What did you do with your truck/shop today

[RyanbabZ71]

Went through a rain storm last night parked. Only evidence dirty windows and some spots on the hood. The sealant/wax is definitely helping to keep clean

^Tell me about it. I had delayed flights due to storms across the Midwest and east coast last night.

Damn Ryan I need to detail my truck like you do.

 

Got him washed yesterday, had a little off-road adventure that was Z71 worthy. 4HI and the Ranchos did quite nicely. Wash turned out well, but I got water trails from the door handles. Oh well, will likely wash again in a couple weeks, my ideal wash schedule is every other week or every third week, weather permitting.

 

A month back, while looking for a rattle, I scuffed up my right rear door panel a tad, and busted the lower front bolt hole on the front panel. Though I glued the bolt hole, I couldn't live with that or the scratches, so I got new door panels. They look great and it even sounds a tad quieter in the cab!

 

Replaced my box protector for like the 7th time. My Borla exhaust was misaligned just so that the tips contacted the protector and started to melt it. Gave the tips a nice shove during my wash, and that seemed to be the ticket. Alignment is good, and clearance is MUCH better.

Lovin it!

What did I do with my truck today (well, yesterday)?

 

I rolled past 38K and went down to buy my daughter a Chevy Cruze Eco. As soon as I got home with it, she was telling me what mods, that I have done to my Silverado, that she wants done to it.

 

1) All forward-facing white lights on with HI-beams

2) LEDs all the way around (inside/outside) (I haven't finished this one yet with my truck)

3) Phone holder (current/primary project for me)

 

I may throw in (when I do mine):

1) Lights under the hood

2) LED strip lights underneath (when I throw on my nerf bar lights)

3) Better trunk lighting

4) Footwell lighting(?)

Ryan what do you ran your LT tires at for psi? Been messing with my new tires trying to find the right pressure

[Jsdirt]

NEfisher, I'd start at 55 psi (Load Range E), and see how they wear. If you're empty, that's more than enough.

 

 

 

Was going to haul an old metal cement mixer to my parent's tomorrow ... but then I realized my sticker expired in July. That was easy to get out of!

 

I've donated enough of my money to the state this year - not even taking the chance.

I did the same for my old 1996.

 

there is still something in that u41 black on black..

got a compliment today.

 

my locale kills trucks. seeing beyond 8 years in good condition is not all that common.

 

I inspires me to do more. I see lower back edges of door shells are not perfect.. etc etc.

it might be the LED on the black. that is always very vivid.

I love the newer ones as well.. seeing the DRL LED.

 

treat 'em good, you get good back.

odometer is now at 363040.

Ok that's where I have mine at now. Started at 55 but that was too high the handling of the truck felt odd.
