Loving my truck now more than ever!! I wanna thank Matt_ for giving me great information & advice.

This site has steered my truck into mods I'd never thought about doing. Thanks everyone!! :)

 

Got my tires installed Thursday & my truck was too dirty the past couple of days, so I washed it last night. Got too late to take pics & of course when I wake-up this morning it was raining. So I was like hell with it, gonna take the pics in the rain haha.

 

The tires ride very smooth & have great traction in the rain from Thursday. I was quite impressed with the aggressive tire pattern & how smooth it rides. First set of Cooper's I've ever had. The tires did rub when I had my splash guards on, but since I took them off, I have ZERO rubbing!!! But its very close. Also, installed my HID's in 6K on Tuesday. No one has these wheels around here so thats why I went with them!

 

Sorry for the pics aren't too big, couldn't find my actual camera.

Looks sharp dude! Those wheels and tires really set the truck off. That's about how close my tires are to rubbing.

Damn dude...that looks fantastic. I plan on getting the same wheels and tire size in November. I am going with the Nitto Trail Grappler MT's though. The Coopers look really nice on those Spy's. Do me a favor and post a before shot...always nice to compare. If you can find a similar angle, that would be great.

actually ... jordan i need you to do me a favor.

 

if you could, use a floor jack(s) to raise your truck so the fenders are about 42.5" and snap some picks. you might not be able to get the front that high without the tires coming off the ground. if thats the case, just let me know how high it measures.

 

thatll help me determine if im going to level my front or not next year when i get 305/50s :)

You could do me a favor too, download google picassa and use the export function and make them about 1280 pixels in size, that way we can see them :) Looks good man.> Congrats.

I don't think I can raise it that much off the ground, but once I get a chance I'll measure it. My driveway isn't really level at all.

thanks!

Still thinking about doing a BL. I gotta clean my frame up & repaint that. I hate looking at all that rust! Any tips on how to do that? Thinking about making my brake calipers Red. & Removing my pinstripe.

You sure it's rust? When I first saw my truck on the lot, it had a layer of mud on the frame that looked like rust, I thought it was rusted like crazy, it was a reddish brown color. It had 18k miles on it. If that's what it is, hold a high pressure HOT water on it at a good car wash and it will come off. It takes awhile, you have to hold it on the same spot several seconds. Looked like it was from driving on a gravel road a lot at high speed with that red clay. Even after I went over it, you could still see spots (about like yours looks now) and have to go back over it several times before it looks black again.

 

But at least on the back wheels, buying a set of wheel well covers for $90 from the dealer would not only cover the frame, but the gap from a body lift. At least for a 1.5". With a 3" BL you might have to get a little more creative.

I think your right about that, it does have that muddy rusty looking color. I'll go outside later to make sure. What type of paint do I need to make that black looking again? & do I need to sand the whole frame first or what?

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
