Upper cab mostly done, a few sections need more sanding and polishing. However I need it for the Volunteer Fire Department Field Days this weekend.

Partial roof bits getting polished, waxed, and put back on.

For sure they aren't the easiest to see out of, but they are damn cool haha.

Got the mirror on the passenger side. Also started sanding the drivers upper door stuff with 800-grit.

Wax on the passenger upper door bits. I am going to quickly do the rear of the cab knowing I will need to go back and do a better job, but I am going to focus on the drivers side upper door.

I need to do the 40K for my 05 XL. You will love the extra space.

Got the buff done and wax on the a-pillar.

Still plugging away, got the passenger a-pillar sanded, need to buff to see if its enough.

Starting to come up with plans for the Yukon, we have a few trips planned the end of this year into next. Florida after Christmas for 2-weeks, then Outerbanks for a week in 2025 on spring break for a baseball clinic with the kids. Were looking at over 4K-miles coming up. I've got another big...

Update here. Ran the cart up until August of 2023 with zero issues. I had it turned up fairly hot, to just a couple RPM below redline to attempt to keep up with the 670 Predator cart. It ran extremely respectable for what it was. Very happy with the performance. My batteries died in my run...

That's what I remember seeing rhen I was doing the rockers on it. About $50ea for Dormans.

Glad to see your still at it! I need to do a few of the tasks on my Yukon XL you talked about here, specifically rear A/C (mine is bypasses where only the front works), body mounts, blend doors, etc. Where did you end up getting the mounts? I have 1 roasted right now.

Welp, the B-pillar needed 2 more rounds of sanding, leading to a couple thin spots. Moving forward I need to sacrifice leaving some of the scratches to avoid this further. 2 rounds of rubbing compoud and then 2 rounds of polishing compound. Next up will be the upper window trim and then...

They are definitely hand painted, this truck has the original lacquer paint job too. That's why I am trying to put the effort into it, at this point a whole paint job would be easier!

I'm afraid, I don't want to lose any of them. Figured I'd cross that bridge when I get there.

More for the day. This one shows my burn through on the drivers side from a dent I didnt notice. Got the roof completely waxed. Also removed the mirrors carfully and placed aside for better access to the drip rail and eventually doors. Working on the passenger a-pillar, drip trim, passenger...

Some pictures of my worst burn-throughs. I got overzealous on the front passenger rooftop corner, as well as finding a dent near the far left (DS) cab light! The corner was burnt through during the 3M rubbing compound phase and the dent was during sanding. Hard to get good pics in the back bay...

I agree they look very similar to other units, these do actually have International stamped in them. However, I bet a lot are identical.

From what the Binder Forums state, some Kenworths used "similar" marker lights and I may be able to find some that arent exactly signal-stat brand. There is a NOS set on eBay right now, for a slim price of $1K.
