SFAngus' non-Build thread

The goodies keep on arriving...





I picked up a used OEM sunroof deflector from NateMob for a great price...

It was filthy, but in great shape!

The only defect is one edge of the rubber gasket pulling away a little bit here:



I cleaned it all up, applied some silicone lubricant to the rubber, and then picked up a bottle of silicone sealant at my local O'Reilly's:



I used that to re-seal the gasket, and got it mounted to the truck in no time...

Before:



After:



 
WooHoo! Glad it arrived safely. Really functional mods/options that you are outfitting your truck with.

Wish I had so many goodies showing up on my doorstep :-( Is your wife jealous yet? Or is this normal activity for you? How much did you pay for the WAAG?

Haha. No, she's not jealous... yet. I think she's going to tell me to stop spending money soon though.

The brush guard was $489 from Andy's Auto Sports... plus $100 for freight. I didn't notice til after I ordered it that they're located in Morgan Hill. I probably should have just driven down there to get it!

It looks like our trucks are the black and white twins of the Bay Area- both limiteds, same mileage, and both have the silver trim :nerd:
 
So jealous of the WeatherTech mats, always wanted a full set for my '02. The factory mats are beyond saving now but the carpet is still in good shape..... Must have! lol

I know I thought the same thing. Except it looks like you have heated seats :cry2:

Looking forward to seeing the lights & brush guard on. I just ordered some bolt style LED's that I'm going to rig up somewhere on the front for running lights. Not sure where though.

What else do you have planned?

Oh nice!

I don't have a whole lot more planned... the next big project is the stereo, and then I'm considering an exhaust. I'm still debating between the full Borla exhaust, and just a Borla muffler, or keeping it stock. I really don't want it to be too loud for the long drives to and from Tahoe.
 
A couple more items arrived!



I got a brand new OEM foglight switch that I'm hoping I can wire up with my PIAA's. The popular option on here seems to be the OEM rocker switch, but for whatever reason I like the idea of the push-button fog switch, so that's what I picked up.

***On a side note- is there a wiring diagram posted anywhere for the connections on the back of these OEM switches? I did a bunch of searching, and couldn't find anything on here or Yotatech.

After doing some research on here (Thanks everyone!) I decided to order some new interior LED's from VLEDS.com.

I decided to start with replacing the front map lights, and the two overhead dome lights. A lot of the posts that I saw had the LED board conversion kit, but I didn't want anything crazy bright, just a little brighter and crisper then stock.

I went with the 5K white 3-led bulbs for the dome lights, (Part: 5K WHITE 1.5W 3 LED HIGH POWER UNIVERSAL DOME LIGHT BULB 31-36MM ADJUSTABLE 3175 DE3175).

For the reading lights, I had the idea to try red bulbs, so that they wouldn't be too blinding in the dark while driving. The map lights came in a pair: (RED 6 LED CANBUS PROOF LED LIGHT BULBS BA9S 57 1895 | 1 PAIR).

New versus Old map lights:



Here's the stock map light:



And the new red LED map light:



I like the look of the red light, and I think it will be nice not to ruin my vision in the dark, but they are substantially weaker then I was expecting, and I would have liked them to be a little brighter.

I decided to install the red LED in the driver side map light, and keep the stock white bulb on the passenger side, so that I have both options while driving at night.

Stock front dome light:



Both stock dome lights:



New LED front dome light:



Both new LED dome lights:



Overall, I'm very happy with the new dome lights. They are substantially brighter than stock, but not obnoxiously bright, and the 5K color is a nice bright white, not blueish.

I'm pleased with VLEDS, and I'll be ordering some license plate bulbs from them next.

Love the switch...I've been trying to find something like that on Ebay but all I come up with is stuff from Japan that tacks on another $15 for shipping. Do you have a P/N for that switch? Did you go to a dealer or did you buy it online?

The LED's look good. I did mine a few weeks ago through superbrightleds.com. All and all pretty happy with the results.

I found it on eBay... It's not the cheapest one on there, but I really wanted that style switch. $20 including shipping.
