No gap, be nice about Binki. He served with me on my last deployment to AFG. A child sent me a care package, Binki was inside. He was my Scout, FireWatch, ammo runner. I've had him for five years, still has AFG moon dust, and some sand left in him...

1,950, but that did include full glass, taking the wheels off and doing all the suspension, wheels, and calipers, and a full interior protection. Only part I didnt do was the bed cover or bed itself.   I hear it really varies depending on location.   This is also the 3rd vehicle they have done for me so I got a pretty good discount. It includes full paint correction and deep cleaning of everything, even between the rear springs, before coating it since it is permanently bonded to your paint after they do it.  But man I love how slick it makes it and how the water and dirt come off so easy.  Looks freshly waxed everytime I go through the touchless wash.

Got the driver assist handle installed at the dealership hoping it wouldn't have the gap issue with the headliner others have reported when doing it themselves, but turns out it must just be how that part was designed.  Not bad but a little annoyed I paid 20 bucks for them to do it and it still isnt really perfect.
 
The last picture is the passenger side handle which has no gap for comparison.   If anyone knows how to get that gap to go away please let me know, otherwise I'll just live with it since the handle still seems perfectly sturdy and functional.

Looks good, no one notices it but you.

I had the accessory  grab handle added to my 15, no gap. I took it off and used it on my 18 and there is a little gap.  Maybe a function of headliner shape or reuse....I don’t know.  Barely noticeable but I know it’s there.

Bought one, installed it on my 18, noticed same little gap, completely forgot about it till now that you’ve brought it up lol. It’s very common, happened to me on my neighbors 14 too. A couple days later you’ll completely forget about it, looks good to me, good job!

Tested out the new foam cannon... had to do the wife’s too. Used the chemical guys citrus. Pretty happy with it - will go for more gloss next time but gives it a really good “clean” look when all dried off.

Really love how the ceramic coating makes the rain look too.

Just received my front and rear Bumbershellz this morning. Too bad I have to wait till spring to install (temps too cold for tape to adhere correctly). Thanks to @Waterfowler41 and @Skeeter McSkeet for the info and honest reviews of Bumpershellz.bumpershellz.thumb.JPG.7a377b102df97ed6c6d2c0923a435ac4.JPG

My 5100's came in the other day and no rain today so I went to install, but then I noticed the rust(after 4 years and 33k miles)...

This is gonna take awhile and yes, it's as fun as it looks! I'll spray everything down with Krown rust protection when I'm done.

About a week in total. Had the truck for 5 months today. 

1.Put a leveling kit on 2.5 in the front 1" rear rough country. The one where you disassemble the strut. Kind of pain put it rides decent.

2. Full IGL ceramic treatment to the truck and fuel wheels.

3. This morning by friend did a norcal on my my front inner fenders. 

4. Few hours ago we installed and aligned my new fuel Tritons 22x12 with 33" tires.

Does it rub at all after the norcal mod? I'm getting ready to do my 2015 Silverado 1500 in a couple of days. Any advise would be appreciated.

    • 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.
