Thursday. Once I'm done using it I'll probably give it to my brother so he can powder coat it some crazy color or just p.c to match my voy.

Yeah, that, and the rain guards make it look funny from a distance.
Oh well, at least I got some good practice with "Peel Coat".
There's nothing more frustrating than little bugs constantly getting stuck and leaving imperfections in the stuff while it is drying.
I picked up a Meguiar's headlight kit and I am pretty impressed with the immediate results. It completely removed the roughness and the hazy yellowing, but you can still see some speckles (probably because I only spent 5 minutes sanding each).
I'm not complaining, though. Let's see how it holds up.

Played around with locking in the new Hitchmate cargo carrier. It's pretty cool for what I'm going to need it for.

Replaced the original front anti-swaybar end links. I used Moog grease-able parts.
As an FYI, wire brushing the built-up rust from the threads of the originals, helped just enough in getting the nuts off. ( The end-links. Not mine.

Threw on the new shoes I got for it last night (got dark and couldn't take a pick so posting this morning). Only had a 2 1/4 ton Jack so had to use some pieces of wood to put underneath it to lift it up enough.
Next future mod will be to even it out. It seems the rake is even more noticible now. Don't want to go low rider style, just level it off. That will for sure be down the road.

Changing out the oil and filter and got you guys a pic of the hood prop holding bracket.
Spent a few hours detailing the engine bay. I also removed all the insulation, made for a much cleaner look overall.

After my oil change decided to take a look at the throttle body. It didnt look to bad but ended up cleaning it anyway. The clouds parting gave me a chance to wash it aswell.

I put my stock tail lights back in the Silverado because for some weird reason the screw mounts broke off the driver side LED tail light leaving it hanging by the wiring. Well that sucks! I can probably rebuild the mounts but going to contact the seller as they should be under warranty still.

Drove into work this morning. Oh so clean and OG.
Replaced the ageing AC Delco battery with a Autocraft Platinum AGM battery from Advance Auto Parts. Had them install the battery in the lot. Also picked up some Techron fuel system cleaner, and a pair of 3157's to replace the reverse lights that have been burned out since last year.
Just went to replace the reverse light bulbs and saw that the failure was not in the filiment on either bulb. On the drivers side the failure was at the wire pin on the bulb that makes connection inside the socket. It burned open. The passenger was the same but worse. There was also corrossion. I thought i would try and scrape it off and i realized the metal was gone. It literally ate the metal pieces inside the socket. My pick punctured it like wet paper. I will have to replace the passenger socket at a later time. At least i have one reverse light again.
First interior detailing of the year.

Led turn signals. That means everything is led or hid except for the gauge cluster and controls.

Gave the TB some love today wiping down the Engine Bay
For my son's '07 Envoy, we new Biltstein HD shocks in the rear, installed Air Lift air bags in the rear springs, and replaced the rear differential fluid.
In the near future, hopefully in a day or two - Front Diff fluid, Trans Filter and Fluid, Transfer Case fluid, and possibly a radiator flush.

I have a steel and aluminum basket, but neither folds. I like that idea though and may need to modify one or buy one for the wifes ride.
I would bitch until they make good....F their warranty. They are too new for that.
I got a list of stuff going for my truck so i can empty and reload it to go do some camping/offroading this weekend.

Looking real sweet. What products do you use to detail the interior. My black interior gets dirty quick with all the sand in this desert

Last night I hit up amazon for a new mod, but need to get itand check it out before being to proud since I never couldfind an actual rreview of it and just took a chance
Yesterday we finished the fluid change on my son's Envoy. Now he's all set with fresh front and rear differential fluids, transfer case fluid, transmission filter and fluid, engine oil and filter. The only thing left would be a coolant change and brake fluid, but that's planned for later this year.
I've got to add.... We bought this '07 Envoy from a friend, (to replace my son's '05 TB that was in an accident). After going over it and changing out all of the fluids, it was a pleasure to work on. Very, very little rust on anything underneath, and overall it was in super condition all over, with just under 80k miles. Truck was a 2nd vehicle of my friends, and was garage kept. My buddy had it serviced at a dealer, and about the only thing that I had difficulty with was the darn oil filter. They must have put it on with a wrench.
It was SO tight!

I use Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer spray with a microfiber towel. I also use Meguiar's Gold Rich Leather cleaner/conditioner on the seats.

Took care of a hanging hid ballast and installed my hid highs.
Not very noticeably but the driver side is stock high beam bulb.

Changed out the wiper blades.I forgot I had purchased a few days ago. I found them when I was searching for a dam lighter. Lol.

Since I got the day off and have some free time I went and got her inspection done. Just 1 less thing to worry about before I go away for the memorial day weekend.

Installed my SPEC-D Avalanche 3rd brake light. Used some butt connectors, but need to get some heat shrink wrap and finish it up a little cleaner. Works for now though.

Looks great.

Looks great.
Thanks. It sure cleans up the back end. They were listed as smoke, but not much of a smoke look during the day. They aren't terrible, but wish they were darker. Didn't want to cut them open like Carlton did, and since I don't have the IPCW tails, I didn't want to get the IPCW 3rd brake light. This one seems to match the best with the DEPO tails.

You talking about cutting the 3rd brake light right? Yeah, the smoked version was more like lightly steamed... That's why I cut it open to paint the reflector. Much mo betta, and things match during the day. Kinda have the urge to buy a new one, I didn't use the right silicone to seal it up, and the outgassing has the lens hazed up. No bueno.

Yep. Too lazy to do that.
Plus I wanted to get it installed immediately. It's not terrible. Can't imagine what the chrome one looks like.
