I have seen the Tough Country stuff at SEMA. Metal looked kind of thin

From looking at it, it looks like it would be pretty strong cause the main portion of the bumper is a 4" pipe. The diamond plate I'm sure is only but so thick. The Apache series is suppose to be one of the lightest bumpers in heavy duty bumpers. Still a hell of a lot stronger than the stock bumper i would think

The one my friend made for my truck is heavy as hell and I wouldn't have it any other way. It's saved my front end a couple times

I smacked a deer this morning. Split it in half with stomach contents and intestines in the middle of the road. As for my truck? Just a broken lower valence and fog light. Lifted truck saved me from calling insurance

Sucks but it's not the worst thing that could have happened. I could have nailed it dead on, airbags deploy, and insurance would total the truck out do to miles. That would probably make me cry lol

I didn't. It's only like $300 in damage and that's on the steep side. But supposedly I can claim it if it's under a certain amount and I don't pay a deductible and I get reimbursed for it. Not sure if it affects my rate though. It shouldn't considering it's nothing I could have avoided. I may also claim my other tow mirrors when that owl flew across the road and I smacked it lol

When I had my wreck in 08 that totaled a trailblazer my liability insurance went up to 1300 every 6 months. Its finally back to 60 or so a month now so as far as I'm concerned my insurance will hear nothing if I can avoid it

Drove to muffler shop. Realized I didn't have my wallet.

Drove home.

Drove to muffler shop. Got the GM Performance Parts/ Borla Sport installed, along with the GMPP exhaust tip.

Tested it on the way home. :D

Not sure if my aim is off or its the fact that these are cheap headlights I bought in a pinch because mine went out but I can't see anything!

If it were me i would probably go with the top ones, i like projectors and stuff but the after-market ones just generally look very cheap, even when they aren't.

I drove the hell out of my Silverado today! :D

 

From Phoenix to Prescott to the Grand Canyon, then down through Flagstaff to get back home.

 

Thank God that I didn't have a single issue! Maybe averaged 70 mph but didn't keep track of mpg's.

I like the first ones. Whichever you get, make sure they get aimed right. I thought about HIDs for my aux lights but I want them instantly.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
