Installed the rear fender well covers.  Easy install and looks better, though I doubt the covers do much for protection.

First paint correction and seal on the AT4 now that winter is over. This blue looks even better after a clay/polish/seal.

Are those stock 20s? If so what tire are you running and is it leveled?

Installed Go Rhino RB20s...installed them backwards with the wider part at the rear.

 

Earlier in  the day, had suntek protection film installed on the front bumper and 18" on the front hood.

Tried that here in Iowa with my eye doctor. He told me it doesn't work. Wish it did, but the law is the law. They can void it whether he signs it or not. 

Here in Michigan, to our have to take the prescription in and have a medical endorsement put on your license, like they do for prescription lenses. Then you can't really legally drive a vehicle that is not tinted.

My tints have been illegal when I lived in Chicago suburbs, Chicago, and Louisville and I have never had an issue.  20% all the way around with a front strip on the last 5 vehicles my wife and I have owned.  The BMW dealer even put the illegal 20% on mine before I picked it up.

When I lived in South Dakota,  Nebraska,  and Las Vegas...all my vehicles were 5% all the way around and never had a issue.  Iowa though has very strict tint laws.  Not supposed to have anything on front windows (70%).  So when I moved here I got 2 tickets for 5% and 1 ticket for 20%.  $500 later I said heck with it and put 30% on fronts and they haven't bothered me yet.  U can see into it a little and they dont mind it.   I mainly want it for heat rejection.  It's amazing how much heat tint keeps out

Not telling anybody what they can or can't do to their truck. Just comparing to another states law. Somebody unlucky enough to get picked out of the crowd, this'll be what they get told.

Just coming from my tint shop where I just got mine done, the rep stated it's not the % that reduces the temperature it's the quality of the product. He stated that putting even a 70% XPEL PLUS that has a 98% reduction in heat will reduce the temperature dramatically. So for those states that are very strict on tint laws, there are still options for heat reduction without having to go without tint. I personally like the privacy and went 5% on the back three, legal driver and passenger, and then 70% windshield with 5% strip.

You are correct. My buddy owns a tint shop. It always amazes me how he puts it on without any hairs, dirt, or blemishes in it.  He is truly a master at his profession. 

And front windshields are illegal in any state no matter what percent you put on it.  I used to put 30% on mine.  You could stand in front of the hood and not see in.  it was awesome 

 

Post a pic of your tinted rig.  Would live to see it...congrats.

Utah allows 70% on the windshield, and honestly it looks like a clear sticker on it, no color whatsoever.

Joining the tint conversation...I put 15% on front to match the back and 50% on windshield. It’s fantastic in the sun and heat, and I love the privacy.   The downside....it’s dark as hell without the sun.  Country roads and early morning boat ramps can be sketchy.  Nothing a floodlight can’t remedy.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
