It only took me almost 9 full years to upgrade the OEM radio to something that could do bluetooth stuff. I did put in an old Grom Audio kit somewhere around 2009 so I could at least charge a USB and play from a long since traded in Zune.

Put a JVC KD-R980BTS in. All nice and easy except for taking a few tries to get the steering wheel controls working.

 

Just got my graphic decals done today ! What yall think

 

@Tonygee did you black out your own emblems or buy those? been trying to find some matte blacks for a reasonable price

 

@Bocsy44 just sprayed them with plastidip

5dll can at walmart

 

I noticed a bump in Tq around 3000 rpm. The biggest part of this mod is modifying the intake manifold brackets it's super easy with a dremel but other than that it's simple. This just creates longer intake runners which increases low end Tq it might cost some up top but I could care less. It would be nice if this spacer was thicker but after installing it with all the wiring harnesses and vacuum hoses it's probably perfect. Hope this helps

 

yeah, definitely the less expensive route, I just feel it wouldn't last that long through the rough winters and salted roads here in Canada. I feel the plastidip would start to peel but I could be wrong. I also read a DIY and it seemed like quite a bit of work.

 

It's the easiest thing ever. Spray it on, no prep, then peel off the excess, wipe the rest off with a micro fiber, take a tooth pick to get in between the letters. Mine has had no problems I did the emblems and the full rear bumper 6-8 months ago

 

All-pro standard leafs, GM Silverado bumps mounted on the strike plates & Icon 2.0 remote resi's after their fresh rebuild Coming from TSB leafs with a 1.5 AAL I gained ~2.25" hub to fender since the stock leafs were shot. I cant believe my tailgate went up 4"! I have some low speed driveline vibes I need to track down, money on driveshaft spacer being it. No pics of the whole truck since I ran out of daylight.

 

Nice!!! Those bumps look cool, curious how you will like them. Also curious how you got the idea!

Those leafs are pretty helfy also, wow. Maybe try a carrier bearing drop.

 

Guess I got some reading to do ! Thx for the post.

 

Bump idea from here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/fox-2-0-deavers-1-5-aal-and-gm-bump-stops.289215/
Got the pair online for $45 out the door, I like saving money (refer to my Icon post in the So Cal thread)! Just had to drill a hole for the mounting stud, threw a nut on it & done deal.

 

Very nicely done sir!!!! Mad respect!

 

Basically. I did my front emblem a few years ago and its still looks great.

Apply it right and youll be fine

 

Today I got that bitch muddy
