Makes me think about just how dirty things can get. I'd really like to have a full set of 4 of those. But, I don't think my wife likes the way they look.

The ebay spacers I bought were made from a custom aluminum extrusion and milled on both mounting surfaces. They were supplied with grade 8 bolts. They were manufactured by a southern California machine shop who sells directly on ebay. I paid about $40. The most popular high priced kit uses plastic spacers.

Link to said spacer?

Where did you get the handle?

EDIT: Nevermind, found it.

I didn't find much on here, but does anyone have any opinions on hood-bug-rock guards. Do they work well? I personally don't like the look of them. I have a black truck so it wouldn't stick out too much if I got a smoked one. I'm just wondering because I'm driving cross country in my 6 month old silverado. Last time I drove across country was in a Nissan titan. I noticed a lot of nicks and scratches on the truck especially the hood. I've looked up a few brands. Not crazy about the ones that attach with clips. So I'm just wondering if people have had good luck with any? any certain brands?

 

Thanks

I did it per my post #9 here. http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/162734-foglights-on-with-high-beams/page-1

 

The method I posted gives full control of the fog lights any time the ignition is on. The exception being that the fog lights will come on with high beams regardless of whether the fog light button is pressed.

 

Others have taken the method and tied other circuits to get "always on" fog lights.

I ordered it with the iridium surround and ran with that for a little while to see if I liked it. Then I popped out the inner grille and put it in my chrome surround like I originally intended. I haven't ever seen another one like it either. I get some head scratchers in other Sierras that obviously haven't seen one before either.

 

I bought mine a year ago when they were only offering them with the painted surround. Couldn't just buy the inner AT Grille. Now they come with an unpainted surround that you have to get painted, for a bit less money I hope? You might be able to just get the inner AT Grille without the surround through a body shop now? They were not available that way a year ago.

Find the hardwire radar detector thread and you will find your on with the key pin. wire both together. Also do the reverse with cargo and bed lights

Jake, in that thread somewhere, somebody came up with a way to do it.

 

But it seems to me, someday you're going to want to start the truck without the lights coming on, and with D2's being 3000 plus lumens, and not street legal, you would want to control them with a switch of some kind. Oncoming traffic might be blinded by those.

    • Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable. 
    • I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle. 
    • I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure. 
    • Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.
    • Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is.
