    The same step was included on the pro when I got it. I thought it was lame and no one would ever use it. My wife and kids use it all the time. Not the first time I was wrong.

    Still thought it was expensive but went with it anyway.

    It is not. Could not find one of those, and got this for 200 dollars.

    It is a 5.3 liter LM7 iron V8 from a 2002 Tahoe.

    It's getting cleaned up and boosted.

    Aiming for two tunes: a daily 500 rwhp on pump gas and 700-800 rwhp on methanol with high boost.

    Will be absolutely bonkers, but a whole lot of fun.

    Anyone hooked up raptor lights or grille lights to a cab switch? Instead of having them tapped in to be on all the time?

    How would one go about doing this? I'm pretty elementary when it comes to electric. I've got light bars and bed lights hooked up to cab switches now (and a custom garage door opener switch that I soldered) but those had instructions or someone telling me how to do it. Grille lights can't be too hard right?

    FYI, if you have a sunroof it's a real b!@#$ to fit the wiring in there. Had to separate the grey adapter from it's mounting bracket and move it south a bit. So it's free floating now, and there is slight buldge, but only noticable to someone looking for it.

    Edit for clarity: because the sunroof drain hose is where the wiring should be.

    Installed the rotopax last night as soon as mr. Ups man dropped of the package. Opted for the dlx mounts without the locks. Read about too many problems with the locks seizing up in the elements; ended up using some cable gun locks i had lying around

    That's shiny!! May I ask how much a job like that costs, and what the longevity is for a full ceramic coat?

    Nice mod. It's one of the first ones I did as well. I like the comfort way more than the flat feeling I got sitting in the seats. Only did the drivers side, and I notice a huge difference on the days I'm the passenger, but knowbody else notices it.

    It sounds like really lucky. I have the lumber support dialed alt the way up and could use a little more still.

    If you can do light bars and garage door opener, you can do the raptor lights to switch. Just use the same setup that you used for your light bar switch. It’s just a switch and relay to send power to the lights with a push of a button. Cheap too.

    Installed Clazzio's black with dark grey leather insert and red stitching. The dark grey matches up well with the grey door panels. I'll revisit tightening them up further after they break in a bit.
