What flares are those? And what tires are you running?

How do you like it? I'm wanting to get that setup.

i went with a retrax, but the diamondback was my other choice. only issue for me was being able to carry taller items in the bed.

Absolutely love it. Will hold up to 1400, to 1600lbs, extremely easy removal, plus you can access the bed from both front or back. You can easily carry taller items, you simply flip the front or back part over and just tie it down.

I had seen that. How well do the panels stay open? I was worried they would have a hard time staying up.

More pics with different angles of the flares please.

They are extremely good. Both the front and back have two hydraulic shocks each. Once you unlock, then easy open and stay open without any assistance. I have included the Diamondback website. You can also search on youtube, plenty of great videos on the item.

Finally installed my SR-M rigid led back up lights. Love the output on them. A buddy has them too and he moved them from truck to truck. $200 is a bit high but lifetime warranty is always nice. now to permanently install the switch

Solid. I really wish they had black anodized hinges. Outside of that this is my next purchase. This or the exhaust and intake.

If you look at my profile, I have some good upgrades. Intake, exhaust, headers, midpipe, customs tune, throttle body, etc.

Although I liked my BakFlip tonneau cover, I love the look and functionality of this one!

    • Yeah I don’t leave ANYTHING just sitting supposedly maintaining my battery on a vehicle or RV for multiday periods. I connect a charger as needed to provide a full charge, then disconnect it and either monitor the battery or follow a set schedule for periodic charging. 
    • Get the 5.3. I`m not a Ford guy.😉   I think these L84`s are less problematic than the L83`s. Certainly less than the L87.
    • I have finally paid off my mortgage and can now purchase a new truck. I would greatly appreciate any opinions on the purchase of a new 2026 GMC Denali 5.3L or 6.2L with the Denali reserve package. I am not interested in the 3.0L.  Or should I go buy a Ford?   Thank, John
    • One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...
    • 'GMAuthority' is reporting the 2027 HD's will have the L8S 6.6L gasoline V-8.  There was some talk here about the L8S awhile back.  Not sure what changes it will have now as it seems the 2027 emissions regulations have changed from what was originally proposed.  The big question will be is L8S just a stopgap for the last 2 years of the current T1 HD platform or will it carry forward to the next generation 2029 T1-2 HD's?    I assume the L8S will still be a Gen. V engine.
