That looks cool

 

Thanks man, it's still working great.

 

A lot of others have purchased my mounts now, always seems to line up very nicely with a 30" bar.

Used a length of bar stock to hold the light bar behind the grill. If anyone is interested, I can post/explain the build I did.

I'd like to see your mount if you have pictures of it. I was thinking of doing the same

Not a huge fan of drilling through that thing. I made a clamp that uses U bolts to hold on the light bar. Ill attach a PDF that you can print, trace, cut, modify to your own needs.

The measurements of that specific template are for an 2015 GMC All Terrain Grill 30" dual row Light bar. Definitely do a mock up on your chev to ensure it works.

 

If it doesn't, well at least you got something to start with. More than likely you will just need to make that 50" vertical part either shorter or taller.

Hello-

 

I just purchased a 2015 Silverado LTZ......love it. I am installing a 30 inch dual row light bar behind the grill this weekend and I have a question that I need help on if anyone is able...

 

I want to tap into the high beam wire so that the Light Bar works with the high beams and the switch, which goes through a relay. What color is the high beam wire I need to tap into?

 

Thanks-

 

Ben

I will attach some pictures of the mount I made. I basically sandwiched the radiator square stock support bar between two pieces of 3/16 inch aluminum.

Anyone have a picture of an install behind a High Country grill? Bought a 30" Rigid dual combo bar. Should be here tomorrow. Wondering how much light will be blocked by the horizontal bars of the grill or if there is enough space between that light output won't be significantly affected.

Has anyone ever smoked a light bar so it doesn't stand out as much. I have a Sierra AT and every light bar ive seen behind the grill stands out like a sore thumb. One or two coats shouldnt knock the light output down that much should it? I also noticed Rigid has released a blacked out model at the SEMA Show. Unfortunately they're way out of my price range. Hopefully the Chinese knock offs will follow suit.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      New tires are on, Cooper Discoverer Road+Trail AT's in 235/75/15. $100 per tire, after $10 AAA discount. Plus install ($100), disposal fees, and taxes.   The new tires ride nice. Catch 22, new tires, I love it again! But I feel like I've been through the wringer with this rig, and maybe I don't need this kind of headache right now. Wait until tomorrow, I'll probably love it again and keep it another week.   Never a dull moment: Got a CEL driving to the tire shop, P0172 bank 1 too rich. Oh lordy, really? I've been enjoying an emoji-free dash for too long, apparently. I popped the hood at the shop and I think there was a vacuum leak very close to the intake. Cleared the code and put a bunch of miles on it going home, code never returned. My fix was zip-tying the line on the vacuum reserve ball because the hose won't stay seated. It's either that or the fuel pressure regulator has an issue again or an injector is leaking. See why I'm getting tired of this one?!   In the gas price thread I recorded 19mpg on the last tank in fairly mixed driving and some higher-speed highway (70). I also don't have the lower engine shield installed right now, and that would help with diverting a lot of wind underneath the truck.   Not too long ago, a green '96 4-door 4x4 came up for sale with less than 1,000 actual miles. There was a story there but it was real, and the place wanted like $25k for it. Would be fun to have a NICE example of one of these, but not too nice. The joy is driving them.   That's it for a while...family and social stuff all weekend, no time to play with my Hot Wheels in the garage for the next couple of days.

      $5.19 after Kroger discount for 87 today. Moses!   Somehow I've already put 560 miles on the Blazer with the last tank clocking 19mpg.

      Oil dipstick

      By Stu Katz · Posted

      I have a 91 GMC SIERRA 1500 4.3 liter. My dipstick broke. Can someone tell me how long is the oil dipstick. Local Part stores do not stock the oil dipstick. If someone can tell me the length. I can match up an aftermarket one. Thank you.
