In Hot Pursuit

[grubworm]

That lowest point? It’s the bumper of thecopcar beyond, with no air dam.

I was thinking the same thing.

Can you take off the whole plastic airdam, and it still looks ok?

Can you take off the whole plastic airdam, and it still looks ok?

I don’t think it would. There’s more stuff that is below the bumper lip itself on this generation than the last.

I may still trim more off, however this is a good start.

Santa brought some amber strobes for Thethirdtwin. I’ll run a cable for them above the headliner when I install the roof rack.

 

[Sparksalot]

Hmmm. This could be a PITA. I topped off the tires to get that one more PSI to turn off the alarms on both twins.

The new wheels on Thethirdtwin present a challenge for the hose on my Viair 88P. Getting my air down tool in there, fuggetaboutit.

The door speakers in thecopcar had given up the ghost. Listening to Def Leppard by A pillar tweeters alone sucketh mightily.

Santa brought new speakers for Chanukah.

Since it’s holiday season, time for family photos.

The overland hound was unimpressed.

 

[Sparksalot]

More unimpressed hound.

More love for thecopcar today. I finally decided to mechanically replace the steering position sensor. A new one has been plugged in and hanging under the dash for two years. After a couple of miles at highway speed the bcm says hold on now, and flashes the service stabilitrack message.

The culprit.

Nope, not gonna spin. Wouldn’t be prudent.

here ya’are, getcherdash parts.

the heater duct was in the way.

 

[Sparksalot]

The Secure Idle was kinda in the way. So were a couple of ground lugs for it.

Dont mind me, just hanging around.

Now both of the twins have fire extinguishers. I chose an Element for Thethirdtwin due to space. It doesn’t have a cargo barrier to use, like thecopcar.

Installed the front amber strobes and ran the wiring. Still determining the controller location.



The bar in the windshield is also amber. I hid the cable for it today.

 

[Sparksalot]

I have no immediate plans for these, but ditch light brackets are hard to come by for tahoes. I searched for a year to get ‘em for thecopcar.

These are for the thethirdtwin.

And they don’t fit. Chit.

 

[Sparksalot]

Thethirdtwin got another ProClipUSA base. This time for the light controller.

 

[Sparksalot]

Took thethirdtwin to an off-road park recently.




Also it’s first trail rash.

Congrats! The first strike is always the hardest to take :)

 

[Sparksalot]

I connected the light controller and front strobes.
