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.

      Differential covers

      By RJL1 · Posted

      I just brought home a 2020 GMC 1500 Denali.  She has 53K miles on her and I want to change out the fluids over the next few weeks.  I see the diff covers don't have drain plugs.  Any suggestions where I can pick up front and rear diff covers with drain plugs?   Thanks,   Bob

      Ac not keeping up

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      Well, the dealership got the compressor and installed it. Air at the vents seems nice and cold as it should be. The service manager said the repair has a two year warranty and unlimited mileage. Hopefully I don't have to use it. The dealership i went to was one where I bought my 2014 half ton silverado. In 10 years and 168k miles on the truck anything I needed done and two small recalls they were always very good to me. Not a huge dealer either. I think they treat people well because they want you to come back. I have dealt with a different dealer that was too big to care about an individual. Just my two cents.

      Multigate Connector Difficult to Connect Fully

      By Another JR · Posted

      Hi All, I operate my 2021 3500 SLT most of the time with the tailgate off and in a crate because I have a slide-in camper. However, at least once a year, I take the camper off and put the tailgate back on. Recently I installed the tailgate, but had a hard time getting the connector bail to swing to the fully latched position. The connector seems to fully seat, and everything works, but the bail doesn’t swing to fully latched position.  It swings almost there but stops and I am afraid to push it any harder.    Does anyone have any advice on cleaning or lubrication or anything else I should be doing?  i know how to properly operate the connector. During the time the tailgate and connector are off, i have a double plastic bag over the truck connector secured with rubber bands to keep it clean, but it still had some dust in it this time when I blew it out with compressed air. I didn’t want to spray it with anything other than air without doing some research. Thanks.

      There are a lot of spammer's that do that, quote something and add some commentary to make it seem legit, but modify the quoted text a bunch making sure when posted it's long enough to be "click to expand", and either immediately insert a spam link, or come back after some time and edit it to add the spam link.

      Hello @jaszr2 Do you have a link for the item? I put a replacement bumper on my truck and consequently had to relocate the shutters. I studied on them a while, and figured if you left a couple key blades, you could get most of the airflow with probably no throwing codes.
