California is THE place to be if you're into cars. Proven history of that. It's not debatable. No where in the world comes close. I can see more exotic cars, antiques, hot rods, built trucks, etc., in my town than can be found in many states. This is the center of the automotive world. Any automotive business that wants to make it big has to make in the big show...California. Specifically, Southern California.

 

I think you're mistaken in how many people hate it here. You must be confusing it how many people that don't live here, hate California. Otherwise the damn population would be lower. LOL.

 

Come on out on vacation. I'll show you around.

 

When I said the part about being into cars, I meant for smog and some mods not being Cali legal while being legal in the other 49 states. I agree that it's the center of car people, but that wouldn't be enough for me to want to live there since I can be just as into cars where I live than in Cali. As far as seeing modded vehicles, ya it's col to see them, but in Cali as you said it's basically every street corner so to me that wouldn't make it seem as good. Think about it like this, someone in Cali may not care to see a Ferrari because they see high performance cars by the hour, while in other states people will stare and look at it. So it's almost like it's not as special to have a performance car in Cali as it would be anywhere else. Also to add to what I said, Cali seems to be the only state that people hate living there. Some people complain about a certain city or living in a really small town, but Cali seems to be the only state that some people hate living in. Just from what I've seen.

 

I'm not trying to put down Cali or people that live there, especially since I haven't been there and only go by what I see and read everyday. But, let's just say it's the last state I would want to live in.

There's good looking women in the south and they're not fake and "barbie doll type" like a lot (not all) of Cali women lol. Plus I don't care how good a woman looks (no matter where they're from), if she has a bad personality or even an annoying personality I'm not putting up with it lol. Sure they're good to look at on the beach, but you can't touch so it doesn't matter. The south is full of good looking women and most aren't afraid to get dirty or anything.

I've been off the market for 30+ years. So, no touchie for me anyway. But a good lookin lady, young or old, is nice to look at no matter where I am. With 22.6 million people in SoCal, you can probably find more good lookin gals that are as outdoorsy, or tough as you can in any other place in the country. The other day, I was watching an athletic competition that was like Iron Man, but more like boot camp. The top lady was good enough looking to be a model. She was tough as nails. And an attorney...in Los Angeles. What's not to like?

 

Like the saying goes...'you can find anything you want in Los Angeles'

 

I just don't want any vent visors.

I am thinking about picking up a set of these, but I want to know from those of you who have the GM accessory part installed on all 4 windows.

Will installing these cause any additional wind noise while driving on the highway.

Thanks!

I've had in-channel and stick on window visors and my personal favorite are the AVS low profile stick on window visors. I love the look, ease of installation and usage. They have an in channel look but don't mount between the window and the seal/ rubber gasket.

I just installed the AVS low profile stick on also and they look great. The stick on aspect doesn't bother me as my wife's 97 Z28 Camaro has a portion of the rear spoiler held on by those sticky tabs and is still on there today.

My '98 had the AVS stick on ones when I bought it in '04. Roughly around '10 one of them came unstuck and you heard is hitting against the door while going down the interstate. Ever since then I'll always get in-channels. The WeatherTech in-channels on my '14 haven't given me any problems at all. I'm pretty sure the double sided tape that holds the Camaro's spoiler on are stronger than the tape that AVS uses.

I just picked up my 2015.5 and added the AVS stick ons. Never had any issues with them on previous vehicles, we put them on all of our ambulances at work that are always parked outside year round...

In channel GM visors on my truck. No noise increase that I can tell. They are Lund, and the brand name is painted white, which is slightly iritating. I should have took care of prior to installing them.....

 

Visors are a must for me. For both rain, and using wiper fluid with the window cracked open.

 

And btw, Texas women are the hottest. I don't care for the state, but damn.... they know how grow beautiful women there.

      I suspect at some point in the near future, the hardware will be free and you pay a subscription to access the vehicle - alldata style.

      BAK MX4 EZ-Lift Install and Review

      By parthery · Posted

      I've been eyeing an upgrade to my tonneau cover for a bit now.  Intrigued by the BAK MX4 EZ-Lift with the torsion spring and went for the upgrade.  Thoughts and musings during unpacking, install and a few days of usage.   Once my order went into Realtruck, it took about 4 days to ship.  Unfortunately, FedEx Ground destroyed the box and contents and it was unusable upon receipt.  To Realtruck's credit, one email with pictures and an RMA was sent to me to send the first one back, and another unit was shipped out.  It arrived 3 days later, unscathed.   I opened the box and it looked like every other BAK MX4.   Biggest differences are the rails and retaining clamps, and of course the spring attached to the cover itself.     NOTE - if you are upgrading from a MX4 to the EZ-Lift, you will have to replace the rails.  The EZ-Lift rails have a notch cut in them to allow the new style retaining clamps to fit properly.  The new retaining clamps also have 2 knobs/carriage bolts and there are two tracks underneath the front panel. The strap clips are mildly different (more like the Undercover Flex clamps) in that the screws go in from the underside.  Personally I prefer these over the BAK clamps that use the nutserts that are a nuisance to install.  The remainder of the parts in the box (drain tubes, rail clamps, and bumper pads) are standard issue BAK.     I did not replace my front bed seal at the time because it seemed to be in decent shape.   BAK recommends shims on the GM trucks unless you place the clamps on the flanges about 1/3 of the way in from both the front and rear of the bed.  I shimmed the front and the middle, and initially placed the clamps equidistant.  This also turned out to be a mistake, because when I set the cover in place, the new style retaining clamps wouldn't clear the front clamp.   New style clamp inserted in the track:     And the issue which occurred because the front rail clamp was too far forward:     Once I removed the shim from the front of the bed, and slid the clamp back to the front flange, everything cleared fine.     The cover set on the rails without issue and I installed the strap clamps.  After I completed my adjustments, I pulled the pin to activate the torsion spring.  Mistake #3 on my part.  PULL THE PIN AS THE VERY VERY VERY LAST STEP!  The reason is, once you pull the pin, the torsion spring is activated.  If you have to loosen the front clamps and adjust the cover, the front panel will - by virtue of the spring, refuse to lay down.  The only way to get it to lay down so you can reinstall and tighten the clamps is to fully open the panel against the back of the cab, which will then allow the front panel of the cover to lay down and be tightened.  Not a big deal unless you haven't installed the foam pads yet (typically the last step) because minus the foam pads, you will need to place something between the frame of the cover and the back window so it doesn't get scratched.  The next time I install one I will install the foam pads before I pull the pin and activate the spring.   After using it for a few days:   The spring assist is great.  You literally can open it with one hand.  My shoulders aren't getting any younger and this was part of my motivation to swap out. The second panel latches and unlatches itself as you open and close the cover.  Neat in concept, however it took me a minute to get used to closing the cover and not hearing the "latching" sound that would tell me it was locked in place. The paddle handles are a huge upgrade and I wouldn't be surprised to see them become the standard across the Realtruck line.  They effectively eliminate the concern that a thief could coat hanger the cover open and get to the contents in the bed. I'm not sure why the very front panel on my cover has a different finish from the other 3 panels.  I have a request into Realtruck to find out if mine was not manufactured properly or if it was by design.   All in all I'm pleased.  Same level of protection, looks good, keeps stuff mostly dry (they all leak around the tailgate) and easy to install.
