I placed an order for a replacement part back in February/March or so. Never heard a thing from them and never received the part. Tried calling multiple times over the last 6-7 months and finally gave up. Fortunately I used PayPal and got my money back for the part. But my cover is non functional so it has been sitting In my garage until I can make my own repair part to fix it. I liked the G4 despite having all kinds of problems with it since the day I bought it. (Minor stuff really other than the failed pivot latch)

Thanks for the info. I just recently got my high country rims. So, much appreciated ?

I want one ;-)

I took mine out of my 15 for the first time again just the other day. (Forgot it was so easily removable.). I was cleaning it out. I found all kinds of stuff inside the storage compartment underneath that had gone missing. Stuff slides through the small gap and underneath pretty easily.

I just picked it up today (right before work). So, I haven't had a chance to see if the seat shifting is really fixed. The other issues I listed of course "COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM AT THIS TIME". These included driver side window wind noise, shift issues, really really noisy rattling by the rear seat when in the stored/stowed position and a couple other issues. Such as, the vibration issue I did not have previously and that started just a few thousand miles ago. They stated "AFTER BALANCING AND ROTATING THE TIRE VEHICLE DOES NOT VIBRATE, PERFORM BALANCE AND ROTATE". Driver rear brake squeal at 8K (???). So, we will check these on the way home tomorrow. The seat shifting from what I was told by the service adviser. "They replaced the mounting brackets for both the front driver and passenger seats (I only complained about the driver)." So, they determined it was both seats. The documentation only states "PERFORM REPAIRS ON LINE #9" (not entirely sure what that is). However, on a side note they "REPLACE(d) BOTH DRIVERS FRONT SEAT LANE DEPARTURE ACTUATORS AND AT THE SAME TIME ADDED 2 SEAT FRAME RETAINERS 1 ON EACH FRONT SEAT...". So, not sure what line# 9 is. Anyone know? Maybe it is in one of the TSB's or something I don't have a copy of but I am sure have floated around the forum previously.

My truck has been at the dealer for several days now. The seat shifting/movement is one of the things they are fixing/fixed. Apparently it was both driver and passenger seat so they fixed both. When I talked to them on the phone they said they replaced the seat brackets. So, I don't know if it is a different repair or there was something else going on that led to that or if the adviser just didn't have all the specifics yet. It is there for another day or two (I gave them a list of issues). When I brought it in though they were not surprised at all that I was saying I was having the seat shift issue. They knew exactly what I was talking about.

That is interesting, I haven't had them ask me that yet on my new one or any of my old ones. I just dropped it off yesterday morning for one of my free ones and a whole list of warranty things to get looked at fixed. I will ask them when I pick it up though (no eta yet on when hehe).

Heh, I suspect this is a common issue. My wife doesn't like the idea either. (Probably because I would also want a need different bed cover than my elite G4 (which I love by the way).

Pretty sweet! Looks like you had fun and beautiful truck. I will have to head up there when I get some free time and check it out. Haven't been in a couple years now.

Looks good, nice and bright.

Not sure what you mean by long enough for the wire harness. For what I did, the wires didn't need to be any longer as I made my wires/connectors the length I needed. The GM kit wires run from underneath the truck at the junction box then up behind the tail lights and from there under the stake pocket and under the bed rails to just past I want to say midway between the tail light and the wheel well. There are a couple holes where the lights mount under the rail there. The wires had enough slack as one of the GM lights is mounted backwards (they are the same light on both sides) so the wire has to be able to go past it and into the connector on the light. So, back when I did this I purchased a second set of lights (I wanted them all to match) the male and female connectors (and all pieces) and wire, etc. Then, made a "Y" harness to split the wires so I could power two sets of the GM lights instead of just one as it is designed for. Adding enough wire to get midway between the wheel well and the front bed bulkhead (all still hidden under the rail). There were no holes for a 2nd set of lights to mount though. So I just used double stick automotive tape to put them in place and cut the notches in my bed liner needed for them to shine through. This isn't too far off from what bone450 mentioned above and was kind enough to provide all the part numbers for. I believe he used different lights though than the GM ones. I only went with GM as I already had 2 of them. His post is below:

I will share some pics the one I did and of the parts and what I made. Give me a couple days though. I put mine together right before I moved and still trying to find many of the items I want/need. (such as the camera I used). Not to mention all while still working full time, Etc...

This is the same thing I did for my second set. I made a "Y" connector from the first ones to the second ones using those same connectors. I believe I also used Mouser. All the wires end up hidden under the bad rails so it is nice and relatively clean.

From what I have read previously, tire width is one of the major concerns as you state. The size tire that was mentioned earlier is pretty close to the OEM width. So, I am hoping there won't be any problems in that regard when I do go to try them out. My only other concern is the angles for control arms that may be affected... and how far I could go if I were to do the adjustable on front and rear in conjunction and any possible issues.
