[ABNTROOP]

Well, got the gobi mounted, and the ladder, still waitin on the wind fairing, ordered up the plastic door handle covers, side view mirror covers, and turn signal covers, stripped all the chrome off them and plastidipped them as well as the hood louvers/ handles and wheel center caps and gas cover. Got the rock rails in and mounted.

Great looking Truck. Tell me a little more about the bluestar. Where's the onstar module? How does streaming music work?! Thanks.

 

[ABNTROOP]

On star modules right behind your stereo deck, two plugs unplug off it and plug into bluestar. To stream, you hit the Red Cross button on your rear view mirror and play music off your device. Easy peasy

 

[Sethmark]

That's it?!?!? Wow. Thanks.

 

[H3slate]

Wow! Truck is really coming together!! Just need some 35's, then we can go play. :thumbs:

 

[Sethmark]

Is the bluestar unit working in stereo or mono? Near as I can tell its not stereo.

Not sure,haven't noticed a big enough downgrade in audio quality to bother me, but then again, my hearing sucks. Too much gunfire and rock music over the years

 

[ABNTROOP]

Just a quick question, I got my tires ordered, bumpin up from stock 265's to BF Goodrich A/T 315/75R16's (primarily because I spend more time commuting than off road and all our work trucks run them along with most of the personal trucks of my coworkers and no one had Anything but great opinions of them both handling and mileage wise, and secondly I got a hell of a deal price wise on them) but the thought just occurred to me so I thought I'd ask. Will I run I to any issues with the tire pressure sensors? Will they need to be recalibrated? Any info is appreciated! Thanks!

 

[H3slate]

Nice! You won't have any problems with the sensors. The tire installer should be able to reprogram them. And that is just so the computer knows which tires are on the ground.

So I had seen he "wolf in wolf's clothing" thing pop up on here several times, liked that idea with my alpha being grey. Then I spotted these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007WR25DY/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1367186057&sr=8-11&pi=SL75
so I ordered three of them. Got them. They're pretty good sized, well made, look bad ass and they fit perfectly, three wide in the center portion of the gobi stealth rack, and fit perfectly length wise in that portion of the rack as well. It's like they were made for it. So if you're in th market for waterproof roof top duffels at a great price these are worth a gander. I'll be fully loading them and running them for the first time on memorial, so I'll do a follow up then with some pics!

 

[TAPDH3T]

I like the concept, they look real sturdy! Can't wait to see them in action!!

Where the best place to buy this at in your opinion?

TAPADROID

 

[ABNTROOP]

Bought mine straight off amazon. Free shipping and easy returns if I had an issue.

 

[ABNTROOP]

Mission new shoes complete, tires showed up in the mail today, just got them installed! BF Goodrich AT KO 315/75R 16

 

[ABNTROOP]

For those few on the fence, 265 to 315 upgrade is noticeable! Here's some quick comparison shots. Old tires are Goodyear wrangler Rts

 

[H3slate]

Looking good!! :thumbs: Now you just need to go "test" them.

 

[ABNTROOP]

Yeah yeah, I'm gettin there! :giggle:Couple more weeks! Workin crazy overtime for the moment, which is good, gotta get my credit card paid back down! :gaah:

 

[Sethmark]

Looks great. I like that you have the same color and option package that I have.

Can I make some suggestions on stuff I'd like you to try so I see how it looks?


J/k
