Hey everyone just got a new 2017 Sierra All-Terrain, and the stock lights are decent but I am use to having a light bar given I had them on my 04 Silverado. Not so worried about where to mount the light but more interested in seeing how people hooked the them up inside the truck. Any pictures would be great to help with the modification

.

 

Please don't be that asshat who uses their lightbar on the road.

How does it look on the road or where ever? Ive been looking in to a nilight one

 

Overall, I am happy with it. It didn't cost me an arm and a leg, it has with stood water from car washes and it is really bright. It is a combo light so it does a good job flooding and spotting. I can't say how it compares to others but I have no complaints about it and it comes with a 2 year warranty.

 

I'll see if I can snap some pictures later tonight on in the next few days with it on just by itself so it can give you an idea. It lights up road signs well and the ground. It is no where near the performance of your headlights but it isn't designed for that. I can tell you, looking at it directly will hurt your eyes.

Here you go. It is upside down but it is just a push button so I didn't care. I wanted it to be easy access and sort of hidden away so it didn't accidentally get bumped.

What's stopping you? I get compliments on it all the time with it being off. Just looks super clean, tucked away but its there if you need it.

This is the light bar only:

This is no light bar, only head lights and fog lights:

The wiring is all tucked away and wrapped in wire loom. I ran it through the back of the grille, to the battery, and across the back of the engine under the hood cowling for the switch to the dash.

Awesome. I have the same light bar in the basement (amazon delivered it tonight). When it's not 28° I'll install it. Bench tested it tonight and im pleased. Looks great!

      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.
