It's a standard cab 40/20/40

I think you should keep your truck . It looks sharp and you put a lot of money and work into it . Maybe you should just enjoy it for a few years and get something else later [emoji41]

Well the Kicker hideaway sub box was a bust. Got sent a faulty one and didn't feel like running new wires again. So I just returned it. I also returned my light bar. I couldn't get it to fit where I had planned on it.

. Hi, do you think a 42 inch light bar would fit with some modifying the two supports up front after you tried on your 40inch curved. I was planning on getting the 42 from infiniteoffroad that is a flat design and custom fitting it the best I could with in reason if possible ? Thanks

Don't take just my word for it. But it would be tough to get a 42" behind the grill. My 30" fits great and I didn't have to cut any bars. Just drilled two holes in those supports and that's where it was mounted.

This week I should have high and low beams from StrictlyHIDs.com I'll post pics when I get them in. Hopefully they somewhat match my LED fog bulbs. I will also post pics of new LED reverse bulbs.

Been thinking about the rear flush LED's like you have, what color temp are they? 5K 6K? From you pics it looks like they are different than you reverse bulbs.

I had 5K reverse bulbs. But I felt they were too bluish. I have since got new LED reverse bulbs. My cargo light, reverse pods, and reverse lights all match now. I believe the pods are 5K tho. I will try to post new pics later of the reverse lights.

Here are the LED reverse bulbs and pods. They match really well. post-128529-0-86536700-1421801798_thumb.jpg

Here is the wall about 30-35 yards away dark.

I have my front windshield tinted with 35% tint. I will get a picture up showing the darkness at night when I get my HID bulbs installed.

      Gas Prices

      By richard wysong · Posted

      Question for you Grumpy, why is diesel so much more than gasoline? Seems to me that it may be slightly a little less refined than gas and it doesn't have 10% alcohol which presumably lowers the price of gas

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      Thanks, so being a different beast altogether, anyone know what the "optimal" temp is for the 10L80/90 for proper shifting?

      Some Assembly is Required

      How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that?

      Future GMC Jimmy

      What are your thoughts? The Chevy Blazer relaunch was an epic case of 'lunchbag letdown'. Jeep Wranglers and Ford Broncos stick out like a sore thumb.    The AI photos do not look like a 'retro version', but shrunken Tahoes. Get away from the 'futuristic look'. I've seen two concepts. One had rectangular headlight like a Rivian and the other way too big headlights (similar to a previous non-Wrangler SUV) should include dual round headlights like the early version.   If not this would look OK   At least it has GM styling (albeit the K2XX) A lot of the images floating around look like Bronco IIs or the current Bronco. Looking at the Broncos in my area (central Ontario, it seems to be a mix of 2 doors and 4 doors, 'mall rated' to ones that could go offroad.    I'm sure a AT4 and AT4X RPOs could be outfitted similar to a Rubicon if the braintrust understood the whole offroad scene. Crossing my fingers that if it does see the light that the front air dam/bumper doesn't extend below the center line of the tire...
