Added letters to the embossed tailgate on my trail boss custom, yay or na?

Did it a few months ago. It’s subtle to say the least, but in the right light it pops.

I installed the letters from bdtrims.com  They are very good quality. I ordered Domed style and in chrome.  https://www.bdtrims.com/letter_inserts/Chevrolet_letter_Inserts/Tailgate-Plastic-L

I went with Black w/ Red Outlined Tailgate decals for my Black RST.  (A friend at work did all red letters and I wanted to do something different since our trucks are almost identical)

 

I think it's much better than stock but more subtle than all red.

Love that look, I'd love to find something matching the Cajun Red with black outlines, just the opposite of what you have for mine.

That would be nice! I was just thinking the same thing, but I went with the blackout flag ones.

I still need to wash the truck and install them.

bdtrims.com says they can make any color combo you like.. Check out the site and tell them what you are looking for..

Just bought some matte black BDTrims letters on Amazon (not Prime, though. ?). 

 

I think they're going to look great on my Satin Steel RST, but I'm still a little hesitant. I'll tape them up first to see if I want to go ahead and adhere them. 

 

I think adding these is going to make my chrome "Silverado" and "RST" pop out more, though. I guess those will be the next black-out mods... then the chrome dual exhaust tips... then the front chrome Z71 badges... Lol

$40 is $40. If I don't like them, I can send them back to Amazon and get that $ back to put towards my upcoming Rancho replacement, once Bilstein gets their act together and finally releases the 5100. ?

Paranoia.  I've wondered this myself for years.  They don't want us to know their plate number because they think we have a spy in the DMV who can run the number and give us their address.  Hundreds of folks on the road see it everyday so that theory don't hold water.  If they are showing details of the belongings in their garage, I guess I get it....but pics of just the truck, no.  What it amounts to is one person started doing this long ago and now most of the internet followed suit (think lemmings) thinking it must be a good idea.

OR... there's some of us who like to keep our levels of online identity private. E.g. you know me as Econometrics, and I live in Texas. But, what if I shared a pic with my truck and license plate? Now you can go back and connect my face with my postings online, along with other comments I have made if you ever see my truck driving around town, or run into me somewhere. 

 

Some of us just have a higher desire for privacy. We're not worried about you stealing our trucks or shovels. ?

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.

      from another thread   Update...although the truck sometimes seems to idle weird and the transmission shift a little weird, I've driven about 7,000  miles and no issues.   However, the way GM has handled my rental reimbursement, the situation when my truck quit, and the recall in general has led me to this point...I have driven a GM vehicle for the past 46 years and unless I buy a C3 Corvette, this is the last GM vehicle I will ever own.
