Ok I have gone through 70 pages worth of LED lighting configurations and saw a post on mounting a light strip (20" I believe) in the gap where the front license plate would normally go. Here in Michigan we do not use the front plate, but I would like to use the gap for a light bar so I wouldn't have to put it behind the grill. Can anyone that has done this let me know how to do it with the least amount of damage done to the bumper area and if you know the link with step by step instructions that I can't seem to find, that would be a big help. Thanks.

Best thing to do would be to skim through this thread and find someone who has done this and the PM them to see if they have done a step by step write up. You will be more likely to get the instructions a bit faster that way.

Haha yea. Some of these threads are starting to get cluttered with questions being repeated and sometimes not answered because it was previously answered already. Hope you can get the info you are looking for and get your bar in! My personal vote goes for also putting a 30" behind the grille. At least if you have the non AT grille. I really like my double row bar back there! And I only paid $95 for it

Single or double row? I'm looking at installing a double row bar in the opening just below the GMC logo

i used a single row 30" combo I wanted it in the bottom row allowing max air to still get to rad and get best possible light output

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
