I do not have that lever on my steering column or the rubber plug to the left of it. Must be for telescopic steering I just tilt?

 

Correct.

The correct term is "illegal commodities broker" thank you! :smoker:

 

I actually work for an oil company, which is similar because both businesses provide highly desired products at artificially inflated prices! haha

Are they hiring? I'm willing and able to relocate.

Well when you get it, hurry up and get it installed so i can look at it and follow suit lol

I live in Lafayette as well so feel free to PM me if you'd like help.

 

I plan to mount one in the same space as you. I might even add a 30" behind the grill (for shiggles).

I'm probably going to go with Chinese versions though as i cant bring my self to drop the coin that rigid/visionX etc wants for theirs. I know that they are made in the US (supposedly) but $500+ for a light bar is ridiculous to me (No offense).

Pulled off the bumper tonight, removed the plastic trim piece to expose underlying metal, and test fit my new light bar. Fits perfect and looks pretty sweet IMO. Plan on doing permanent mount/wiring this weekend. Pics of bumper & test fit attached.

ARRRRRRGGGGHHH!!!!!!

 

Got my light bar put in and the bracket I fashioned didn't work as planned! The light bar is angled down about 10-15 degrees from level. Soooooo ticked right now!

I did go ahead and light it up anyway... sucker is bright! Pic below doesn't do justice because light is focused at a spot on the ground about 10 ft in front of the truck. Reflection washes out iphone camera, but even pointing down, you can tell it puts out more light than my HID headlights.

    • Not sure about DFM tech but i know there's a stop/start deactivation button. 
    • I could be interested if they axed cylinder deactivation and at least have a button for stop start. I’m sure the HP numbers will be higher. I would want a longer warranty to help build confidence. I’m a less is more guy as I get older. A V-8 work truck model would be my choice. I know a few outfitters for custom additions I prefer. 
    • It's official. GMC pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Sierra 1500, and we got the first official look. Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/next-gen-2027-gmc-sierra-1500-v8-trim-changes/   The quick hits: SLE and SLT are dead. The new core retail trim is just called "Elevation". Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L built with high-performance Corvette architecture roots. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally ditches the old gearbox and gets the 10-speed automatic. AT4X moves to larger standard 35-inch tires with front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and heavy-duty Jounce Control Dampers. Over 60 inches of combined display on Denali Ultimate and AT4X, complete with a motorized articulating center screen and an adaptive passenger screen. Seven simplified trims across the entire model line to clean up ordering confusion.   So let's get into it: New 5.7L and 6.6L gas V8s with custom active exhaust tuning and a Corvette connection. Is this the exact engine lineup half-ton traditionalists have been begging for? Purging the iconic SLE and SLT names after all these years to lean entirely on Elevation as the high-volume core. Bold move, or a mistake? That motorized articulating 16.3-inch screen that slides up to reveal a hidden dashboard vault. Awesome mechanical theater, or does it make you nervous about long-term durability? Physically lowering the headlamps in the front fascia to improve road courtesy and stop blinding oncoming traffic. Smart real-world engineering, or does it hurt the truck's aggressive stance? What trim are you putting your name down for on day one? Drop your first impressions below.  
    • My overnight hospital stay turned into five.  I developed a post operative fever and an erratic  heart rate.  A blood clot in the lungs was the culprit.  This is apparently a common post surgical complication and easily remedied.   I was the youngest in a four bed ward and a Doctor with a Geriatric specialization was in charge of my care.  All of the nurses were good and some were outstanding at dealing with old people.  It was very evident that my age triggered a different level of care!  My advice to any senior going for a hospital stay is to have a trusted family member advocate visible.  If not, you will still be well cared for, but you may discover that your voice  isn't as strong as it once was!
