Injured 2017 Silverado Z71 Build Project

Got to transfer all of the front components from the damaged original door into the new door shell, all the locks, sliders, window and wiring harness etc. Everything closes like new and nothing is misaligned. Time to do the rear door.

that swapping of parts to the new door looked like it was almost more time than any other step of your project. It's incredible all the small parts you have to move and how difficult it is to get your hands into the door.

its the most hated part of any car i do, its all just so tight and every car or truck has a different way of removing motors and glass etc.. gotta do rear door now!! ewwww
 
Got a chance to finally finish both front and rear door internal guts swap, what a pain!! But both doors are finally finished and installed and fit perfectly. Im so glad i didnt have to paint anything yet, fender or doors. The bed and the rocker panel will be painted, but thats something i cant go around. Getting so close! cant wait to finish and start doing upgrades!

Finally me and my boy got a chance to install the roof airbags into the truck, i have a CHP inspection coming up, so these little pillows have to be in and no air bag light should be on to show that its safe to drive to mister officer

I had a dirty problem with the truck about a month ago, i thought i had resolved the issue that i thought would last a big longer than it did, but sadly the bandaid lasted less than expected. So i had to tackle it once again and fix it right so it doesnt come back again, it sucks, but it is what it is :(

so did it pass the CHP inspection?
if you dont mind my saying, you have a young child to consider, use a jack stand when you lift that truck.

i might have found a loophole and passed without CHP... still waiting for title in the mail, knock on wood!! lol yes the boy was sleeping, didnt expect him to come out till i was done, i usually run jacks.
 
My truck didnt come with a factory garage door opener, I looked around and found a used one for $60, it was a different cover, but i figured id give it a shot to see if it will work, came with a wiring harness and everything else. well it was worth the $60, it was a plug and play, now just gotta program it to the garage receiver itself.

I'm surprised the Homelink panel worked without a change to the BCM. Did you get it to program to your garage door opener?
What are Roche panels?
 
Sure might be a little silly looking but so much fun driving it, the looks I get is priceless lol. Got the door jamb resprayed and then he side of the bed repainted as well. Sadly the rains are here now and I won't get to enjoy it as long as I wanted and have to install doors on STAT!

what you mean Roche? yes it worked, had to program really quick, i made a video, just gotta edit and post, it was fairly simple, but a little different from what i found on youtube tho, might be informative
 
The word "Roche" was on your youtube post
"The weather is awesome!!! Was taking truck to get Roche panel with jamb painted and side of the bed, figured might as well have fun and remove all 4 doors!!! To be legal it must have mirrors, so I made couple brackets for the small mirrors I have laying around ... I can see why jeep guys enjoy this lol"

great idea of using the adjustable office chair as a support for the door installation. Really like those wheels!

thanks man, my fav wheels, and i have looked through tons of them, cant wait to install them!!, doing 6" lift on the truck
 
My truck has a 2.5" leveling kit, picked up these wheels and tires for a good price and wanted to install on one side to see how it looks, obviously a lift is needed, but i was curious how tight they would be with a 2.5" lift. Will be installing a 6.5" Lift on the truck.
