Where u get your headlights? And did you get spot or flood led flush lights ? For your fog lights I'm gonna do that but no sure if I should get flood or spot

Headlights from autopartswarehouse.com, fog lights are flood and behind the fogs there's a trim piece from rigid to make them more straight and not have the big bumper curve.

Well I was going to get my front 2 windows tinted to match the rears (don't want them as dark as my old truck) and do the windshield brow. Was also thinking about Husky Liner X-act floor mats, but got my registration and property tax I have to pay on the truck annually is making me postpone those 2 things. Oh well lol.

Today, I used some smoke vinyl wrap to smoke the ambers on the tow mirrors and waxed the mirror caps to help make them shine [emoji106]

(I promise the vinyl looks a lot better in person)

 

Recently (since I haven't posted what I've been doing in this thread for a while haha)

I went ahead and plastidipped my mirror caps, got some cheap chrome handle covers off Ebay, colormatched and installed (including tailgate handle), took off the door moldings, had to tighten the exhaust tip a few times since its been coming loose for some reason and rattles like there's no tomorrow, and managed to crack the convex mirror on my driver side mirror. I tried to disassemble the mirrors the proper way which is to remove he glass mirrors and then you can access screws to continue disassembling the rest of the mirror cause I was gonna get the ambers smoked professionally but I already said how well that turned out for me and is why I went the vinyl route since It didn't require me to disassemble.

I'm considering going back to the original chrome handles.

I love your tow mirrors, I'm jelly. You should get flush mount reverse lights for your bumper, it will look better.

Thanks man, I'm really liking how they are came out and I originally wanted to do flush mounts but then I have some problems with the obvious requirements, cutting a hole in the bumper since it's not reversible, flush mount pods can't be aimed, and well, I already had these pods so I don't feel like having to buy more lol. And if I did get some it'd be some driving pattern lights

I really want to go ahead and get a bed mount rack that can hold a 50" bar. Preferably curved. That way I can add light out front but not have it above the windshield and avoid glare off the hood. Also no wind noise. If I do ever end up getting the rack, I'd move the pods up there. Maybe even change it out for a 30" or 40" bar mounted unside down on the rack. May even have to get a decal that says "I dare you to tailgate me"

Did you have to trim the studs when you put the 1.5" wheel spacers on?

Was it DOA or die out rather quickly?

    • It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.
    • 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.
