I know you already got them but Ill give you my experience, esp since once you put holes in your roof you're pretty much committed!!!
I have it on my 06 and honestly its useless. It glares alot on the windshield and the hood. Since I have a white truck, the hood really glows and ends up ruining my night vision (my eyes end up adapting to the light reflecting back from the hood I cant see in the dark anymore)
I actually can see better without it than with it! Whats worse is if you have some dust on the windshield, those glow too. I end up using the windshield wipers to clean it but since I drive in the desert its hopeless!
Finally, they make alot of wind noise when going above 70.

The problem with those lights is that the mouting location and the flood beam. If they were 2" forward or backword the windshield glare would be gone. The hood can be solved by adding some black vinyl or black magnetic sheets, or even adding a stripe of window tinting to the bottom part of the windshield (enough to block what you see from the hood)

I have heard about those issues as well. I plan on retrofitting some better led lights in there, light bar, pods, whatever lol that should solve the glare issue, atleast I've heard that a couple of people who retrofitted them didnt have the glare.

As far as wind noise goes, its jot my daily so luckily I wont have to deal too much with that Haha. Itll probably be a while before they actually get mounted.

Thank you though!

Installed the Schwarttzy skid plate. Since I have the SAS I only did the t-case plate. Had to slightly trim a couple corners, otherwise easy install.

Went for inspection and didn't realize my check engine light was on (smh), had my grandfather's memorial card blocking it (lol) and turns out I have P0894, P0365, P0366, and Evap

Now driving around with expired inspection and need to figure out fixes for the above codes

Replace two camshaft position sensors and probably change your Evaporate canister and you’ll be good except for the transmission code. Might just need an oil and filter change.

Try replacing the gas cap.

Sold my tires. Didn't really expect to, but got a good offer. Need to get some KM3s pretty quick now. Rolling on 32" Blizzaks looks stupid in the winter. It's going to look really bad in the spring!

Quick temporary hi-lift mount.

Updated my build thread with the backlog of work I've done the last couple months. Also gave a crack at painting the factory wheels. Only did one today to see how it would turn out.

amrg · Mar 8, 2020

Looks good I think

Roastbeast · Mar 8, 2020

Rims look great. What color you spray them?

VHT graphite wheel paint. Trying to decide what to do about the hubcap. Might leave it silver, might paint just the round portion. If I just paint the round portion then I'll probably paint the "HUMMER" letters as well. Might just paint the whole thing, but I think it'd look better with some kind of contrast.

I vote paint everything except the letters it will make them stand out.

took apart the sunroof drains and drilled them out and cleaned the tubes out. I'm not sure you guys with bigger hands get up in the passenger side. I am a smaller guy and i still chewed my hands up pretty good

New front diff bushing yeah buddy

Is it necessary to get a new bolt, washer, and nut for it?

If the old ones are in good shape, no.

Remove the plastic cover from the side and cut a triangle hole in the plastic, makes it far easier to work on. You'll never see the hole when the cover is on.

The bolt and nut look fine. The washer is not flat. Is it supposed to be flat? Thanks. I’m going to put the crossmember back in tomorrow.

Hopefully this solves my clunking noise.

No, the large washer (about a couple inches in diameter or so) is dished. The bushing face should have a similar shape to it I think.

Finally installed the lower grill off-road lights that were gathering dust in the barn.

Traxx · Mar 16, 2020

Nice day out so figured I would start the exhaust manifold replacement. Got the manifold off and gave the broken stud some soaking in PB blaster for a day or two while waiting on some new larger vise grips to show up.
Since I was bored I dropped the trans pan and ordered the pinless forward and 1-2 accumulators and a corvette servo for it to see if it cures the slippy 1-2 shift or just order a reman. For 85$ with Dex it seemed cheap enough to give it a go.

Korby7 · Mar 17, 2020

Have some time on my hands “working from home” for the next 30 days. Starting to dial in the suspension. Needs limiting straps and re-routing front brake lines. Adams drive shafts coming tomorrow.

RamRod · Mar 18, 2020

Put on a new to me FrontRunner roof top tent and installed a new black cover for it... now those straps look really UV damaged and I think I will replace those as well
