Well, I got rid of the Fox 2.0s after an off-roading incident. Installed these King 2.5s and then reinstalled them last night after noticing they were technically on the wrong sides lol...

Off-roading accident? Where in Arizona do you off-road, and how intense is the ride?

Finally figured pictures out! So again, just joined the Silverado club! I came from a 2010 Jeep and its weird not waving to other silverados like I did in my jeep. I always have to stop myself! But yesterday i spent about 8 hours clay barring from eh first time, then i put on Meguiars cleaner wax to restore the paint and hopefully save it from some of the swirls and automatic car wash marks that were all over her, and then I put on miguiars Ultimate finisher synthetic wax on top! It was a long time, but 100% worth it!!! My truck is a mirror now! Since I bought my truck 2 1/2 weeks ago I have added a MagnaFlow exhaust (sounds awesome btw), weather tech mats, mud flaps (I CANT BELIEVE THESE ARE NOT STOCK [especially on a black truck.... idk how the previous owner didn't cringe each wash seeing the new kick up from the tires]), Tonno Pro low profile cover, a bug shield, and I had line-x put in the bed! The truck itself came with 32 inch Nitto TerraGrapplers, the vision wheel branded rims, and a Rough Country Leveling kit!

Yeah... I took the previous 2.0s past their limit. Pretty sure both those coilovers are done for or need a complete rebuild. I didn't want to mess with them, so I got the Kings.

 

I'm in the Mesa area but I go to lower Sycamore, Four Peaks, Butcher Jones, and areas near Maricopa. Pretty easy rides but I'm like Ricky Bobby and wanna go fast! I love Arizona lol

Looking to remove the "Sierra" and "SLT" on the tailgate and maybe the sides. I have some fishing line to help peel them off. Any other tips or techniques that seems to work best (especially for getting the sticky residue off). I'm down here in the Pensacola heat so I'm hoping that will help loosen the adhesive.

 

Thanks.

Wd40 takes off the remaining adhesive, I've heard good things about the rubber wheels for the drill, have one myself just haven't used it yet

Thanks for the fast reply. Is WD40 safe for the paint?

I had good luck peeling mine at a slight angle...basically "stretching" it directly left or right.

Cool. I'm going to give the tailgate a try tomorrow. Just to confirm, it's only adhesive right? Not going to leave holes behind?

    • 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.
