I haven't done much recently, but I have put over 12,000 miles on it since I got it.


Since GSI hasn't offered a solution for the billet handles, I found some alignment washers for I beams in the McMaster catalog, looks like two of the washers per hole will be the correct angle for the inside of the door. I got those last week but then I got sick, so i hope to install my handles one day during this week. I am tired of looking at $550 on the kitchen counter for a few cents worth of washers that should have been done by now. Plus I hate the factory handles on the inside.
I'll post the part number for the washers once I install the handles.

I will also be re-wiring the gauges, modules, alarm, adding another fuse block for more circuits and another bulkhead for all the other things I plan on adding in the near future. The fuse blocks, terminals, seals and buss bars will cost me more than the whole AAW wiring harness cost me. If I ever do another one of these Suburbans, I am just going to wire the whole thing from scratch.
