I had them wrapped. A lot of shops wouldn't touch them, said they were too complicated (the Grill).  When I walked in to the last shop and saw the guy wrapping a new McLaren I figured he knew what he was doing.  Eventually I'll probably swap the out for painted bumpers from a wreaked truck.  New bumpers from GM are too expensive right now.   
Nice, buddy of mine is looking to have it done on his, you have any close-ups you'd be willing to post?

Did them myself, Obxman had a write up on it. It’s really easy. Pry ONLY where the red arrow is. There is a tab indicated by the yellow so DO NOT PRY there.  Amazon has every vinyl pattern imaginable. Just read the reviews for a good one. Think I spent $15. 

 The Z71 badges take a lot more work. Wax dental floss them off. Remove all the 3M adhesive. Then you can CAREFULLY remove the red from the chrome. Paint, then reassemble and apply new 3M tape.

Someone asked for a close-up. Also my OE 18” wheels and druatrac tires measured in at 31.5” diameter. These measure in at 32”. I’ll check the speedo with a GPS tomorrow. These ride way firmer, smoother and quieter. They did have trouble getting them balanced, it took them two times.4a8dc10787faf24a522f5925221cec3f.jpg

    • 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.....  
    • 4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps. 
    • 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.
