We have an Amazon wherehouse in Hawaii? If so it's news to me. Quite a few of us Hawaii peeps in this forum. Nice to see not everyone buying Tacomas. emoji38.png

My guess is from the Amazon warehouse in Hawaii, where the package got damaged on shipping to the island and the original customer refused them.  Lucky guy!

 

I just got lucky. I believe there was one more on Amazon Warehouse and someone else likely bought it. I also bought a bedrug (just the flat bottom custom fit piece) for about $40 less with free shipping too. Still waiting for this to come in. They also have Tonneau covers for cheap, but they don't ship those to Hawaii.

Mods I have made since I purchased my truck are:

1. 6" steps (OEM)

2. All-weather Chevy floor-mats (front and back) 

3. Line-X spray-in bedliner

4. Replaced antenna with a Metra 7" shorty antenna (purchased at Advance Auto Parts)

5. Removed the dealership badge from the tailgate

 

I really like all of the updates/mods.  I don't have a favorite mod at this point.  For all considering replacing the long antenna, the Metra antenna I purchased at Advance Auto Parts receives all of the channels so far with no noticeable difference.  I haven't travelled far out of my area yet, so my opinion may change.  I had to return the first antenna I purchased because the base was too large to screw onto the receiving antenna screw (so be careful with the size of the base on these).

 

Mods to do:

1. Towing package

2. Tonneau cover (leaning toward the rollup Gator cover mainly because of the price)

3. Possibly the CHEVROLET inserts/stickers on the tailgate.

 

I washed it yesterday for the first time, and cleaned out the interior.  Will get it waxed before winter gets here.

Added 2" motofab upper spacer in front, 1.5 rear.  Rear shock extension to keep them at stock length(ish).

I went but didn't see too much I wanted except some wheels I might pick up later. Here's a pic. 6e4b4a1628bd1010181e75f874c21a5e.jpg

Same boat as u, I have a friend who has a LTZ with 24" reps wrapped with 295/35 dropped on 3/5 IHC kit. Beautiful stance, I'd also go with it if it wasnt my daily. As far as loading people in the cab and bed, he mentioned once it reaches above 25 psi in the air bags it gets pretty stiff. Waiting on what 2/4 kits come out.

Set of custom made 10mm hub centric and wheel centric spacers finally came in and installed. Eliminated my steering wheel shake between 50-60mph.

I will be going to SEMA next week. Hopefully I can get some insight from belltech. I’ll keep you posted.

Took my T1 to the hunting camp today. FINALLY got to use my truck, in its element. 4wd and (surprisingly) the auto-lock rear diff really impressed me

today. I love this truck more and more!

 

PS: I feel like this should be a magazine ad or something. This truck looks SO dang good to me!

    • Yeah I don’t leave ANYTHING just sitting supposedly maintaining my battery on a vehicle or RV for multiday periods. I connect a charger as needed to provide a full charge, then disconnect it and either monitor the battery or follow a set schedule for periodic charging. 
    • Get the 5.3. I`m not a Ford guy.😉   I think these L84`s are less problematic than the L83`s. Certainly less than the L87.
    • I have finally paid off my mortgage and can now purchase a new truck. I would greatly appreciate any opinions on the purchase of a new 2026 GMC Denali 5.3L or 6.2L with the Denali reserve package. I am not interested in the 3.0L.  Or should I go buy a Ford?   Thank, John
    • One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...
    • 'GMAuthority' is reporting the 2027 HD's will have the L8S 6.6L gasoline V-8.  There was some talk here about the L8S awhile back.  Not sure what changes it will have now as it seems the 2027 emissions regulations have changed from what was originally proposed.  The big question will be is L8S just a stopgap for the last 2 years of the current T1 HD platform or will it carry forward to the next generation 2029 T1-2 HD's?    I assume the L8S will still be a Gen. V engine.
