Thats awesome man! Congrats!

Sent from the boonies

Thanks man. Too bad this house is only temporary. I am only flipping this house so eventually I can buy my dream house out in the country with a even bigger garage!

Look at all that room for activities!

I know right the 350 in the back ground is for the stepside in the background. And there's more room than that. :rofl:

Congrats on the new place and getting the truck back!

Thanks man! It was a very long month. Once the snow dies away and salt washes away on the roads I'll drive her around a bit test out the new tranny!

Im jealous of the door panels and garage space! It looks so clean! Makes me want some :hmm: I wish i had a garage that big. I have to do all my work in the driveway. I was so sunburnt after installing my lift kit, not to mention it started raining when i was working on the front :bawl:

The truck looks sick man! Definitly keep us updated!

I really love my door panels. I grew tired reaching for the wall without knowing if I'm going to hit the right button or not. Now that I got these new panels, I find myself still going for the wall of the panel as do my friends riding shotgun. :rofl:

That's one of the main reasons why I got this garage, but I haven't worked in the garage actually yet, just had the truck parked in there. Need to figure out whats wrong with the forced air gas heater hanging on the wall. Then I can go to town on the truck. :gr_grin:

Other than my tranny getting rebuilt and having many issues since I haven't done much to the truck. But I splurged a little and got a tailgate emblem for her. Came in today!

I didn't realize it was stainless steel but I'm going to paint it like my grille emblem anyway, so it doesn't really bother me any. :rofl:

truck looks great. I have the same door panels for mine. except they're gray so I'll looking for paint. I love them sooo much, especially since they light up so I can see em. I also found all mirror harnesses are plug and play into the controller so pretty much any gmt400 harness will work.

WTH.... mine don't light up.... I figured they would have lit up with the already present power coming into the switches but they didn't....

there should be a grey wire in the harness somewhere I'm guessing it wouldn't be plug and play if they had the lighting circuit. maybe yours are different

When I get powered mirrors I look into it some more. I dont feel like ripping it all apart just for a chance of getting the switches lit. :rofl:

Good Luck Man! When i get back to wiring power mirrors up, I think I might just throw some blue LED's underneath the switches to match the rest of the lights in the truck.
