    iPad in dash build

    ^That looks great! I'd love to have an underseat sub box. The behind the seat box looks like it will pound the air out of your chest. I've made a serious stereo upgrade since I posted last. I chose to go with a stock stereo... but the stereo came with a new truck as well. LOL They old truck...

    Thanks for your quick answer. Please keep us up to date as you make progress on the truck. The truck looks amazing, btw

    iPad in dash build

    I love this. I have also thought of doing my cd player section like this to mount a tablet. Sonicelectronix.com sells a bluetooth adapter so you can send audio signal directly to your amp inputs so you wouldn't need a head unit at all. I can't remember the company that makes it off the top of my...

    1989 GMC extended cab long bed work truck: Lowering

    I'm going to revive this long dead thread to prevent from creating a new one that covers some of the same topics. I'm also looking at doing a 4/6 drop on my Ext cab but I'm wanting to use 2"spindles and 2" springs. I'm still running the factory chrome steel wheels so will my LCA need to have...

    92/94 Led gauge install (for) best results

    So.... in the vein of "what can go wrong,will", I pulled the cluster out again, sanded the back of the display to get true white light shining through rather than the green and swapped the LEDs around. I have full white light across the entire gauge but now only my upper gauges work. Both the...

    92/94 Led gauge install (for) best results

    I'm going to revive this long dead thread because I just did this today. I bought the white LEDs with twist locks from ebay,10 for $7.65 and free shipping. As we all know, LEDs need to be installed in a specific polarity to work. As we all also know, Murphy and his laws are always near us when...

    6x9 speakers

    I understand completely.

    6x9 speakers

    5.25s aren't too different than 6.5s when it comes to sound. I can handle those. What size amp are you running on yours?

    6x9 speakers

    I'm looking to upgrade my rear extended cab speakers. Will the 6.5s not fit under the trim, even if the structure under the trim is modified? Also, is anyone running amplification on their minds and highs?

    How can I fill in window crank holes on door panels?

    Those panels look great. My panels are indeed the super flat ones. I like that, though. If I were to put speakers in my door panels, I obviously would have to cut them up and I don't know if that would add to the over all look of my truck I'm going for. I have a set of kicker 6.5"s with grills...

    Ashtray spring

    Mine doesn't have that wide of a flat spot to mount additional outlets there. Yours looks good;if someone didn't know our trucks, they'd think it was a factory fit. I've been busy getting things ready to leave for vacation all this week so all I've managed to do it just buy my outlet and get it...

    Ashtray spring

    My ashtray did the same thing. I've decided to add one of those universal 12v outlets that most parts stores sell to the front of my center console about midway down. It will be close enough to give me more slack for my phone charger, I won't have the cord draping from the dash to the console...

    Ashtray spring

    My ash tray has the same issue. I've considered putting one of those aftermarket 12v outlet things in the front of my center console facing forward so it easily accessible, plenty of cord left for my charger, but not in plain sight. BTW, my center console is one of those uni

    How can I fill in window crank holes on door panels?

    That's pretty damn smart. These door panels don't have any speaker cut outs at all so having a lone tweeter in the center of a door panel would look wierd but if I added a component set like DF2X4 said, it'd be a nice touch. Super Dave, the metal insert would actually be a great quick fix for...

    Front brakes not going back on?

    Here in Tennessee, we get some road salt in the deepest parts of winter but for a car to get severe rust here it's extremely rare. We get mostly base of fender or cab corner rust because of leaf buildup holding moisture in those hard to access spots. The pull a parts or pick and pulls get their...

    Front brakes not going back on?

    Dylan, I agree 100%. I make sure if I'm not improving the quality of the truck, I'm not doing it. Of course when it comes to looks, we're all different on what constitutes improving. The sleeves in my calipers seemed to have some sort of rubber bushing type material around them but it was so...

    Front brakes not going back on?

    Nevermind. I used the c clamp to force the sleeves back. Everything that needed grease was dry and everything that should be dry is greasy. Welcome to used trucks.

    Front brakes not going back on?

    I bought ceramic brakes pads for my 94 Sierra and now I'm thinking they're too thick? I removed the old pads, compressed the piston, put the new pads on the caliper and now the sleeves on the back of the caliper hit the bracket on the back of the spindle rather sliding past it for the brake...

    How can I fill in window crank holes on door panels?

    That has a certain mad scientist element to it that I love. I've never heard of that method before and I really like it. Thanks for your input. I'll definitely give that a try.

    How can I fill in window crank holes on door panels?

    I have a '94 Sierra that was missing door panels when I got it. The door panels I found don't match and I'm scratching my head trying to figure out how to make them look better. The donor trucks both had manual windows and the right door panel had a badge inset just above the trim panel where...

    The Stupid Lowered Questions Thread

    The flip kit I was looking at was on ebay (I guess that should've been my first clue.) I did look around and find several others that also didn't include the u bolts. The mini notch is a nice addition that not all flip kits come with. I looked at the DJM kit and compared it to the belltech...

    The Stupid Lowered Questions Thread

    When I look at flip kits for this truck, none of them come with the U bolts. Can I reuse the factory U bolts or do I need longer ones? I'd expect the factory ones to be long enough but I would hate to have my trucks rear end apart just to find out I have to order them from somewhere.

    How do you know if your truck originally had keyless entry?

    I did that exact procedure when I programmed my remote with the key out and my horn doesn't chirp when I set the alarm. Maybe the 95s don't have that option. I'm considering chasing down the wire that sends the lock signal from the receiver and splicing in a diode to act as a check valve for the...

    3" lift and 33" tires questions

    My wheels and tires do stick out from under my fenders by a solid 2-3" now. Does anyone know what the Tn law says about tires outside the fenders? My 3" body lift is now on. I'm happier than a pig in . I still wound up having to crank my T bars just ever so slightly and then of course I had...
