Might have to go that route, it depends on how bad the crack is to fix in the 4th one. I gave it to a friend to check out for me who can weld aluminum thats what its not pictured. If it can't be done reasonably they will go back to craigslist

Looks like I'm looking at $500-600 just to get the escalade wheels where I can then buy and mount tires. So, it would be around another $1300 at least so those are sitting on the back burner for awhile.

Recently ordered a set of adapters to mount a Morimoto H1 HID Projectors from Ri22o on here to a set of oem denali projectors. Finally got the lights and took them apart. Now I just have to order my projectors and hid's.

Put them in the oven to take out the projectors after removing all the screws

I put them in at 190* for 3-4 min and pulled them apart. 200* prolly would help because I still had to pull like hell.

Just make sure to have a couple pot holders around, they get warm

Do not try and pry them out with a knife or screw driver or they will crack, like so

I still got some of the surround when I pulled them apart. Not a big deal because the RTV will take care of it when they are reassembled.

Done for now

Also had to put a water pump on due to a leak so that took out some funds, while I was on a maintenance kick I done a tune up also.

That was fun.

Remembered I also had an antenna delete that I had on an old truck of mine so I threw that on too since I only use my phone for radio I can do without it.

Well while waiting on my HID's and projectors for the denali headlights I picked up a set of wheels from a member over on gmfullsize. Its a set of torque thrusts. They had some huge tires on them, but I had a set of take off's from work that fit perfect. Right now I only have pics of the wheels since it was dark when I finally for them on

I've never seen torque thrusts on a truck before. Should look good.
