  1. Nice bro... what wheels are those? I like the five spoke design.
  2. Congrats bro. Killer name by the way. He's gonna love cruisin' with dad in the SS. My two year old daughter prefers daddy's truck over mommy's car. I'm hoping the baby we have on the way now is a boy so we can take some father-son drives.
  3. Sorry you had to go through so much work for such a little problem. Thanks for sharing though so that everybody else here will know where to look. Glad you figured it out.
  4. Hmm... so maybe the RCAs went to an amp and then the amp was connected to subs? I believe I saw the adapter connected to a light blue wire with a white stripe and a green wire with a black stripe. I'll have to look later to see all of the wires that were tapped into.
  5. When I first purchased my truck used, I noticed that there were two RCA cables, a remote wire, a ground wire and a positive wire ran under my rear seat. On the underside of the rear seat I can see the indention of an amplifier. I decided to see where those wires originated today and when I took apart my center console I found a speaker to RCA adapter spliced into the factory wiring. What exactly does this allow me to do? Does it allow me to amplify the door speakers, the factory sub or add a sub? The reason I ask is because I was prepared to purchase the PAC oem-1. Would I still have any use for it? Sorry for my ignorance. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
  6. I'd probably prefer it just saying Silverado SS parking only, but I'd be down for a black and grey one since that is the color scheme of my SS.
  7. Your truck is absolute sickness bro. I love those wheels. Whenever I look at the bonspeeds online, they look like they have a protruding center cap. Did you get a different center cap or am I looking at the wrong wheels? Again, your truck looks perfect!
  8. Hey man. I had the same idea a while back when I removed my emblems to paint them. I mocked them up also and didn't like it because they are too large. I fabricated a piece out of metal for the grille and painted it black. I used the SS from the SilveradoSS.com decal and adhered it to the metal piece. I mounted the grille emblem in the lower right corner. I'm using this as a temporary emblem as I have a spare dash emblem that I am shaping and painting so I can mount it on the grille. My neighbor works at a machine shop and I have been trying to convince him to help me make a grille emblem that I can offer to everybody. We'll see.
  9. All of those products are nice, but you can have exterior LEDs for way cheaper. I just swapped all of my bulbs for LED bulbs from v-leds.com. I was going to go with the Recon tail lights also, but I have seen far too many vehicles with them and there are multiple LEDs that do not come on. Our stock tail lights look awesome so I'd say just change all the bulbs to LEDs and remember to get the resistor kit or the special flasher module so your blinkers will flash at the proper speed. You can bake your tail lights to loosen the gasket so you can separate the two halves, clean them up and then re-do the gasket so there will be no more leaks. You may also be able to find a set of used stock tail lights for sale somewhere. You can do the same thing with the bumper lights to fix the leak and then just upgrade all of the bulbs to LEDs. If you were to get the LED bumper light housings it would definitely give your truck a unique look though. The Anzo third brake light actually looks like a nice product, but again, I chose just to change all of the bulbs to LEDs. The difference between the two options is with the Anzo light, you will see each individual LED light up and with the stock light with LED bulbs, you will just see a large lit rectangle since the inside of the light is hazed a bit. Either way you go, it's your truck and you can do whatever you like to it. Good luck
  10. I'm really wanting to go with a five spoke wheel design this time around and I like this wheel even more since it is already all black. I'm just wondering if anyone has seen these wheels in person and if they can let me know if they look good or not. So far I'm considering going with gloss black 22 inch replica SSS wheels, these Lorenzos or the American Racing gloss black Circuit wheel.
  11. Here is a pic of my truck when I had 22 inch U2-55 wheels. They look very nice, but I would honestly recommend staying away from them. The quality of the chrome is not that great and it took 6 inch strips of weights to balance the wheels. The truck rode like crap the whole time I had them. I know they are very affordable but you get what you pay for. Maybe you'll have better luck with them if you get them. I think they now carry a flat black 24 inch version.
  12. I'm an Army trained Biomedical Equipment Technician meaning I fix medical equipment in a hospital. It is a great job with great pay so if anyone is considering joining the military or wants to change their MOS, I highly recommend becoming a BMET. The course is a triservice school so you can be in the Navy, Airforce or Army to participate. I've been at it for 6 years now and still enjoying it.
  13. You got that thing sittin' pretty Tony. Great job. Me next!!!
