Ooo.. Fabtech!.. that's sick. Looks good. I can't wait to eventually get baja kits long travel kit. Going to have to save a bit first..

And i will never use another tire besides either the nitto ridge Grappler or the trail Grappler.

I really wanted to do a long travel suspension. Hopefully one day.

Those look good.  Where did you get them and how much $$?

Good thing he is probably on a Ford Forum and not here, he might take your "neighborly gesture" the wrong way😂🤣🤔😬

"Happy wife, happy life." She's happy, so he's happy. Oh, and he thanked me again this evening. He even offered a beer.

With the left over caliper paint i removed the shroud to the factory off road assist steps and painted a square out on the tube. Once shroud is installed it is a nice pop to the Silverado cut out. Time will tell on how well it holds up but very cheap visual mods overall.

At the suggestion of you guys, I installed LED reverse light bulbs today.

I bought these LASFIT 921 bulbs from amazon for just under $15:  https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B081YL2Q2W

I thought about buying the more expensive ones but since I read here that there was no CANBUS problems with these in our trucks, I just went with the cheaper ones.

 

It was a pretty simple job, with two T15 screws per side.  About a total of ten minutes for the whole job.  The hardest part of the job was getting the thicker LED bulbs into the sockets.

 

Here is the T15 driver and the LEDs that I bought:

Here is the passenger's side bulb installed with the light housing pulled out:

The LEDs were longer than the stock bulbs, but there was plenty of room in the housing, so no problem there.

 

I tested them using the Trailer Light test function from the main screen, since I couldn't put it into reverse and leave it there by myself.  They seem to be much brighter than the stock bulbs, which I'm sure I will be able to tell when I try them at night.

Nothing picture worthy, but I took the boat trailer to town and had the TPMS sensors put in and did a bunch of measuring to setup a trailer profile. Eventually I get to the utility trailer.

No pictures, but used the truck to transport a pinewood derby track from and to storage today since they had their pinewood derby event today. That thing was heavy. It took 4 people to get it into the truck. The case was so long that it went to end of my tailgate with the tailgate down. I have the short bed, but don't think a standard bed would've closed with the case in the bed, unless it was possibly running diagonally across the bed.

    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
