But how much would that run me for parts alone? [emoji16]

 

I was thinking about swapping to the standard blocks and track bars too. Rough Countrys are $400 for their track bars

I was thinking of going with the RCX track bars too. Price isn't bad. But will they be an eye sore?

 

Also where could standard blocks be gotten?

Ebay..pro comp..all the usual sources and nah i don't think they would be. I like the RCX ones cause of the heims where they attach at the axle so we can still flex as usual. Most i've seen are straight bolted for up and down.

If you get them, let me know as I really want to see them before I purchase. And want to know if it's worth the change [emoji16]

I am seriously leaning towards it as its way cheaper than a new spring pack

Thanks for the pic. Not too bad. Would show more for mine only cause I have amp steps so nothing to hide them [emoji51] but still not an eye sore. Now to hear how you like it [emoji6]

Rust oleum bed liner from Home Depot actually. Although, I did lay down some plastidip on it first just in case if I didn't like it I could remove it.

I like the way the skid plate looked best, wasn't too high or too low, and at the time I was still at that mentality of "I'm only gonna buy quality parts, not gonna look at Amazon or eBay for this vehicle". I was able to get it for like $200 on carid.com as they had a sale going on

oh I thought you mentioned you using Rust oleum bed liner spray for the bull bar? just wanted to see why you chose one over the other

Yes I did. Just wanted to make sure that's what you meant. Wasn't sure haha. But I chose the bed liner over the dip just because I feel it'll hold up better to rock hits or anything since its on the front of the vehicle. Plus I planned to keep it black till the day I get rid of it so I something more permanent is better.

Now that I think of it, it also ties it in more with the OEM black plastic since all of it is about as rough as Rustoleum's spray liner. I plan to eventually getting around to pulling off all the plastics on the truck and bed lining them. Did it on my old Yukon and it helped tremendously with grip and fading.

      The Peckish Synapse

      Well that book won't sell many copies. Taking ones right foot off the loud pedal never gets applause. Funny really, It isn't that people don't know what to do...they just don't want to do it. But they will complain about it. About bad craftsmanship, about the cost of fuel, about the cost of part and repairs and mainly they complain that the solution while still possible isn't one they are willing to do.    I observe this daily. 'Gas cost to much!", they wail, while they mat it passing at 80+ mpg and scoot down the road like gas cost a dime a gallon. Then complain about the few that will lift and save both fuel and iron like they are owed and own the road.    Good thing they haven't an ounce of influence on my equipment. The rest I just laugh at. Stupid is as stupid does, right Forest?

      Gas Prices

      Today I filled up with 4.899 gallons of fuel at a cost of $4.899 a gallon. $24 bucks. 290 miles. 59.2 mpg. After my 4% COSTCO discount just under eight cents a mile.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.
