2004 Hummer H1 - Restoration and bringing it back to life
It's tough to show in the photos really well since it's dark and doesn't capture well on a picture. I'll try and get better photos once I get the middle and rear sections of the headliner installed.
Got the carplay headunit installed. For $105 shipped from amazon it works surprisingly well. Takes just a couple seconds to boot up when you start the truck, and about 5-7 seconds to auto-connect to my cellphone and start Carplay. Very happy with the end results.
Here is the kit that you need to purchase that includes the wiring adapter and the antenna connector. It fits most GM, GMC, and Chevrolet vehicles including the Hummer: https://amzn.to/3gM9jVR

This H1 has been different for sure, a lot of opportunities to learn.
I upgraded the interior dome lights and the reading / map lights to LED. I went through 5 sets of LED bulbs before I finally found the set that I liked. I was wanting the brightest light without being too harsh on my eyes. The ones I finally got installed are fantastic. The difference at night is absolutely amazing!
Here's the full video of the install step by step, and comparison between the old factory lights versus the new upgraded LED lighting. All the links for the bulbs I bought and used are in the video description.

Upgraded from the old mirror to a new frameless mirror with Homelink garage door opener buttons!!! Very happy with the upgrade. Now I no longer have to carry my garage door opener remote, and I don't have to stare into a broken auto-dimming mirror anymore!

Got the rest of the 394mil sound deadener installed on the roof. Got the rear section of the new headliner installed. And all the trim back.
What do you think of the color scheme with the black headliner with the ivory/white colored trim pieces and the two tone black/brown seats?

I was hesitant ordering from an eBay seller. But these were such a good price I had to get a set of 4 ordered. Brand new AMGeneral 12k shocks. They came in today and they're brand new in OEM AMGeneral packaging and all with the correct part numbers and everything. If you want new shocks, $39 bucks each with free shipping is pretty hard to beat!!
