2003 GMC Sonoma ZR2 Build

So I tore into this Saturday... I'm not crazy about the looks of the headlights themselves, but I do love them at night.
It turned into a bigger project than I anticipated. I was hoping I could fit the ballasts somewhere behind the grill, but I ended up mounting them inside the steel bumper below each headlight. The longest part was running all the wiring. I wanted to keep it clean so I ran it all inside the factory harness. The ballasts are ran to relays that are triggered by the stock low beam plug.

factory mounting location for the ballasts is to the radiator support behind the rebar. now you gotta find some bravada hvac knobs & if you don't smoke, a ashtray delete panel from a 99-01 envoy or diamond edt jimmy. it'll give you a lighter port & 2 extra acc ports

I love the look of your Sonoma. I came across a post on Facebook of these seats and I was wondering your opinion on them? They certainly are different

the diamond pleat gives it a 50s or 60s custom feel

Ah sorry I missed your post!
Those are from a Diamond Edition Jimmy. They're rare... But I've never been a huge fan of them.


Finally got around to installing my sub & amp. Not exactly the cleanest looking location for a box, but I got all of this for free, so it'll work fine for now.



Removed the seat back and it folds up perfectly over the amp.

So I'm currently trying to find one of these... Ash tray delete panel from a GMC Jimmy Envoy/Diamond Edition.
It may come in others with center shifter, not sure. If anyone finds this I will love you long time

So I haven't done a lot to this thing lately.

I finally found an Envoy ashtray delete. I put a dual USB charger on the right side and the center USB syncs to my headunit. Now I just need to find the right shade of paint to match my interior.











I've been missing my light bar from my old Yukon, so this was sort of an impulse buy... Honestly, I don't think I care for it that much. I'll see how I feel about it after I mount my light to it.







Some piece of **** sliced two of my front tires a couple weeks ago, but it didn't go all the way through the sidewalls. I was hoping I could make it to work and back on them for a few days until my new tires came in but one of them gave out..







So I picked up a set of new KM2's Saturday!

Looking good.

Who the F would slash a sidewall. People these days piss me off.

Yeah, I have no idea. It happened while I was parked on the street at a friend's house in Houston. Couldn't have been anyone that knew me.
