Project: The Green Machine

What color is your interior now?

Tan/Beige

Got the seats in, they actually don't look as bad as I thought they would.  I've got the center console in, but it's not bolted down yet.  I'll snap some pics tomorrow.

I don't doubt it looks good at all.  My interior is 'pewter' and I think it looks better with the dark grey seats and console then it did with the stock pewter seats.

The wire on the center console is for my ipod, I haven't decided how I want to run it just yet.  I think I'll just get the seats recovered one day down the road.  

Oh and I need a new rubber insert for the cup holder if anyone knows how to get one?

Those are nice seats, sunfire seats you said?

yeah, they came out of a sunfire.  pretty easy to install.  only complaint is that right now I have the seat belt on the bolt that holds the top and bottom of the seat together.  i'd rather have them bolted to the floor on the big bolts where the middle seat belt was. 

oh and the seats don't lean forward to put stuff behind them

Damn, that's a deal breaker for my blazer. People aren't allowed back there, but I do put stuff back there regularly.

im assuming you got them out of a 4 door?

when i had sunfire seats i got them out of a 2door, and they leaned forwards.

yeah, they came out of a 4 door, the 2 doors lean forward.  not a big deal with a reg cab, can't fit much behind it anyways.

got the window tint redone the other day under warranty.  if you look in the last pic I posted you can see to back edge of the tint was messed up on both doors.  I had 13% (illegal) on the fronts and back window before and now it's 32% (legal limit in GA) on the sides and just the factory tint on the back window (the shop said that it's 13%).  it's nice being able to see out the back window at night now. lol

nothing really new to add to the thread, but I snapped a new pic the other night:

less parked photos, want more action!!

Where did you find the slp wheels? I like em.

new part!

Nice!  I just installed one of those in my long bed after relocating the center support bearing cross member to clear a 1 piece aluminum shaft.  Haven't tossed it around yet, but I certainly rest easier knowing it is there.

yeah, i know it's no miracle maker, but it's one of those last "cheap" things i have left for the truck. lol

haven't put it on yet, i assume you have to at least lift the front of the bed up to put it on.

Yup have to lift the bed, I slid my bed back so I had plenty of room.

I ended up lifting the bed off using the lift out in the shop, but I've also used an engine crane and some ratchet straps before.  When I had the whole truck up in the air and the driveshaft out I was able to mock it up in place, but thought it would be easier from the top to drill out the holes.  You should already have them from my understanding, so with a second person you might be able to snake it in from underneath.  Depending on how much rust your bed may have seen that may be attractive.

Tahdah!



it was actually pretty easy to put on.  just had to have someone help slide the bed back.  one thing i noticed the brace did was it pulled the ears the bed mounts to closer together.  I haven't driven it yet, just got done putting it back together.

what do you guys think of the truck sans bumper?

All trucks are better sans rear bumper.
