What did you do to your GMT today?

fr34kout · Apr 3, 2012

Didn't necessarily all happen today, but today finished up the front end lights except for the pesky 194 switchbacks which I just can't get to work properly.

6k "100 watt" lows
6k "75 watt" fogs
LED Corner lights from a local member installed about a week ago
Cleared out headlights and installed Autolumination Switchbacks

Now once I can get the darn polarity switcher working correctly I can put in the 194 switchbacks and everything will be good

ItsOnVoy, I know I am in the minority here, but I actually prefer these trucks WITH the bump strips..

Only reason I kept mine on so long was due to people hitting the doors but I said forget it and took them off.

Did the DRL kill mod, works really good. However no one bothered to mention that if you have the headlight washers they will spray the hell out of you when you reconnect the battery...needless to say, I got soaked :lipsrsealed:

It doesn't have to be white to be sexy. A colored T-shirt will cling and sometimes it's sexier not seeing everything.

Oh no...you were clearly warned, I remember this post.... :biggrin:

My horn honks once in a while too when I reconnect the battery - that doesnt bug me. What DOES bug me is when Im standing in front of the truck and reconnecting the battery, and EVERY time, the headlamp washers spray and squirt the hell out of me! Ive learned to remove the headlamp washer relay when messing with the battery.

ItsOnVoy · Apr 3, 2012

^^^^That's funny :rotfl:

Yes, but they have NEVER done that before, and we have disconnected the battery several times. Today was the first time it did that, which is why I was so close to it in the first place.

BUT, Hubby got more wet than I did, so it's all good lol

If there are no Tilted Kilts, it might as well be TCS.

We had a TK in Cedar Rapids....didnt last long. There just isnt a big enough pool of hot chicks willing to wear skimpy clothes so we ended up having chubs and skuzzies for a wait staff. Food wasnt that great either. I still stand behind the concept of hotties serving me food, though.

Tinted reverse lights (didn't work anyway). And debadged rest of emblems.

Yeah I just looked at an ass picture of the voy, and it looks the same.

But I LOVE the reverse lights completely blacked out. I would do mine, but I'd probably get pulled over.

Jeff did you do your side marker lights? I was debating on doing mine and wondered if you did yours and if you did how do they look, and do they still function normally?

Yea I did the side markers too....when I did my tails

Blckshdw · Apr 4, 2012

All of a sudden, my mostly unused can of Niteshades is whispering "Don't you have something that shows a lil too much light through it? You know you wanna use me somewhere!" :whisptersecret:

jrSS · Apr 4, 2012

Lol...I am done nightshading. UNLESS the avalanche 3rd brake light mod bites me. Haha.

They look really good. How many coats did you use? And it sounds to me that mod is nibbling a bit at you lol

jrSS · Apr 4, 2012

Lol. I used 2 coats of nightshades (if I am remembering) it was a night at regulators and was alil intoxicated. (Burnt myself with a propane heater too. Those elemnts get f***in hott!!)

ConeKilrAutoX · Apr 4, 2012
