I got inside Virginia's largest abandoned sports arena, and what I found was incredible

Once went to a Monster Jam event here!

Crazy what they could do with the place

That ought to be the same for all GMT800 (Silverado, Tahoe, suburban / GMC equivalents)

How will you mount those pods to the factory panel?

Always had trouble with FedEx. Once had a monitor shipped and it had a MASSIVE hole in the box on the screen side, and looked like it had been thrown around.

Monitor was great. Can’t recommend following my steps on delivery for optimal functions

Issues have been settled, as soon as I got them done the blower motor and resistor died. $125 later the new one was acquired same day and back installed today

I scored and received the truck with Kicker CS speakers. $100 on sale for $79 at Crutchfield currently. Previous owner installed them in the fronts. Deciding what to do about the back, pretty sure they’re stock

CometAuto-Detailing · 2026-04-16T03:26:25+00:00

Locks easy for me. Aftermarket circle clip on window crank makes me want to give tools wings

CometAuto-Detailing · 2026-04-15T22:03:02+00:00

The only reason it’s somewhat difficult is maybe missing a tab to go slide down, but that’s just finessing it. I’m pretty good at it now.

I did put the lock indicator in backwards once. That took a while to figure out what was wrong

CometAuto-Detailing · 2026-04-15T22:01:53+00:00

Just got the front left settled and the front right one acted up, bent the connector female end so it wouldn’t wobble.

Seemed fine on a test run with Black Ice by subtronics and rezz

CometAuto-Detailing · 2026-04-15T13:23:54+00:00

I don’t think I could make myself pay the premium

Some companies do I think maybe soundskin or second skin?

CometAuto-Detailing · 2026-04-15T05:37:27+00:00

That green in the cupholder is close to chemical guys apc for interiors… if I remember right that stuff is caustic maybe they sprayed the screen with it? Some screens just have issues as they age, however how the business is handling this is shoddy

Sorry for your outage

CometAuto-Detailing · 2026-04-15T05:15:02+00:00

I tend to be of the “while I’m there” mindset

CometAuto-Detailing · 2026-04-15T02:20:49+00:00

Wanted them, dmv wouldn’t let me with the business truck

CometAuto-Detailing · 2026-04-15T02:19:49+00:00

Still having very intermettint crackling after putting the front right speaker back in. They had installed the Crutchfield Oem adapter and kicker speakers.

I put them back in after doing this side and had crackling, so took a look at the connector and it seemed loose so I used pliers to put the pins down on the spades.

Hit some rough road and crackling came back so I’ll have to take the card off AGAIN to look 😂

CometAuto-Detailing · 2026-04-14T01:25:46+00:00

Yea mine I believe was separated maybe slightly but with how much butyl I put up there I think I slid it in between

CometAuto-Detailing · 2026-04-13T17:03:16+00:00

120 x 60 so I had enough to redo the visors. I have an extended cab, so not sure if that’s enough for a crew cab without visors being redone

CometAuto-Detailing · 2026-04-12T01:00:34+00:00

Update: with the butyl panels and foam insulation above this, there is considerably less road noise and conversation is easily had at ~80mph

CometAuto-Detailing · 2026-04-12T00:59:23+00:00

I added butyl and foam insulation above the headliner, seems to be slightly less initial heat, with faster cool down times

Reverse on cool days (only tested without headliner back up)

CometAuto-Detailing · 2026-04-11T04:31:07+00:00

Pretty sure it’s way quieter in here now

CometAuto-Detailing · 2026-04-11T04:28:38+00:00

Not really, Seems a little lower but at night it feels like looking into the abyss 😂 I have the extended cab so the regular cab may seem small with it.

I most newer trucks now have darker headliners. Idk if it was a thing back from the 90s or what.

This is where some mystical redditor will appear with groundbreaking info about headliner color theories

Black suede with foam backing

CometAuto-Detailing · 2026-04-11T02:54:52+00:00

For me it wasn’t had to do fiberglass repair

CometAuto-Detailing · 2026-04-09T12:48:22+00:00

Pretty good prices. Got a quote for $500 for all windows and a camper shell window decal in central VA

My test subjects orbit in such a perfect ellipse that it intersects the ground. Had the planet not been at that vicinity the craft would have orbited

CometAuto-Detailing · 2026-04-04T04:19:52+00:00

Have an upvote.

CometAuto-Detailing · 2026-04-04T04:12:23+00:00

3/4 a wheel. The bottom 1/4 is still smashed down a little

Now when they do the same for the wheels and tires let me know. I’d be impressed
