dt4629, where do you use that light at?

I live up on a dark hill so these come in handy. Very very bright. There are like 150 LED bulbs.

 

would it be possible to get pictures of mounting locations? adding a lightbar is high on my priority list, but I've yet to see the mounting solutions in person.

I will as soon as I get back in town.

Finally put the 275/70/18 BFG all terrains on I had in then garage for couple months. Tinted front windows and added eye brow in windshield. I put fender flares on. They are a necessity due to where I work & hunt. Can't decide to paint them or leave them as is. Worried that the rocks will mess the paint and I would have wasted $500 bucks getting them done. Also put a Z71 badge on tailgate. $10 bucks from a local GM supplier. Would look better in sunlight. Just put the flares on after work. All the light I had.

Honestly I think the unpainted flares look good. I like the contrast between the brown paint an silver wheels and black flares.

I would definitely paint them. That's just me.

Looks Good! I kinda wish they had the smooth ones out when I bought mine now.

I would paint them, just make sure you have a good shop do it. I have had no problems with mine chipping after several trips to the ranch and plenty of road debris. I have not worried about rocks thrown up and have heard plenty hit them on the 5 mile caliche road(all torn up from the oil trucks) that leads to the ranch. If they do ever chip I will just do a roll on bed liner on the underside in the fender well.

Definitly paint them. If you are really worried about them being chipped by rocks then you could always put a later of protective film over them or atleast on the bottoms. Just like what you would put on the front of your vehicle.

Did some last minute back to school shopping this afternoon, then had dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse. Took some phone pics of the HC while I was out.

Just did the bowties black. Made a template with poster board and masking tape. Took about 35 to 40 minutes to do. Pleased with turnout.

    • Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra. 
    • I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

    • What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.
    • People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
