What kind of mount did you use in the tow hook openings?!

The light is the mount. Just had to drill a hole up top and bolt it up. Had to add a thin piece of Al. flat bar on top on the inside of the tow hook area to keep the light from flexing.

 

Mictuning 4.5" lights from Amazon...spot beam pattern, adds alittle extra light downroad with my highbeams.

Nice truck and Headlights look good can you post a few more pics of them

I plan on painting mine black eventually but probably leave the reflector orange and maybe painting the black piece around the projector dark grey for some contrast. Did you bake or cut them open?

Also, you have to cut the tabs off when disassembling the the guts of the headlights to paint right? How did you put it all back together, jb weld or something

I'll try and post some pics later when I get home.

 

I baked them to get em open, the hardest part is cleaning the channel out of the old permaseal, stuff is tuff!

 

I think the only tabs I had to grind off were for the turn signal reflectors, and I used a little jb weld to set em back.

 

I just ordered clear reflectors from Clearz with switchback bulbs and outline halos from led concepts. Probably paint the inside near the projector silver for some contrast. Too much black now, everyone asks if I have light covers on...

This is my 2015 Silverado 1500, I just recently got a light bar put on it and will put a picture of that up soon! Comments welcome, thank you!post-149827-0-62717800-1446075025_thumb.jpeg

Not a real big fan of Fuel wheels, but the dark tint looks great with your truck color! Truck looks real clean...

 

Def. post up some pics of your lightbar, probably get me one soon too.

It's truck month. I am new here but not to trucks... I sure love this one, it's just an LS but still pretty nice. The 5.3L will be breathing better by Saturday morning - new exhaust. Photo taken in Twentynine Palms.

    • 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.
