  1. I could have sworn the Second gen Colorado extended cab truck could have been ordered without rear jump seats, giving it a more flat load floor. Might have only been an option on the W/T, but I remember seeing it. It was a $150 credit I think when ordering. Anyone have one of these trucks? I am hoping the third gen offers it again, as it would make that space a lot more useful behind the front seats.
  2. Your first oil change and tire rotation is free. I like the dealer over the lube shops because of the service I get. I get someone who knows my vehicle, will use the correct oil, and filter. I find the cost beyond the free first service is not much more than the lube shops. Lube shops charge 55-60 for synthetic oil change, and a oil change with tire rotation at my dealership is 60 bucks.
  3. So I just purchased a 2020 2.7. It replaces a 19 LD Custom with a 5.3. I have owned the new LS based LV3 4.3 as well. Power wise, it feels like the 5.3, and it has better fuel mileage than the 4.3. Instead of looking to increase power, I have used what the truck gives me to make the most of the power there. If you want to go faster, to put more power to the ground. Start by putting it in AWD if equipped, shut the traction control off, and put it in Tow/haul mode, or sport mode if equipped. I ran a 15.6 sec 1/4 in a 4.3 powered 2014 silverado 2wd, and a 14.6 in a 5.3 awd configuration. I read the 2.7 can move the new silverado to a 15.1 sec 1/4. It is not Camaro performance, but it is still good.
  4. See if someone local has a truck with painted bumpers that would be willing to trade. I did that. I wanted chrome, and someone wanted my black bumpers, and grill.
  5. I have a 19 silverado Legacy Double cab Custom. So I want to order a set of sensors for another set of tires, and wheels. I could not find an SPID label, so I used the QR on my phone to pull up the list off the label in the doorjam. It only seems to be a partial, and does not give me the TPMS RPO. Anyone out there know what it is? Thanks.
  6. Not much happening here. Just slightly taller tires 265/70/18s, and a 2" leveling kit. The tires are 1" taller than the stock 265/65/18s. It feels more beefy now. I love it.
  7. I was in the navy for 6 years, so yes I am familiar with finger printing. But We do not finger print for any of those things here. And what other rights do you get finger printed to exercise? Maybe it would be ok for the government to fingerprint you to come on forums, or to have a facebook account. Maybe you should have permit to go to sunday services at your church, or qualify to get a paper from the state that says if a cop searches you, they must have a warrant? Where does it end? Rights are rights. We have them, and states thing they should be able to take them away, but sell them back to us as they choose.
  8. That would piss me off. Why do you need my prints? You want my DNA to invoke my first Amendment rights? I would have contacted the State police. That is very illegal.
  9. Well, I can only tell you what happened to me. I had to put three names of people I know, who do not have felonies, and all three were sent a letter, all three mailed it back. The lieutenant contacted me. Asked my version of one thing on my record, and a few days later my CCW was in the mail. Everyone I know that has a CCW has done it that way. 2013 was the last time I did mine, maybe things have gotten more relaxed since, but that is my story, and I am sticking to it. I am on the seacoast, so more liberals here. Perhaps your area is more lenient.
  10. Well, it is not exaggerated. You put three names on the paper, and all three get a questionnaire from the police dept. All three need to send the questionnaire back. If one is not sent back, or they answer questions wrong, it could at the very least delay the permit. And yes, I was contacted by the lieutenant over something that had happened many years prior to get my side of the story since he only could see the court's version. But you are correct in that it is quite easy to get a CCW in NH, and cheap too. Wierd how the streets are not covered in blood like liberals would have you think.
  11. Thomas Jefferson later wrote this. It was found in the Jefferson Papers. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government" So when I look at this, and the fact that every major city that has gun control has the most crime. I come to the conclusion that Government is slowly chipping away at the 2nd Amendment so they can one day rule the people, instead of the people ruling the government. I can honestly say our founding fathers would be shooting by now. Anyone who seeks to establish gun control in the United States is an enemy of the State. They do not represent the people, nor do they obey their oath to protect, and uphold the constitution. Rights are not up for interpretation. What other right do you know that is controlled by the government, and they let you have table scraps of it so they can say they are not infringing on your right? The facts do not lie. Gun control of any type does not work. It makes the ignorant voter feel better, while chipping away at the very right that protects all other rights.
  12. Every time I buy a gun, I go through a simple background check. No big deal really. Except for the whole "Shall not be infringed " thing. And background checks are infringement. A CCW permit is a little more involved in NH. here you go to the police dept, fill out an application and give them ten dollars. They send letters to three references you provide on the application, and wait to hear back from them in the same manner, then they dig into your past with a fine tooth comb. Then if they have a question, they call you. In my case, a 20 year old issue that was minor at best. I had forgotten about it. I had to explain my side. Then the officer thanked me, hung up, and a week later I had my CCW in the mail. All this time I was thinking this. Shall not be infringed, and who the hell thinks this keeps the streets safer needs to pull their bottom lip over their head, and swallow. The day Obama spoke about gun control just after Sandy Hook, I marched right down to the gun store, and bought my pistol. My second gun I have ever owned. A few months later, I got my second gun, a rifle. Liberals would call it an Assault rifle. And then I joined the NRA, bought a shot gun, and more ammo. While I have never really been into guns, I fully understand the importance of the second amendment, and why if we loose it, we can kiss our other rights goodby. Most liberals look at the first verse "A well regulated Militia", while most conservatives look at the third," the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." I look at the middle portion, as it is why it is there. So we can keep America free from all enemies, both foreign, and domestic "being necessary to the security of a free State" It is about all three. Protection of self, country, and freedom. No other right is constantly attacked as the 2nd Amendment.
  13. Yes. Fairly comfy. It handles surprisingly well. I can say I spent over a year researching UTVs to get one that both functioned well on the trail, and around the home as a yard vehicle for under $10,000. The Ranger just stayed at the top of my list. I had an open cup of coffee in the cup holder. I drove over a few bumps that in anything else would have had me wearing it, but as far as I could see when I stopped, not drop was spilled.Over all, I could not be happier with the machine. It just does what I expected it to do, and does it easily. Here it is at work cleaning the mess left in the sheds the previous owner left for us. And here it is on the same trailer before I extended the gate back a foot.
  14. The trailer is a 5x8. I lengthened the back by the gate to accommodate the extra length of the Rangers Bed. The Ranger is a 570 Midsize with a 3500 lb winch. Yes we do, and it serves double duty around the house as well.
