Well, it wasn't today but, this weekend and I don't have pics YET but:

Added Havoc HS2 Steps, Truxedo Pro15X Tonneau & WeatherTech Mudflaps...

 

Today I'm going to try to get under the truck and remove the front air dam..


Future plans,

I found a local guy who wants to swap his center console for my jump seat.

Would like to swap in a chrome grille for a look similar to the high country front end.

Front window tint.

Paint protection film on the front end maybe...

Have you looked at what it would take to get the cameras working correctly if swapping to tow mirrors? Thanks

We already offer a solution to that on the website :)

installed the Amp Research manual override switch for the Power Steps. I think it came out pretty good.  Called for a 3/4" drill bit and biggest I have is 1/2" so I made it work lol.

Been contemplating this switch but I get too much joy from yelling at my girlfriend to step on the step so it won’t retract when she shuts the door [emoji23]

Seriously abridged version:

 

Bought truck in early July from dealer in a state I'm not a resident of. Took possession of truck on July 31. Dealership sat on registration and titling paperwork until September (confirmed by state agency that handles the paperwork. Bank is now threatening to increase my interest rate on my loan because they don't have the titling info. I've also had to call the dealership for new temporary tags monthly. I'm now in another state. My state of residency returned paperwork to dealer last week because they didn't submit the forms I gave them in early July. Dealership told me I need to get a VIN verification completed. I've done this in other states before and know it takes a police officer a maximum of 2 minutes to complete. Utah says any police officer anywhere in the country can do this. California police officers say they can't. First police station sent to another, who sent me to another, and so on until I found out at the 5th one I need to schedule an appointment with DMV to get a police officer to sign a form (California once again finding ways to complicated things that don't need to be complicated). Later found out a military police officer can handle the VIN verification and sign the form. This whole ordeal took majority of the day. Hopefully I'll have permanent license plates by Thanksgiving.

Awesome, guess I should have checked there first.

I just went over all that is offered on your web site and didn't see anything mentioning that you are able to get the camera's to work properly when swapped from regular to the tow mirrors on a 2019 model.   I do like the fact that the tap to pass can be lengthened.  To me three blinks just isn't enough but when my trailer is hooked up it does 6 I think which is perfect.  If you can get the camera's to work properly then it looks like I'm going to be getting a set of tow mirrors. :)

That’s the custom VPM programming.

    • Looks tight. Not a lot of working room. Hows yous knuckles?
    • Spot on. The government makes ridiculous mandates, and this causes manufacturers to jump through hoops for every TENTH of a MPG. Main reason quality is in the toilet and prices are in the stratosphere.   The gov't tightened the MPG requirements so much 5 years ago that the only way manufacturers could meet these absolutely ridiculous numbers was to go all EV. Hence the push.     Nobody hates good MPG, Atlas - nobody is "whining". Your side has that trait all locked up. What a stupid argument attempt!   What I particularly hate is the government meddling in the free market system. Had this system been allowed to work as designed and intended by our Founders, cars and trucks would be hitting numbers that would blow our minds, all while costing 30% LESS. Not only that, but engines could probably hit 150k miles again without needing major internal surgery.   My forty year old Ford 302 has 312k on it. Wonder what changed?🤔
    • The BORA 3/8" spacers arrived yesterday along with the extended lug nuts. I got the front wheels changed out today, but was overheated and covered in sweat so bad, I figured getting both front wheels done was a win, and took a cool shower. Hopefully, I'll go out tomorrow morning before it gets into the 80+ temps and do the backs. After getting the first wheel snugged up, I backed out one of the lug nuts then hand turned to count threads. I believe I stopped counting around 12-13, so I think I'm good there.    
    • My fullsize truck is averaging over 26mpg so I'm pretty happy with the increased fuel economy targets. When I had my gas Silverado (2020 5.3) it was averaging 21. Again, for a fullsize truck, that's very different from the 12-15 these things used to get 30 years ago.   Whine all you want, increased MPG is a good thing.
    • That is a fair point, and I think an OBD-first proof is probably the right next step. I agree that the value is not the hardware box by itself. The marketable part would be the software: always-on capture, baseline learning, event reduction, system-specific reports, and alerts. Also agreed that if an OBD device is always plugged in and has local storage, it should not miss the event in the same way that a scanner plugged in after the fact would. The only thing I would not want to assume yet is that an ELM327-class device gives all the late-GM data needed at the rate needed. Standard OBD live data, DTCs, freeze frame, Mode 6, VIN, and calibration information are definitely the right starting point. GDS2 also proves that a lot of useful ECM data can be viewed through the DLC without needing a DTC first. The question I need to test is whether the data needed for a useful GM V8 event report is actually available through the DLC, and at a useful sample rate: - misfire counts / roughness by cylinder - AFM/DFM state - oil pressure and oil temperature - fuel trims - voltage / reset context - U-codes and communication events - calibration / software information - whether these are standard PIDs, enhanced DIDs, Mode 6 data, GDS2-only data, or not available So I think the right benchmark is: 1. Build the OBD-only version first. 2. Keep it plugged in and logging locally. 3. Compare it against GDS2 / freeze frame / HP Tuners or another higher-end logger. 4. Measure which parameters are available and at what update rate. 5. Only justify ECM-side hardware if it captures useful evidence the OBD version cannot. So you may be right: the consumer product might simply be an always-plugged-in OBD event recorder with much better reporting. A question for you: when you say ELM327 devices can already deliver all the data needed, do you mean generic OBD Mode 01 data only, or GM enhanced data as well? For a useful GM V8 report, would generic OBD data be enough, or would you expect the tool to include enhanced items like misfire by cylinder, AFM/DFM state, oil pressure/oil temp, U-codes, and calibration information?
