What are you guys running for led light bars? I have a 2012 I'd like to get some more lights on. Looking for a bumper area mount so I don't have to drill holes in the cab (do try have ones that mount like off the tow hooks) and how did you guys wire them up?

Legal, probably not, I'd just turn it off at the sight of a car coming, till the moron don't drop their high beams and I'm sure it's not a cop, then hello daylight!

I seen some mounted behind the front grill and I really admired them. Could barely even see them.Thinking of doing that myself just to have fun with it. Good for backroading!!

I did mine behind the grill out off sight

 

How well does the light shine through the SLT grill? I thought about it, but worried that much of the light would be blocked from the thick grill.

I added a 30" bar behind the grille. Mounted it right to the radiator supports

It looks very clean!

I also added a bull bar with a 20" bar, but I'm not too sure I like the bull bar. I might mount the 20" behind the grille somehow and keep the front end flush and clean.

Wired it all to a wireless 12v switch I got from Tractor Supply. Saved a ton of time running wires into the cab and was only $30!

Works flawless and they are super bright!

Nice. That gives me lots of ideas now. Mind showing where you have the switch mounted. And. Did you run a relay. Or just a straight wire from power source to the switch then to light? And what are you using for a power source?

They are for off-road use only but.............. great for back-up lights, hunting,pissing people off, like train horns !!!!!!

I want some.........

I mounted my 20" dual row in the bumper slot. I like how it looks

      My brother has an Escalade. The warranty has expired so he told his wife to go to the Valvoline quick lube he uses some times. They told her if her car was a 2020 and newer 6.2 engine they wouldn’t touch it. Hers is a 2019, so they did the oil change.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
