Not sure what I am doing with the wheels just yet...

Have the front bumper and chome headlight pieces getting vinyl wrapped on the 15th of this month. Would LOVE to find someone by me (Nazareth PA) to remove the Amber lenses from the headlights!!! I bought a cheap headlight set off Ebay last week. Although they LOOKED amazing...they were crap! Kinda really bummed about it... they were all clear and tinted... I was all ready to go to the Truck nationals next month and enter my truck. Have always wanted to enter a truck show since I got my first truck in 2001!

 

How much was it to wrap the rear bumper, and then the front and headlights?

$200 to wrap the back bumper.. but he had a HELL of a time getting it off. (his first 2014)

He says no more than $400 for the front end cause he is not sure what it will take to get the bumper off... WELL My husband and I took off the headlight pieces today since I have had the front end taken apart for the grill and lights anyways.... and we are going to tackle the bumper this weekend. (I work from home.. and do not need to drive the truck daily) That should help a lot with the price.. so who knows. I also got him a $200 tint job that I will mention for a referal discount! lol

I took my bumpers off and they werent that hard, the front comes off with about 6 bolts I beleive if I remember right. Also just to mention, I paid $300 cash to have my front and rear bumpers professionally painted.

That's what I thought too. We will take off the front this weekend. I was really working on the grill and lights this past week and havne't looked at the bumper yet. My paint shop did not suggest painting a chrome bumper so I am having them wrapped..

Ya they chip pretty easy, but so do the factory painted bumpers, I plan on getting a clear bra.

Wanted to get a shot with the sun out and the truck in front of this view, but there was too much traffic when we were coming in to stop on the 2 lane bridge. And it wasnt possible on the way out ... maybe next time

Yeah if you ever come this way its worth a visit if you have to pass through Bozeman. Thats just the lake, there's also a few hiking trails that lead up to waterfalls off the mountain. Oh campgrounds and bike trails as well, people hold weddings out there too.

 

If you get out this way, might as well visit Yellowstone while youre at it

Me and the family are moving to Colorado sometime or another. We're getting our ducks in a row before the move. We'll be a lot closer so that should be a pretty easy drive from there.

    • Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-
    • Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.     
    • I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
    • I do too. I’ll never be stuck again 😂
    • It has happened to me a few times. I carry a jumpstart-tire inflator with me.
