Finally got it finished up, had to have my drivers door repainted though. :nonod: Somebody somewhere had the bright idea to just paint and clear around the molding, looked pretty bad once the molding was removed. Anyway, I'm happy with the outcome. Got some Moto Metal 962's going on Tuesday also, will update pics then. :thumbs:

Looks great! The new wheels will really set it off, especially when those BFGS "street tires" are gone. I would Colormatch all of the remaining chrome too.

Thanks man, next project is definitely going to be the front and rear bumpers. Worst idea of mine lately was getting rid of those Toyo's for these Bfg's, it kills the look I'm after. :banghead: I don't think Baja Atz's will be aggressive enough either, probably going to try out some Grapplers this time.

I hear you. I look at old pics of my truck with the Terra's and it looks terrible to me now. I love my Trails thus far, but I still think the sidewall on the Toyos is unbeatable.

Yep, nothing beats the look of a full on mud slinger. I was just looking at the Nitto site, and they don't offer much in the 18" range. Maybe Toyo's again, their 33x12.50x18 is a great size for the amount of lift I have.

Can't go wrong with Toyo MT IMO.

Looks good. I did that to my Silverado recently as well.

 

 

Looks great man, I noticed you left the stock tailgate handle alone. I did the same thing, thinking I need to get a painted one to match the rest.

You can find them on ebay from time to time, or buy some smooth handles from your dealer and have them painted. Mine origionally had textured black, so I had to find the smooth.

      NEW TRUCK

      I'd consider the 5.3 but not the 6.2. Last I heard, investigations were ongoing with the 6.2 failures and that there were continued failures even after engines were replaced.   I have a 3.0 diesel and regard it as the best option for a 1500. It's an excellent engine. Your preferences may differ.   Ford makes a good truck. Wouldn't steer you away from one.

      Yeah I don’t leave ANYTHING just sitting supposedly maintaining my battery on a vehicle or RV for multiday periods. I connect a charger as needed to provide a full charge, then disconnect it and either monitor the battery or follow a set schedule for periodic charging.

      Get the 5.3. I`m not a Ford guy.😉   I think these L84`s are less problematic than the L83`s. Certainly less than the L87.

      NEW TRUCK

      I have finally paid off my mortgage and can now purchase a new truck. I would greatly appreciate any opinions on the purchase of a new 2026 GMC Denali 5.3L or 6.2L with the Denali reserve package. I am not interested in the 3.0L.  Or should I go buy a Ford?   Thank, John

      One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...
