Got the color matched Bowtie, tailgate handle and upgraded DL3 mirrors with Pgamboa DIY kit installed this weekend.

Currently getting the taillights tinted and hopefully ordering some new rims this week.

I'm about 95% sure I'm going with KMC 704 in matte black. 22 in the front and 24 in the rear. And Pirelli tires. 255/35-22 and 275/30-24

Truck is looking killer. How do you like the intake?

Thank you. I love the intake. I've been using Spectre products for years. Great bang for the buck. They're just over 150 on amazon. Fit perfectly.

How do you like the wheel skins? Where did you get the center caps? I am thinking about trying the skins until I get some different wheels. Truck is looking good!

The wheel skins are decent. My only complaint is you see the edge of stock rim by the tire. Other than that they fit really well and I've had several compliments on them. Center caps are stock GM I got on eBay.

Ok thanks for getting back to me. I have been looking at them for awhile just didn't know if they would look cheesy

Just got my custom 2 piece driveshaft conversion in yesterday.  Gonna try and get it and my helper bags put in this weekend weather permitting.Will be nice to be able to haul stuff again and also not destroy the driveshaft on the cross-member every damn bump.

nice truck... do you have any picture of that custom docking console for your S8?

Thanks. I don't currently.  I just did a center console swap last week.  I still have the parts in my garage.  I'll take a few pics and post them.

    • Even tougher is the 5.0 / 302. That's what this one has.    https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   https://postimg.cc/4n3F3yzY   Just realized I had the airbox removed in the engine pic, lol.
    • Yep! This should be a pin somewhere as @pgamboa really dives into all of this. Thanks for reposting the link!
    • I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.       
    • Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.  
    • I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.
