How has this setup held up? Were those nut certs?

Hey guys, I haven't posted on this forum yet but I have read and got a lot of great ideas.

Forgive me if this has already been posted but i put in a rough country 30" curved light bar behind my grill. The light bar itself is more pricey than a Chinese light bar but seems of good quality. The real reason I bought it was for the mounting bracket. It's awesome, a few bolts and that's it. No cutting, drilling, or measuring. And there wiring harness is of excellent quality also. Wrapped in braided nylon of some kind. Plug and play with the Totron wireless remote. And that remote does work with the home link. You can order the bracket without the light bar if you wanted to find a cheaper one (I'm assuming other light bar brands would work but I would check your actual sizes). And on there website it only has the Sierra bracket (they say the Chevy bracket was different?) in a package with a single row light bar. I just called and ordered the double row 30" curved with the gmc bracket. Great customer service just call with any questions and they have really fast shipping. Looks great on my 2015 Sierra all terrain, and my buddy did it the same way on his 16 sierra Slt.

I was talking about this another thread. They only show sierras on their website that have the all terrain grill. What about the SLT and SLE grills? Would the double row light bar fit right in the bottom opening of those grills? I really want to order thier double row kit with the sierra brackets but want to make sure it centers the light bar in bottom opening of the SLE grill.

My buddy and I did this at the same time and he has an SLT 2016 it fit in the bottom opening of the grill. where on my all terrain its in the middle. If you check out the pics of there brackets on the instructions there are multiple positions you could put it. We didn't try any other ones cause he wanted the bottom slot in the grill.

That doesn't look too bad for a mounting bracket. I would consider them as an option.

Anyone have this on his truck?

Paint my fog light corner and my miroir white. Add 19'' led bar and Morimoto 9012 HID Headlights (5500K bulbs with 35W ballasts) and 5202 HID fog light (5500K bulbs with 35W ballasts). I will check to add 54'' curved light bar.

I just finished installing the Rough Country light bar kit with a switch. How do you guys route the hardwired switc from the engine bay to the cabin? I can't seem to find a way through the firewall. I ended up routing the wire from the side door hinge and underneath the weatherstripping. I put some electrical tape on the metal frame so the wire won't get chaffed. But there's gotta be a better way.

There is a small circle on top of the large grommet in the driver side of the firewall. Cut a slit in it and fish your wire through. This is the method recommended for routing the power wires for the GM kicker system. Tip: remove the 3 nuts holding the power distribution box on the interior and move it slightly out of the way to make it easier to fish the wires through the firewall. I have installed my kicker power wires and rough country harness through here with no trouble.

Installed this last month. Rough country single row light bar. It took about 45 minutes to install using the vehicle specific brackets from rough country. 5ab3ee3ef9e81ebbc004fbea12a8b26a.jpg

    • Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
    • Paid $2.72 for E85 today.
    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
