Welcome TheBiz! We try to have GTG's about once a month in Indiana, there is so much going on in the area now! Hope you get a chance to come out and meet some of the members and drool over their mods!

Thanks for the welcome and was really hoping to make it to Muncie to day but not able to swing it.

Just finished the Amber DRL's mod and hoping to get down to Rat Shack to get necessary diodes and equipment to do the NRL/DRL mod this week.

Does anyone know where to buy the clips for the mag lite mod locally?

They had them in a "contractors series" of maglights and I told the department manager I didn't want that I wanted this blue one but I wanted the clips so he tore open the package and took out the clips and screws and handed them to me. I asked him how I should tell the clerk to ring them up and he said to just put them in my pocket so I did!

From Dunkirk, IN I am currently in Iraq until Dec. of 2008. I just recently purchased an AV, Wife went and picked it up while I was here and when i came home for my 2 week leave I invested about $3,200.00 toward the stereo, exhaust, and exterior. The AV has cladding but i would like to remove the cladding or sand it down to where its smooth and completely black everything out on it. Anyone know an easier way to mess with the cladding or if I should just have it sanded smooth and paint it? thanks guys.

Congrats on your new ride. To answer your question regarding the cladding,well is simple. Have it sanded down and painted to match by a pro.

oHIobellboy · « **Reply #34 on:** August 14, 2008, 05:43:47 PM »

I think we need to find a pix of either Dune's or grnxman's avy's to show a great example of a painted cladded avy.

bluedevil · « **Reply #35 on:** August 14, 2008, 06:16:06 PM »

oHIobellboy · « **Reply #39 on:** August 15, 2008, 05:05:49 AM »

I'd really be scared to find out how much that would cost. That's a lot of labor hours in that project.

I've heard from $2500 and up for the cladding. Not sure about the cladding and the whole truck...pricey. But WOW what a great looking Av that would be when you're done

I love how the painted cladding looks - like Jeff's...very classy looking...

Dune's & Grnxnam's? Sexxxxyyyyyyy...

I dont know what color you going for but i think your Dark Blue Metallic should look excellent with the cladding painted.

Stefan47336 if you are wanting to paint your cladding because it is faded and looks bad there is a product that a lot of members are loving called Refinish Restorer. It is a easy application and makes the cladding look new, it lasts a long time!

Does anyone in here own I believe its an 02' Red in color and work at Lowes on Shadeland Ave. in Indy? I see a Red Av sitting at the lowes across from my appt and its modded, its got a light bar on top and some other mods. If not I am going to talk to the guy about maybe coming to the next GTG, its a nice looking AV so I figured he was already a member. Thanks guys, also does anyone know if the Cadillac EXT from end clip will match up to an 02 AV? I was looking at one today parked right next to mine and there isnt alot of difference, I love the grille and the head lights of the EXT. Thanks.

oHIobellboy · « **Reply #63 on:** February 17, 2009, 05:21:48 AM »

I don't think the clip will match up to a cladded Avy. I believe I read somewhere that it fits the WBH (nekkid).

Hi Gang,
I am new to the Indiana group having introduced myself in the general newcomer section, so I wanted to introduce myself first. I am Kevin and my wife Tatyana and we live in Fishers, Indiana.
We just bought our first Avalanche last March. It is a 2002 Z71 out of Michigan with 152k on the clock. Previous Silverado and Suburban owners, love the comfort of the Crew cab and the versitility of the bed and mid-gate. Dont know how long we will keep this one, want to sell or trade up to a newer year. Otherwise, I will probably be looking at replacing the engine.
Hope to meet some of you at any get togethers coming up.
Thanks,
