Did you guys pay out the ass for shopping on those? I wanted cab length nerf bars from iron cross but they wanted $170 for shipping because of the length...

Posted the other day that I had an ARE CX series cap and Onyx spray in bed liner. Dealer washed my truck after performing the recall yesterday. Truck won't stay clean for long.

 

EDIT: Also installed front Weather Tech floor mats.

Shipping! I don't buy from places that charge shipping. Maybe if you live in Canada that's were they would get you for shipping.

I put in some CalTrend seat covers and the WetherTech floor mats last week. Took about 2 hours to install the seat covers but they fit really well.

Put on the FAC G4 cover today! Fits mint, i really like it. Also put in the Pop and Lock power tailgate lock. I still can't believe i had to buy it aftermarket, i came from an Avalanche where it is standard equip! Here's a few pics, only 156 miles on it!

Block8head - thanks for the pic. Looks good.

 

Rjgvt - thanks for the pick of the topper. I haven't been able to find many pics of those yet. I think it looks great - may need to check into one myself. I'd love to see more pics if/when you have any.

NLB,

 

ARE has a picture gallery at their website showing different models of trucks with their caps on them.

Has anyone tinted their windshield, not just the strip.... Curious to know what a good percent would be that wouldn't be too dark for night driving.

Matt, yes, I had my entire windshield tinted with 55%. It is a special material with UV protectant for the windshield. Then had 5% put across the top of the windshield in the eyebrow area. I think it was around $135 for the windshield. Standing at the front of the truck, you have no idea the windshield is tinted since the upper part is so dark, however it really made a huge difference in darkening the inside.

 

For the bed cover, I spent a ton of time researching what bed protector and cover. Ended up with the BedRug and BakFlip VP. Could not be happier. I absolutely love the smooth look of the VP. I installed both myself and took about 2.5 hrs. Some people have complained about the cover touching the back of the truck (when you need to have it fully open), however the rubber bumpers rest on the window of the 2014. No paint rubbing to worry about. I have a yearly pass to my local carwash that puts a tremendous amount of water down on the truck and the bed is completely dry.

The BedRug doesn't let anything slide around.

    • 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.
