I sanded flares and handle myself and took them to the shop where I had everything painted. It was fairly easy as I have I have an electric sander. The finish came out very smooth and clean.

 

 

Ok. Thanks!

Will work on that soon.

Thanks! I am not sure what to do on the grill and definately a wheel upgrade soon.

I have done some similar things to mine. Painted front and back bumper, chrome Denali skid plate, and exhaust. I did order a grille on eBay that turned out great in my opinion once I had it painted. I never thought about painting the flares and tailgate handle. Thanks for helping me think of more ways to spend money on this truck!

Put on my aFe intake today. Also took pics of the shorty antenna I put on last month and the aFe exhaust I did last week.

After having my Corsa Exhaust sit in my living room for about a week I finally got off my ass and installed it. Was very easy install but trying to get the stock system out in one piece was a little bit of pain in the ass but not too terrible.

What I have done is get rid of my Dodge Mega Cab and buy a Reg Cab sierra with a 6.6 bed. I love it.I could park in a regular spot and not have to look for two spots open thru so I can drive 1/2 way into the next one. Makes people mad when they say oh.. theres a spot and see me in it.

How do you like you're grille insert? Was planning on getting that very same insert, but I'm not sure now after seeing it installed Edited by DarkChariot

I like it. I'm planning to somehow cut out the honeycomb and just have the insert on there.

Installed the Drivers Side Assist Handle, excellent mod and money very well spent. :D

 

That's on my short list. Got one on the watch list on my ebay account!

Had some time today. I installed an AVS aero skin, Bak Roll X, Bed extender and GM bed lighting kit. Ended up nice

    • It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is. 
    • I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.    
    • Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.
    • If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.
    • It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.
