since March of 2005. That was the last big mod gtg we had...
Well add me to the remote tailgate list, and the back up cam list, and the fulltime DRL list, and cargo area light switch list, and the cargo area 12V power socket list, and the... well that's all I can think of at the moment! I have parts for most all of them except for the DPDT switch for my backup system and the actuator et al for the remote tailgate mod. Oh and I'm pretty much booked up on weekends from now til mid to late April!  http://www.chevyavalanchefanclub.com/cafcna/index.php/topic,42075.0/all.html - http://www.chevyavalanchefanclub.com/cafcna/index.php/topic,42075.0/all.html
I've also got the parts to http://www.chevyavalanchefanclub.com/cafcna/index.php?board=19;action=display;threadid=29387;start=;boardseen=1 - relocate my trailer plug into the bumper ... add a http://www.clubavalanche.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=52&t=1865 - power inverter into the center console & couple more mods that I thought were cool but can't remember right now. ------------- 2003 Light Pewter Metallic Z71 WBH |

Hey Chuck, I have the parts list and scematics for the full time DRL mod if youd like them forwarded. For the '03-'05 it's a really simple, inexpensive mod. ------------- Just Drive Man!!! |

That'd be cool... I know I need to get off my butt and do some of these mods on my own. But the big ones like cutting open my tailgate for the remote tailgate mod makes me want someone who's helped do it before to be around to supervise me! ------------- 2003 Light Pewter Metallic Z71 WBH |

I'll email you the info onthe DRL mod but I don't know much about cutting the gate except what I've read. I think I'd want some help with that one too. ------------- Just Drive Man!!! |

I'm actually thinking about bringing mine down and getting rid of the running boards. I was eyeballing lifts but i dig the whole sport truck look and i just spent two thousand dollars on 20 inch rims that wouldn't look as good with a lift. ------------- Just Drive Man!!! |

JR, I could see you having a drop in SoCal, but not here, unless you have another ride for the winter? It's great to be TALL 
But you are right about the 20" rims. I'm running 16's, which are smaller than the 17's it came with.? ------------- 2003 "LIFTED" LPM WBH Z71 |

I know we've only got a couple of lifted AVs in the group here...
but after the National GTG in SD and seeing http://www.chevyavalanchefanclub.com/cafcna/index.php/topic,81731.0.html - Todd's (amd1900mp) lift and my wife's ok I'm starting to research lifts and someplace to do the installation.
I've heard good and bad stories about having stuff done at 4-wheel Parts Warehouse. Has anyone heard anything good about any other places that sell and/or install lifts? ------------- 2003 Light Pewter Metallic Z71 WBH |

Well since I can't seem to save money for a full blown suspension lift I'm now looking at http://www.chevyavalanchefanclub.com/cafcna/index.php?topic=93222.new;topicseen#new - keys & spacers . The poor man's way to gain a few inches. In height on my AV! Get your minds out of the gutter people!  ------------- 2003 Light Pewter Metallic Z71 WBH |
