How to: Christmas Lights On Your Car or Truck
Thinking about using your idea and mounting a small USB charged fan to the inside of it to circulate air in and out of the side window sleeves.
I still have the OEM top strut bolts. Just to confirm the switch, all I have to do is compress spring using a large curb, take off bilstein provided nut, add OEM nut and tighten to spec?
If youre lifting it more than 1.75" with this taller shock you will also need larger upper control arms installed so that your stock upper ball joints dont bind and prevent any travel.
Did you notice any noises when driving on flat roads or mostly when turning and or articulating the suspension? I think I may have the same issue.
Nice GX. Are those rims the stock color or did you plasti-dip them? I have a 2009 GX, but my stock rims are chrome. Yours looks more gun metal. I’ve been looking at getting some gun metal TRD pro wheels but plastic-dipping my stock rims might be a reasonable option. What kind of tires and what size are they?
Probably Sport package wheels, had a dark graphite finish.
So I just went to my local pick and pull today to find one of these boxes to do exactly what you did. This was before I saw your video, so it was great seeing that there was someone else that had the same idea! Your video was fantastic, and helped me so much in deciding how to retrofit the box to make it fit my newer GM vehicle. Thank you for a well done video. Fantastic!!!
You da man!
How tall is the driver
About 6 foot 2.
How did this method affect the daytime runnings lights?
It did not. The DRL's are controlled by a separate box module in the fuse panel under the hood.
Nice mod! I came across your mod while searching for ideas on how to use back slider as entry for diesel heater 3” hose to heat the interior of our F350 during cold weather camping trips. Rather than a screen, I’ll use plywood with 3” hole to accept heater hose….thank you!
No way! I had that exact same idea. My plan was to make the exact same size panel but plywood like you said. Then route the diesel heater through it, and mount a thermostat to the panel as well. Great idea!
What Bluetooth is that ?
Thanks this solved my issue. While on the subject what notch or setting do you have your Bilsteins?
Mine are actually on the highest setting. Sorry for the late reply!
How comfortable are they on the highway roads and city streets? Are they harsh and unbearable?
What size washer did you use?
Don't remember. I just took the nut to lowes and matched up a stainless washer.@@ryanbrown1350
@@AmokofI wouldn’t say harsh. But they are stiffer. So if your approach is a more “car like” ride . This isn’t the answer. If you need a level, and or you just want a better longer lasting shock especially if you tow occasionally this is for you.
Thank you. I followed your steps and it all worked great. One add: I used some scrap sheet steel to reinforce the box floor since the tray isn’t flat. I sandwiched it between the truck battery tray and the bottom of the box. Great job on the video and detailed instructions. Saved me a ton of trial & error.
Good idea on the metal plate to reinforce the bottom. Then it can distribute the clamping force.
Are those tires Ko2?
Yes
I got my gx470 timing belt and water pump done at a Toyota dealership, less than $1000.
Sounds like a good price. We did it on this truck last winter and it took 12 hours for two amateurs.
How did you score that! Thats $2000+ job at a stealership usually..
Hey man. Thanks for the video. Was the mod worth it? Does it make a difference on long trips?
Absolutely. Long trips is when it's most noticable as your body weight is spread out along your whole thigh instead of just your buttox.
Bro literally ruined those hood bolts trying to install the brackets lol, good luck trying to take them off
The bolts are fine, they paint them body color, what you're seeing is just the paint coming off from the initial removal.
3:08 "use the yellow which is the ground for low beam",3:59 "purple, of course being the low beam ground" lol holy cow you need a new harness . It looks like you got a stereo installed at best buy with all that mess!. Im just busting your balls but wow killer. Might want to clean all that up at sone point with a new used harness and just table build it. I figure this is old and its been taken care of but then again, being an S10 guy myself...it is probably NOT. So , if you still have the truck....clean your wiring up, i can smell the fire and multiple electrical faults from North Carolina
Nice. What's the blue tooth? I didn't see the link? Thanks
I think the Lexus VIN maintenance history hack doesn't work anymore. Cool video otherwise
I'm definitely looking up to owning a GX470 one day
I can tell ya for free the timing belt job is a bitch and a half
Is he finished with the vehicle yet? Will we see an update?
The GX has seen some additional modifications since this video. We will be re-recording the walk through in the next few weeks.
Nice! I have an 04 same color. I’m adding that barn door light to mine. Awesome..
Definitely saving this video. Nice, practical build. I hadn't considered this tire setup with the spacers. Looks great, might be the path I go.
Did I miss it? Are you on stock suspension?
Yes all stock suspension, for now haha
@@GGboiskilla awesome, thanks for the info.
Nice GX!
Nice GX!
Nice GX!
Thanks!
That's a rob roy
Well done and well presented, thanks for sharing this!
Thank you for the kind words!
Trying to find one and having no luck for my 1998 k2500
@@fr0stykrampus185 I bought one box on eBay, used, which I cleaned up and prepared for the same install as in the video - and another, a brand new OEM via a GM parts supplier (in case I screwed up the first one). Neither were cheap. I still have the brand new OEM box if you're interested. Unfortunately, I was only able to source one lid via eBay.
I got mine from a pick and pull. Or a junk yard, whatever you want to call it.@@fr0stykrampus185
Great video
This is exactly what I was looking for!! Took me days for some reason to this. I am also surprised it was posted 6 years ago 😅😂
Glad I could help!
I've had an LED bulb set for about a year because I was dreading the job but it looks pretty easy. Thanks. I have an 03 S10. I always have issues getting the dash bezel to let go. I have 2 repairs right above the 4x4 switch. That plastic gets brittle over the years. I have a cover over it now.
Gotta love GM plastic after it's exposed to UV light for 20 years. And you're right. It's not hard at all.
Nice! See what happens when you add 5500 lights! Check out my Tesla and neighbor's Fusion - ua-cam.com/video/oQyVxLXdJr0/v-deo.html How to coming soon.
Can I hook two power inverters directly to the truck battery and run 4 led Christmas lights . ?????
Yes it can go directly to the battery.
@@LagerGarage 👍🏼
Love your truck. I own a 2001 Blazer 4D that I’m trying to imitate your truck basically. An adventure machine. I’m looking for a 5th wheel carrier that will fit but it’s hard. Couple questions: 1. Do you still own/drive the Blazer today? (Why or why not? 2. Who makes your roof basket?
Hi! I do not own the blazer anymore. I sold it for a smaller car at the time, though I've since went back to larger vehicles with a Suburban and GMC Sierra. The roof basket was custom made out of metal electrical conduit, 90 degree curved elbow sections, t-junctions, and regular double ended junctions.
How you may connect behind the radio which cable where is go. If you're available can you please repeat again but behind thank you. Sorry for my broken English
Is there a possibility of getting pulled over for this or is it illegal in any way
Yes it is Illegal. In the US you are only allowed to have a very specific set of lights on your vehicle. They set limits for the number of white forward facing, red rear facing, and rules for turn signals. Having a string of many randomly colored lights is not allowed when driving.
for any antenna need tune?? thx.
I plan on doing this for my s10 xtreme. Excuse my ignorance brotha man but how many bulbs does the heater control? Im making sure to buy sufficient leds
I believe it was 5 or 6. An S10 xtreme is very cool. Hold onto that one.
Superglue near clear plastic made me cringe. The fumes alone will turn clear plastic milk white
You live and learn. Won't be doing that again.
Very well explained
looks like those tail lights could use a wet sand and cleared.
Hey where did you find that kit at?
Where did you get the cb mount enclosure? ?
It was custom cut out of the factory enclosure. A tape deck used to be housed there from the factory.
The 30 pin is the power pin
You have a bunch of trash on your dash
How did you get red LEDs in your headlight control module?
where did you get your camo dash trim?
Looks hydro dipped to me. Look up hydro dipping or you can do it yourself
Hydro dipping is great, and it's what I would recommend. This was just film from pep boys and didn't turn out as good as hydro dipping would have.
