My wife is pregnant. She came out in the shop and said she wanted the brush guard to be grey rather then black, so I quit working on it and was going to order some grey bedliner. 4 weeks or so pass, and now she wants it back black.

Guess I will get back to it, sooner or later

Nice looking Sub and you certainly can't beat the price. Good luck with it.

Thanks, it has been a good one.

My wife decided she wanted a BIGGER vehicle. She now has a conversion van.

I am working out of the 99 now. Since I have been driving it I have done a little work.

It also received a full replacement walker exhaust, but the muffler was upgraded to the Walker SoundFX. Has a nice rumble to it, but still quiet. Added a Stainless tip.

Pretty soon I won't be able to post any more picture of it on here anymore. My companies logo's will be going on it, so the pictures will violate site rules.

Spray can of bedliner, 2 cans of trim paint, masking supplies, new bulbs, all new black front lights

Swapped the black bumpers over from the 94 suburban, painted the grille with trim paint, painted the fender flares with bedliner to cover pitting, then trim paint on top of the bedliner

Also got my exhaust installed today. This was the left overs from the 94 as well. Magnaflow Y-pipe to bring the dual 2 inch pipe into a single 3, Borla XR1 round, 3 inch to 4 inch flare, v-band clamp, 4 inch tailpipe. The reason for the 4 inch tailpipe was I had 2 option for good fitment, cheap 4 inch or 3xpensive 3 inch magaflow. I chose the 4 inch. Love the sound. Sound clips to come.

Went out this morning to find a flyer stuck in the windshield and my freshly painted fender flare scratched up.

I called the store to let them know. They were very apologetic.

Picked up an Escalade console from my friends salvage yard today. It is missing the rear cup holder completely.

My interior is Dark Grey and this is tan. Tearing it all down for recovering and dying.

Side now have black vinyl stretched and glued. I am not good at this, but it looks better then plain cheap hard plastic. I will fill the holes in the back panel and wrap it in vinyl to match the sides. I will dye the top panels to match the interior.

Hot glued them from the back, then flipped it over and JB welded it from the front.

Went to another salvage yard and found a broken cup holder.

Then covered it in some foam. I am not able to cover it in vinyl myself. Going to have to take it in to my friend tomorrow.

Ordered some stuff for the console. With all the parts I am removing from the inside of the console, I decided to add some back in that will help with work. I am installing a power inverter to charge my drills/laptop, putting some USB ports in to charge cell phones and what not.

I had ordered some H3 HID lights to go in the lights on the front bumper, and they won't fit my lights. The bulbs are too long. So I ordered some cheap housings.

I am also going to experiment with these and see if they will be bright enough to work as an auxilary backup light.

I dropped this off at my buddies garage. He is going to get it put on next week.
