Short Bus · Apr 23, 2012

Ok speaking of that mod, I'm getting annoyed of the panels I have from a member on the OS, some rows flash because his soldering wasn't the best. What size panels will fit in an 08 with the lights in the center? I'm assuming these ones won't, will the 36 led panels fit? Nice mod btw lol

Me007gold · Apr 24, 2012

Plastidipped my cross bar, and used come CD-2 on my engine.

If you have stock tails, you'll need bulbs, not panels.

Edit: If your talking about dome/map lights yes 36 LED panels work, that's what I have. I have 2 of them in the cargo light. I think the 42 LED panels should fit also.

fr34kout · Apr 24, 2012

I was talking about the interior overhead led panels lol, sorry for the confusion

07ChevyTruck · Apr 24, 2012

Me007gold - That's one clean engine bay you got there. :thumbsup:

Short Bus · Apr 24, 2012

Make a splitter like this

and you can fit 2 in the cargo light

and this is what you get

Rofl realized I completely posted this in the wrong thread. Whoops

Edit: But that's badass, might just have to do that for the rears

That is one clean engine bay :thumbsup:

Where did you get the cleaner from and what did you have to cover up when spraying with water?

Used simple green to clean the engine. Only covered up the alternator. After it dried, used the CD-2 and sprayed everthing but the belts. I got it an autozone, its in the section with the engine cleaners, not the car wash stuff.

TexazReece · Apr 25, 2012

Well today I got in a few things I ordered, as much as I like Carltons thread on The Avalanche led 3rd brake light. I just didnt feel good with cuting open and painting the reflector, so I ordered some RedStop Taillight vinyl and decided to see how it would turn out.
View attachment 20560

Here is the result although I rushed it at first and had to do it once more I think it turned out ok. Just a couple of tiny air holes (3) and have plenty to touch it up if need be in the future.
View attachment 20561

Some emblems I got in today also ( Big Transformers Fan ) lol but might just use 1 of them for the rear hatch door somewhere :undecided:

Went ahead and removed roof racks using Ford trim clips and RTV sealant to fill the holes. Also removed the rear glass door handle. Used stainless 5/16" x 1" carriage bolts painted black with neoprene washers. Need to get 5/16" x 3/4" though next time I'm at the hardware store. The 1" is just a little too long and hits the plastic surround around the latch. It works for now. Now out to wash and wax after lunch. :-)

waiting for my projectors and hid's to come in...

Sparky · Apr 25, 2012

Another idea for making the lens red if you don't want to mess with film is VHT makes a red tint spray as well as the black.

MAY03LT · Apr 25, 2012

Got some more dorman boards in and also dug out the tail light connectors for the next project.

Canary2323 · Apr 25, 2012

I put these on today, 22 inch kmc slides.

TheBad · Apr 25, 2012

Nice!!

I changed the oil, oil filter, air filter, and installed cabin filters.
Thanks to MAY03LT for letting us know about them.

If you don't mind, what's the p/n for the male connector?

Mousers listing is 829-15326827. The pins, seals, and lock thingys are sold separately. By the time you add all the pieces up, it's just about what the M/F kit from Ballenger runs.

Nicies. Thanks... Why do I have a feeling you and I are working on the same concept, lol?

jham · Apr 26, 2012

The next time I see you please remind me to smack some sense into you.

I rotated my tires, replaced the starter, cleaned the throttle body, replaced the thermostat, replaced the upper and lower radiator hoses, and replaced the serpentine belt.

jrSS · Apr 26, 2012

Huh??

No prob man! And, I don't know, maybe because we're like, originators or something?!?!? :biggrin:

Is this going to plug into the trailer connector or splice into the wires? Splice I can handle, but can't go without the connector.

Short Bus · Apr 26, 2012

Put on the windshield decal I got from Harmless.

kardain · Apr 26, 2012

Got the second pair of lights in... Now if it will only stop raining long enough to install....

SAR85 · Apr 26, 2012

Used bedliner to paint the rear bumper plastic and doing the other trim as I have time. Also replaced the rear swaybar endlinks.

View attachment 20595

Mypetropig · Apr 27, 2012

^^^ Looks good, what type of bed liner paint did you use?

SAR85 · Apr 27, 2012

It was Rustoleum I believe. I just scuffed it up with a "medium" sanding pad (probably about 150 grit or so) and washed/scrubbed with TSP. I used 2 coats, about 2 min apart, as the directions say.

I tested it on a small area first, which shows the difference:
