Time for new lights. Found new parking lamps they came with the wire harness bulb sockets and bulbs preinstalled $40 for the pair which is an absolute steal. Also picked up left and right side headlights $70 for the pair also came with new sockets and bulbs.

Before.


New lights.


Sealing them.


After. Much better.


What a difference.


Bumpers going to be next. I will eventually upgrade HID's one day to be continued.

Which "plumbers tape" did you use for the door locks? I've been using some weak shit for stuff like that. At least I think its weak, I don't have a point of reference. Is there automotive grade plumbers tape? (I'm referring to the metal strips with holes)

The strips that came with the kit or much then "plumbers tape". You can go the Home Depot and buy a long flat bracket stip with holes they seem pretty thick. Or any good stereo shop should have the thicker brackets. I don't know if they're automotive a grade per se, but it's definitely A lot more heavy-duty than plumbers tape

Had a little time today to fix a small but annoying issue. Blower motor fan speed only works on high. The lower and mid speeds don't work at all. After a little online research I found it's a common issue with The Colorado/Canyon. It's caused by Loosefitting blower motor resistor connector which causes the parts to get burnt out.

What My investigation revealed. Here's the resistor.


And here's the connector.


Time to hit up Amazon, got a new resistor and connector for $14.












All done. Now I have all my fan speeds. Like I said nothing exciting but annoying as hell.


To be continued.

Got tired of looking at this cracked windshield so I finally put in a new one. $120 for the windshield installed. And a like new Gentex 261 for $10 from the same guy.









Looking all fresh now.






Here's the Gentex 261. My old rear view mirror was all broken so for $10 I can't complain. I'll order the pigtail and temp sensor next paycheck, you know how it is!

To be continued.

well time to fix up the garage! look forward to seeing the completed truck. I take it this isn't the one that you'll be pulling around your travel trailers with. Got a different truck for that job?

For the bigger trailers I have an old suburban. For anything under 25ft I'll use this.

Oh here's the Gentex 261. Just gotta wire it all up one day.

After











I gotta say it sure has came along way. To be continued.

Way better, make sure to at least rattle can those parts due to how fast rust goes through the entire coat.

It's been ready months ago. I've been using it as my daily driver since.
