You are correct! When removed, it improves offroad handling like you wouldn't believe.

 

I wouldn't recommend removing it unless you know exactly what you're doing.

 

thank you . but my truck see more black top these days .

Got the Morimoto Lights in the mail and have been searching all day on how to remove the factory fog lights.....

For those of y'all that have installed Bilstein 5100's in the REAR, did you install piston or body up? The lettering I suppose is to be upright which means piston down. This is how it was on my 5160 series shocks on my 02 on front and rear. Any insight would be great gents!

I'm definitely thinkin body up, piston down. That's the way my fox shocks are installed (as per fox, not just what I decided to do lol)

My understanding is you have to pull the whole bumper off. That's whats kept me for getting new fogs.

I didn't see instructions in the box so checked their website and didn't see anything. Guess I could email them about it

You do not have to pull the bumper off to install the fog lights. There are steel brackets held on by 6 or 7 15mm bolts and you also have to remove the bumper support bracket.

Installed OEM mud flaps on the front. Ran out of time for the rears. Figured the rivnut thing would be trouble but not really

I don't know from experience just going by what TheRetroFitSource guy said. If you do figure out how to do it without taking the bumper off please post how you did it.

If you use a quality polishing compound and some elbow grease you can remove 95-99% of the hazing. I recommend Chemical Guys products.

 

When removing the badging, did you use your fingers to remove the sticky, WD40, or the wheel? If you used the wheel where can I get it what brand and how gently should i use it?

I just removed it with my fingers with some WD40. I have a black truck so I had a few small scratches but they polished up easily.

Installed Recon third brake/cargo light. Waiting for my red smoked tails from Spyder to arrive.

    • 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.
