What did you do to your GMT today?

[Decembersend]

I just may end up doing this. I'll just have to run without headlights for awhile but that's ok I have bright a** fogs

You'll also have no turn signals

Arm signals are still a recognized alternative to turn signals.

 

[Wooluf1952]

Turn signals still work. Just use a little duct tape to keep them where they can be seen.

This Ghetto as anything but it'll work

 

[Wooluf1952]

Use the silver/gray duct tape and it'll look like a custom assembly.

 

[Blckshdw]

Sounds like a mod we should do during one of our mini meets. Plenty of pics would be taken for proper documentation purposes.

[Matt]

Washed it for the drive to C'bus today...just to get it rained on.

 

[jmagid]

Added behind the mirrors sequential led arrow signals from iJDMtoy.com. 33-SMD Sequential LED Turn Signal Arrow Lights Similar to what you would find a a newer Avalanche or Escldade. They look great in my opinion and not nearly as difficult as I had expected.

Just replaced the burned up blower motor resistor on my 2004 Silverado 1500. That was the easiest repair I have ever had to do. No idea why I waited so long to do it.

[Sparky]

Gave it a quick hand wash for the meet today
Found some more rust bubbles
Pretty much decided I'm going to lift it regardless
Priced out lift, spacers, and tires, comes out to about $1050 for 5 tires or $910 for 4 (Treadwright Wardens, look like BFG ATs basically). Probably would go with the 5 to retain a full size spare but I'm not sure if a 32" tire will fit underneath in the stock location or not. I'll have to crawl underneath and do some measuring. Good chance I won't do it until next year anyway. Still have enough life left in my current tires to get through this coming winter.

Replaced front side marker bulbs cause 1 was out and replaced Outside air temp sensor, it was reading 19 deg a couple of days ago and the AC would not run with it being 95 deg outside.

Buy the fifth tire and even if it doesn't fit save it until you get a customer bumper done by Mike.

Where are those drought conditions when you need them.

I know it won't fit on a EXT

No thanks! Id prefer mid 70s and rain to 100+ and dry. My poor grass still hasn't recovered

How close (or far) is it from fitting?

I don't really have grass so I don't care - nice not having to mow the weeds at least IMO I was more concerned about farmers and crops and such when it was so hot and dry. But I was glad it wasn't 90+ today for the meet. Aside from the brief spat of misty rain we had it was pretty decent weather.

 

[Mypetropig]

Decided to finally fix my map light that was sticking and cleaned it while I had it out. After I re installed and tested it I realized just how dirty the others had become after almost ten years so they got removed and cleaned as well. Now I am looking for a place to order a new CPAS.

I'm going to hold you to this. DDM HIDs are ordered 2 pairs of 6000k D2S with relay, and 2 pairs of Hella evox-r projectors :wootwoot:

Cleaned the sand out of my HID fogs today so I'll have light while my headlights are out.

Fine with me, suit yourself, it ain't gonna be ME driving around looking like that!

Hey man duck tape can fix anything and I can get colorful tape too

 

[Short Bus]

I haven't put a 265/70/17 on the spare tire holder, but I had a 265/65/17 on it and it didn't fit correctly. It was catching on something (heat shield IIRC) and the front side was way down. It might work with a little cutting, but IDK.

 

[Irishboy02]

Started yesterday but finished this morning. I painted my front GMC black, used Rustoleum Lens tint, wanted VHT nightshade but they were sold out. Sidenote: this stuff is comparable, seems as though it might even give it a little more of a glossy finish

Also debaged 'Sierra' from my rear tailgate. Leaving the GMC, going to paint it the same way i did the one in the grill. Spray tinted my third brake light as well. Also used plastic-x on my taillights because the clear coat was starting to flake. Wow what a difference it made.

I apologize in advanced - all pics were taken via iphone

 

[jrSS]

Took the plasti dip plunge. So far I like it but what a pain to do.
Actually did this Friday b4 the aug 11th ohio meet.

And yes I know I need to do something with the calipers and such. One thing at a time for this guy.

Dont know what moron would ever tell you its easy Looks good regaurdless

 

[jrSS]

Thanks buddy^^

 

[Regulator]

I built a bracket to attach to my roof rack to secure the shovel and axe to it. Amazingly, I didn't have any complaints from the neighbors even though I was pounding out the metal at 11pm Friday night.

 

[cody_s]

Regulator: Looks great, well done

Thinking about picking up some wood and working on a rear cargo organizer.

 

[SBUBandit]

Is that a chunk of your belt?

 

[Fire06]

Reg your system looks great

 

[cody_s]

Completely emptied out the trunk (including the subs) to get some measurements to build a rear cargo organizer. Not sure if I'm going to get to building today or if it's going to be tomorrow, but we'll see

Guy over on trailvoy built a really nice one with pictures this weekend, and made it removable. Pretty slick really.

Nope, strips of rubber cut off of a 6" x 6" sheet I bought at Lowes.

Trailvoy guy was convinced to come over here and posted pics and everything. http://gmtnation.com/f34/trailblazer-storage-organization-4538/

 

[Sparky]

Yeah I want to build one now too. I'm thinking of a cargo drawer/sub box combo unit that is easily unplugged and removed for when I'm hauling large things

 

[cody_s]

Yeah I saw that, there's also been a few on ORTB that I've really liked. We'll see how it goes.

 

[Mark20]

Finally gave it a bath and clicked over 75K on the odometer. The baby is getting old!

 

[cody_s]

Got started on the rear organizer. It's mostly done, just want to add some sliding drawers in the bottom and find some sort of walpaper/carpeting/something so it's not just a bunch of wood in the trunk
Here's where it's at: http://gmtnation.com/f33/built-rear-cargo-organizer-4560/
