Got the lights from the Chinese manufacturer for way cheaper. The guy is on instagram, I can link he's page if yall want to order. I took the light apart and used the part that ends flush as a template to make cardboard templates. Where the lights are mounted is the only open space. I taped the whole part where the light would sit so then I could trace the template with a marker. Drilled holes on each corner, then with a grinder and disk to cut metal I cut that sucker lol. With a dremel and some tip that I had laying around I grinder down so the light could fit perfect. Once the light was in and straight with a sharpie I marked the holes for the bolts to hold it in place. I already had lights like that but under the bumper. I took them off and used those wires to connect to this lights. On with reverse or at night if you click the unlock button on the remote. Is a really simple mod.

Went ahead and pulled off the chrome door molding and used some Plastidip to colormatch the mirror caps. Planning to clear coat them this coming weekend so they can stand up to the many bugs that shall hit them in the coming summer months

NICE! The mirrors look much more tame without all the damn chrome!

I'm putting the video together, I just need to get footage of the lights during the night.

What was your process???

 

Looks great

Lots of time on a ladder hovered over the engine compartment. I remind the shop to wipe up any drips after fluid changes as well. I am sure I annoy them.

Put a Magnaflow muffler on my truck today. 3" in dual 2.5" out part number 12198. Debating if I want to put tips on it or leave it be. I think the V6 sound will take some getting use to.

Finally stopped raining and is great spring day. Just put on new EGR matte black flares, EGR bodyside molding,black handles, and caps. Glad I saved caps and handles from my ruby silverado. Took off all chrome molding, handles, and mirror caps. Also took off the chrome assist steps too. Tired of all the chrome. Going to put on black NFAB bars in the morning or sometime this week. Busy day and tired. Later will be possibly a 4 inch lift and some kind of bumper replacements.

Did you have to drill holes for the fender flares

Being in the middle makes my OCD a little happier. Mine was above the "Silverado" to the left and was going to leave it on there but took it off. Now I wish I did because I now work at that dealership lol.

    • It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.       
    • Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!
    • If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.
    • My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.    
    • I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
