look good , need photos of light bar ??? Please

First thing I said in my post was, "I don't have the light bar installed yet". Don't even have it purchased yet but am looking to purchase a 20" single row for the front bumper.

A double row works well behind the Denali grill. Here's my 30" curved Totron:                 The LED's are 1" appart and the rows of holes in the grill just happen to be 1" ap

The correct term is "illegal commodities broker" thank you!   I actually work for an oil company, which is similar because both businesses provide highly desired products at artificially inflated

I haven't purchased any light bars yet either, but the last ones I had on my 01 Tahoe, I got off eBay really cheap and they worked great with no issues. I had a 52" above the windshield, a 24" behind the grill and two 4" pods in the factory foglight locations. Searching online the other day, I came across this website that has some really really good deals. I haven't bought from them and in no way am I affiliated with them, just passing along what looks to be some good savings on LED lights. http://www.qualitylightbar.com/ I'm probably gonna order some pretty soon.

I've been skimming this thread and I didn't see any mention of the light bars on superbrightleds.com. I got a 21" for my old Jeep off there for $70. The wiring harness was $17, and I added a strobe/key fob transmitter for an extra $17. The light bar is about 4,000 lumens and has held up to some serious abuse being on the front end of the Jeep for over a year.

I chose to wire the bottom led off the parking lamp circuit. The top part comes on when the switch is rocked active.

I have not seen anyone do that, but that's a great idea. I have not seen a thread, nor do I know of an attempt to make it work. I think most folks just get into a aftermarket controller and call it a day.

I talked to a GMC mechanic about doing this and was told that it wouldn't work because the stock one is integrated into the display. Ever notice when you are scrolling through the display that there is a blank page, that's where the settings for the brake controller would be displayed if your truck came equipped with the stock one. The day I brought my truck home I noticed the pigtail in the glove box and was all excited thinking I could do the same thing you were talking about but oh well.

Anyone put a light bar on a 17 yet? I purchased the RC grille light bar kit and went to install it just to find out I have active grille shutters. I read somewhere that one member just removed the shutters but left the motor so it doesnt throw the check engine light. What are your thoughts on that option as well.

i think the red would look great behind the grill on a GMC... ..even comes with the wiring harness.

You have to play with the light and tilt it at just the right angle and that will take care of the light high pitch noise. Some foam from the box in between some fins also helped. The 1/2 tubing fixed the wind threw the door and stopped the rain from pouring in thru the door jam. Poor design by RC in my opinion . If it was up to me I wouldn't recommend them at all.

What type of tubing? Kind of looks like 1/2 clear hose.

Has anyone tried this setup,

 

http://zroadz.com/index.php/product/top-of-front-bumper-led-light-mounts/

 

I really like the RC light bar being behind the grille so I am kind of torn on if I like it out in front or not. Also, has anyone had any experience with ZRoadz and their lights? Are the good lights or would it be best to buy the brackets alone and get a different brand light bar?

Adding the final touches... I ordered it from Steve www.sneveysoffroad.com20inch highlander trail series with the combo beam. The install wasnt as bad as i planned till wiring the relay and switch.. Finished product evynybev.jpgRemoving grill was a BITCH... Be prepared to cuss and drink like a fish. Step one.. Open hood. Pull tabs out that hold the plastic overlay. Than there is 4x 10mm screws. Take those out... Next go in the wheel well take 2x 7or 8mm screws out. (this holds the painted peice above your bumper on) pull edges off till it reaches headlights. Now.. Slide under the head first under the bumper.. Above license plate there is painted to match clips push them with a flat head and wrap end of painted peice...There is 4x more bolts on bottom of grill a9umy4u8.jpgbyve8uje.jpg6aqu6e3a.jpgNow i used a dremel to cut slots for the mounting arm hereapu8avut.jpgDrilled holes and mounted.. PerfectlyLET THERE BE LIGHT!! THE ehare5uj.jpgyqahudub.jpgHigh beams and fogs.. (did that to) any3upa2.jpgYou can compare that to just light bar. Heres all together su9u5ere.jpgNow the best part... I'm not drilling into a 40k trucks interior... Chevy made my dah here. I just pushed my toggled switch into here.. Holds Extremely tight.. Ran wires under panel under steering wheel out the hood popper. ydu7azub.jpg3ega8e9y.jpg

 

I know this is a really old thread, but how is that switch working for you after this time? Any lessons learned or wish I would have done that thoughts?

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
