i'm sure it did but you are not going to get the same results you would from a proper sound deadener. but you do you booboo

it's nowhere near the same... similar concept, different materials and densities. sure, if you even put duct tape on the panels, its going to dampen vibration to a certain extent, but that's not what it's made for. plus, there's plenty of companies making deadener out there to find a good deal.
Word. I'm gonna pick some up one of these days and do the doors for sure.


Got the amp mounted this morning. Ended up taking the whole seat out to find a place for it. Damn thing is so big it was hitting something everywhere I tried to put it before.

Those older amps with the newer seats are a pain in the ass. I'll move mine up and out a bit when I get to that.

Yea it didn't want to fit anywhere lol. I have a couple of other amps and I was tempted to use a different one so that it would fit in there better and be accessible but I really wanted to run the kicker.

So I was walking out to my truck yesterday to go to work and I noticed that the inner sidewall of the driver's side tire looked odd. After further inspection, I noticed 2 big knots in the sidewall. These tires are old(er) and our roads suck so I'm really not surprised. I threw the 20s back on today and it'll probably stay like this for a little bit. I'm gonna plan on replacing the 3 old tires when I do buy some.

damn that sucks.

I'm sure you've answered this a bunch of times, but what're you planning with the old white truck?

No clue really at this time. I'd like to pick up a cheap rcsb nbs and swap most of my stuff over and scrap the rest, just because it needs a lot of little stuff. I've thought about pulling what I want to keep and parting out the rest but I don't really have the time to mess with it right now lol.

Picked these up yesterday cheeaappp. Oem 20s with decent 275/55s. Gonna clean them up and post them for trade for other oem 20s. Once I get something I want, those will become my spares and my Tahoes will be sold.

I'm sure most of you saw these on social media already but I cleaned these 20s up over the last 2 days. They were in pretty rough shape but I'd say they came back pretty well for older chrome wheels. Used 2 micro fibers and a bottle of green magic plus that I picked up at Goodguys. Now just to find a trade lol

It works great! I used it on my 24s too and it took a lot of the stains off of them. Thanks man!

Did a chop last night to see how they would look on the truck.

So, i sold those chrome 20s for $450. Picked up a set of silverado ss 22s today for cheeeaapppp. Needed 1 center cap and they only have 1 good tire but I'm gonna list these to trade or possibly just flip them. Already ordered a center cap.

Also trying to work a deal on some oem 20s to replace my tahoes which my dad wants for his suburban.

If the sss 22s were silver or chrome I would keep them but they're satin black. I may still powdercoat them and keep them if the deal falls through on the other 20s.

Glad you're not keeping those lol. Not a fan. But you should be able to flip fairly easily
I've always liked sss wheels. I definitely wouldn't rock them black but silver or chrome and I would for sure lol
