    My nameless '89 sierra

    Continuing with the interior work, I had decided to upgrade the sterio a little bit next. I didn't need or really want anything too big or loud, I hate the look of the trucks with 3 giant subs in the middle of the seat, and anymore I don't even turn it up all the way except maybe a few times a...

    My nameless '89 sierra

    The interior was nearing completion, and I was starting to shop around for a seat, or good quality seat cover if I could find one. The options I eventually got narrowed down to were to either buy a whole new leather bench seat, (what I really wanted was just a plain, classic pleated black...

    Angels and demons: An obs headlight build

    I bet a lot of you thought I had scrapped this entire project, given it's been nearly a month since my last post. I haven't scrapped it, just haven't had any time to work on it. I picked up a pretty big side job and have been spending every moment doing that when I haven't been at my regular...

    I don't know if anyone here has done any kind of emblem modding besides just painting or changing the insert, but I had wanted the truck to look aggressive in almost every way, and had a sudden idea one day.. The standard emblem had been painted the same time I did the grill, and it did look...

    Sport mirrors

    I don't know what is expected to be seen out of a side mirror, If you expect to see everything, period. Then no, these won't be good for you, nothing but tow mirrors give you a much wider field of vision. I should have clarified that you can see everything you NEED to see just fine, but not...

    Sport mirrors

    I got mine from Summit awhile ago, and yes they are just cheap, black abs plastic, but what would you really expect for $30/pair? I have never had issues seeing out of them though. If you have a truck like these were originally designed for, a regular cab without a canopy, you can see everything...

    Sport mirrors

    Took me about 10 mins each side. there is a small torx screw that holds the outside cover on where it attaches to the door, located at the very bottom of the cover, remove that and the cover pops off. From there i believe it might depend on the year but the older ones have three bolts behind...

    Sport mirrors

    I guess that depends on your definition of sport mirrors. If you're talking about the smaller mirrors but still made for the truck, then none. Mine had the big I call em farm mirrors, and I switched to the 454 style, if thats kind of what you mean. As long as it's a mirror that was made for...

    Angels and demons: An obs headlight build

    Well this weekend was a total bust when it came to getting any free time to work on the headlights, which isn't a big deal right now because I received my new morimoto projectors and hid kit in the mail Saturday and when I opened the box i found I had made a major mistake. First, let me just say...

    And how they look mounted in the truck, I ended up putting them on the plastic roof trim because I wanted them to be seen, but didn't want to cover the factory 4x6? Pockets below the seat belt hangers. I had also tinted the rear window with some extra 35% film I had from a previous project...

    At this point I was getting a little bored with removing panels and painting and those tiny plastic clips that constantly break, so I started a little audio project. I had a set of older logitech surround sound speakers, the little 1.5" satellite speakers that look like tweeters but play a full...

    Continuing the work on the interior, I covered the lower door jamb plates with more diamond plate veneer, because paint obviously wouldn't hold up. I also put the diamond veneer along the bottom of the dash, you might be able to see it in the last picture. The same day I covered the jamb...

    Angels and demons: An obs headlight build

    I just received a message from a member asking about a few details that I forgot to mention or rather had not yet mentioned. His concerns were: how am I going to be adjusting the projectors? What am I going to do for front lenses? What hid's am I going with? Why use such cheap projectors...

    Angels and demons: An obs headlight build

    Today was a pretty productive day on the build, for only having a few hours after work. I was worried that the concept I had in my head wouldnt work too well, as far as fitment and brightness of the accents was concerned. Well today I am satisfied that it will all work very well together, and...

    My nameless '89 sierra

    I think its probably obvious at this point that I redid the interior first, probably because it's the cheaper space to make look good, since most things you need are leather/fabric material, paint, dyes, etc. Which are usually cheaper than a set of wheels or fender flares. So next up was the...

    At one point in time the showroom at my work was throwing away an interactive shower display, (I work for Keller plumbing supply, so you might see plumbing parts incorporated into my builds more than once.) it was a large kiosk thing that hung on the wall and had a screen and several remotes...

    Next I painted the grille. The fake chrome "plating" was peeling back around the corners and looked horrible, so I painstakingly peeled it all off and smoothed it with a couple grits of sandpaper. Then I used hammered black spray paint again where the chrome was... -side note: I end up using...

    My nameless '89 sierra

    The next few days I worked on changing a few small interior details. First was doing something about that ugly steering wheel and stick. I cut the rubber off the spokes and sprayed them with hammered black spray paint, then took a chrome plumbing flange and sinktop hole cover to cover the...

    Hey guys, I've been on the forum for about 3 days now and have received a few requests for a complete build thread on my truck, so here it is. I don't have a cool name for it like most of you guys do, I guess that's the first thing you do before joining a truck group and I just can't come up...

(2) NILITE Bi-xenon HID projectors ($25, Walmart.com, they come with gatling shrouds) 2. (4) COLORMORPH...
