Thank God simon and tkat showed up! It was mighty lonely on mineralgreen island with all those white, red, silver and black trucks cruising around.

 

It's nice not to see another truck your same color around every corner.

yea i'm not one to follow the herd either. once way back when, I actually came out of the store and got in this truck that was nearly identical to mine. same trim same paint same wheels,even had the same pin stripe. couldn't figure out why the ign. key wouldn't turn. dah

 

get a little charge out of the people that see the truck out of the sun. get the ho hum nice truck bla bla. then they get a look at the sparkle in the sun light. then it's wow really nice color I thought it was black.

 

besides being a nice looking ride it 's really comfortable to drive.

 

 

my other play toy.. 2k t/a r/a 6.0ltr, 447 rwhp 436 rwtq. just finshed the moser built ford 9in axle. nice and sleek.

trucks looking sharp big blue.. what vent shades did you go with? I looked at the seamless avs. but they were to tight against the glass. went with the lund elite vent shades instead. im going to add a clear bug guard and vents painted body color. finish master wanted $125 for a pint of ppg paint with additives for the plastic. wow! going to call around to find a dealer with a mix master (my dealer doesn't have that system). should cut that in half and no mess in my shop.

 

just had my2 week old truck in the shop for a tire vibration at highway speeds. take a good look at the wheel weights on your rims. looks like a monkey pounded them on with a sledge hammer. big dents in the rim just under the edge of the weights closest to the center hub. mite have to lift the weight off the rim abit to see it. new wheels are on order.

AVS In-Channel Dark. They installed easily and fit really good. I can't tell any difference between them and the over-priced german ones I had on the blue truck. And the AVS were half the cost. Buy American and save some bucks!

 

GreenTruck rides smoove on the hiway and I'll check those weights that Pedro put on!

blue, your trucks looking nice. i was thinking about a denali lower grill with chrome hooks.

 

here's my truck on it's maiden voyage turkey hunting, getting it's first muddy dirt road . Duh! it will never be clean again.

another shot of the paint. really hard to capture the color of the sparkle. looks good from the camera still shot, but the photo host must have some processing. took out some of the color from the sparkle.

that's funny..... my friend had said the samething. a few years ago my dad bought a new boat. I had happen to come across a hitch cover that was a little outboard motor. I think it was a merc. I bought it for him as a gift. I'll ask him if he still has it being he never used it. be kinda cool to have.

Saw my first 2013 GMC Sierra in Hunter Green Metalic this weekend. WOW!!!

Needless to say, even the best pictures do not do this color justice......you must see this color in person to truly appreciate it.

 

We were parked side by side in Sonics and I had to get out to admire the truck. His truck had a dark gold pinstrip down the side, that really pulled the green out of the paint. He stated that this was one of two in the state of Alabama and that he had to pay an additional $3K for the option. IMO it was well worth it.

 

GM needs to consider this as a regular option. I'd drop that kind of money for a custom paint job that I would absolutely love seeing every time I got into the truck.

      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.
