Wow...that's some nice work right there! Well done.

Thanks! Being a cabinetmaker by trade and also building custom sub enclosures on the side helps but it took me 5 or 6 different designs to finally come up with something I really liked!

I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

Yup, always on when you're driving. . The lights is only shine to the floor and does not effect your eyesight when driving.

I agree. Doesn’t affect your driving. I actually hate driving without those now because I had them in my car and then moved to the truck when I bought it. So now I’ve had them 3+ years.

 

Sorry. Stupid app didn’t update so I thought this was a new post [emoji854]

Installed a new grille. I went back and forth for a long time but felt like this was a good look at a great price. Paid $112 shipped. Haven't hooked up the lights yet, need to figure out how to wire them so they come on with the amber running lights in the mirrors. Also unsure about the color. I like the black but it sort of reminds me of people who slap on fender flares without painting them, just looks unfinished. We will see.

Little more info on the grille. It is a two piece, so you can have each part painted separately if interested. Install was easy enough once you got the old grille off, but holy crap is that a pain. Fit and finish is nice but not quite OEM quality. If GM is the standard this is maybe 80-90% there, just a little more gap in areas than I'd like but worth the compromise for cost and all things considered for me. Led running lights look super cheapo, we will see how they work but I'm not expecting much, held on by the most tiny screws and the center one wasn't even bolted in right, I had to adjust. They do come with some of those waterproof connectors which is nice and seems to have enough wiring to route it nicely.

I have been eyeing this for a while. Have you hooked up the lights? How are they at night if you did? Also last question this the matte black version right? not grey?

 

thank you

Haven't hooked up the lights yet. Will post photos when I do. I am waiting to get the surround painted gloss black so that it looks a bit more OEM. It is the matte black version. Not sure if the fit isn't amazing in general or just mine but as I posted there is a bit of extra space on one side of the grille next to the headlights.

I'm excited to see how it looks! I think I will be ordering mine sometime this week. The lights I really only planned to use at night so my plan was to wire them with the headlights, unless the lights are bright enough for the daytime. I do like the idea of having it painted gloss black instead though. 

 

Mods never come quick enough for me though I am too indecisive.

Got my wheels and tires put on. Rubbing pretty good at 3/4 turn. I'm taking it in the morning and having another half inch lift spacer installed and I'll probably have to have a little trimming done still. 305/55R20s with a -18. ba6971e23396e995596b2084fddf031c.jpg

Post pics when you get it done! I went back and forth on a black mesh grille for far too long. Cost kept me from doing it and going my current route.

I like the lights, if i found a different grille i liked i would do it! I'd love to see the setup once done.

No after pictures yet, too dark but upgraded to GrillCraft’s MX series grill. Going to reinstall my gmc emblem on the grill when I get some free time.

I'm sure it's gonna look great. I really wish they made them for the 16s. How hard was the install? Fit pretty decent?

It looks very clean! I hate the grills will all those bolts around the edge and had my eyes on this grill for a while. Fit and finish were exceptional!

I’m doing a how to so don’t want to spoil things too much but install was easy. 7 screws in total. Once everything is buttoned down it’s a pretty tough set up. I did cut cut out the bracket in front of the radiator for a cleaner look. Reinstalling the gmc emblem will look great.

Good looking truck! Did you swap the shark fin or paint it? I have the SLT in Summit white and don’t really want to tear into my headliner to swap it out.

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
