Looks good Nick!!!:thumb:
I'm sure people are wondering what reverse bulb/number you're using.

Yellowchevy


Yup they are great bulbs especially with tinted windows.


Did not get anything done on "Snow", but did get the misses car fully serviced and new brakes, and a wash job. Dealer wanted $1100 for the brake service and $150 for the oil change. I spent $350 for the parts for the brake job and $60 for the oil change supplies. Nothing like an afternoon in the driveway/garage working on a car.

My bad ass tint guy John made his way up to the shop today and got my truck tinted as well as 5 of my employees. Everyone was crazy impressed how he just knocked them all out, and did amazingly great work.

Getting started:


The goods:


45% on all three fronts:




Its just the right dark:


Out in the sun:


Traded 4 LED bulbs and a set of AirDog 100 filters for these(they need tires but this will allow me to test fit):


Also a very long two weeks from now the latest addition will arrive:

Looks really good Nick!!:thumb:

I need to tint the windows on the Impala and I wouldn't mind tinting the duallys windows.

Thank you. Ever want them done let me know my guy is cheap.

Pretty stoked these came out really well after a cleaning.

I want to tint my windshield and that 45% looks pretty good. Might not go that dark. Can you take a pic from the inside out the windshield/front window with the front window down?

Powdercoating color picked for the wheels. Should be here in a few days. Hopefully going to color match next week.

Took yesterday off from work and got some progress made.

First thing was to get the pillar pod painted. Garage paint booth, lol.



One coat:


Ended up doing 4 coats, came out well, thinking of topping with a gloss to match closer:




Made time to get the 3" shackles, KYB MonoMax installed and keys turned down. Also took the step bars off. 37.25" at fender up front 37.75" rear, need to drive some more to make sure its just got enough rake. A HUGE thanks goes out to Brooks for the shackle install. He had made time in his busy day to call me and walk me through the process. His process saved me hours of time, I was over thinking it. Literally 35 minutes and I was done with them.

The brolandry method. Jack up rear via spare tire and remove the nuts from both upper and lower shackle bolts.


Remove lower bolts.


Jack up truck until the springs touch the bottom of bed:


Remove old shackle and reinstall the new ones:




Install KYBs front and rear:


Everything came right apart like new still:






All done:

That powder coating color is nice.

Yellowchevy

Thanks fellas.

Dang that sucks it's out of stock. Surely you'll have lots of other stuff done prior to the wheels

That's the problem, my dad and I have an event the in a month I am trying to get it done for.

Hey Nick what are the specs on those wheels? I'm not sure if you posted and I over looked it or what.



Ordered some 1.5" wheel spacers and a lower front airdam for Snow yesterday. Got the air filter and oil changed, fought it the entire way. The Hulk must have put the drain plug and oil filter on.

Wally world has the Delvac 2.5 gallon jugs which are perfect.



You can see where the filter was tightened down all the way to the metal.



Stabbed it many times to get it off.



Air filter, old style (original from 06 still) versus the new style.
