I'm not sure if anyone else picked up the strip lights off of Amazon. They are cheap and shitty, I can't imagine they would last more than 5 minutes in the rain. Don't buy them.

Another buyer of these lights here. Ive also got mine mounted underneath just above the running boards. They are exposed to all weather conditions and so far they have been great! Edited by dbcooper

Well that makes me feel a little better about them, but I still can't say I trust them. that tape on the back would not stick for me at all.

I certainly agree with the tape. I peeled off the stuff that came on mine, and used some 3m red stuff

FInally got my Rigid DOT fogs installed. Man, if you have big hands I wish you the best of luck. I had one hell of a time installing those lights last night. Very pleased with the output, but damn lol. I had a few choice words every time I skinned another knuckle

The end is wide open, I can't see them lasting. They give off great light, and would be great for in the truck. Try dipping one in some water, let's see how long it lasts.attachicon.gif20151215_162604.jpg

Try using some good silicone on the ends. I bet that will help stop the elements from getting in.

Put on some Suntek window tint today!! My goal was to only darken the front slightly over the factory 70%. Decided a layer of 50% was the look I wanted. According to the calculations this should put the vlt at 35%. First impressions... I like it a lot. Hopefully my decision doesn't change.

Blacked out my bow tie. I have to say something as easy and inexpensive as the plasti dip stuff sure make a difference in the look of the truck.

    • Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.
    • Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
    • Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
