New headlights,  billet grill...night view

How far down did you have to take apart the front end for the headlight swap? Was it just the grill and lights that had to be removed or was there fender/bumper involvement? Hoping to do the swap this upcoming weekend. Also where did you mount the load resistors for the gen5DIY harness?

 

Thanks!!

Besides the grill the fender wings need to come off to get the headlights out.  For the load resistors there's holes in the fender behind the light that i used with small bolts. They are in there just enough that u can only see them if your really looking for them.

 

Just take your time, the front of the trucks alot of plastic clips and a few bolts.  Do make sure your lights work before putting it all back together.

Bad ass truck man. I’m going to do that headlight conversion. I believe they have been able to keep the custom grill using the Lt/Ltz headlights.

Thankyou.

 

Not 100% on the grill but it would take mods or spacers etc. They aren't shaped the same on the ends. The custom doesn't have the drl like the lt/ltz.

The readylift just didnt see like it was enough after seeing the 3-3.5 lifts. I purchased a stage 1 icon lift with the coilovers set at 3 inch and a rear 1.5 block with shocks. Plus I used a set of rough country control arms.20191214_121117.thumb.jpg.9e58abd32b354a0f9b308dc2eeed7f05.jpg20191215_113452.thumb.jpg.592e354d8fa48a889f6eba0af7d14338.jpg20191215_131919.thumb.jpg.ce284d290f3772f0c3cad20b0abccf84.jpg

Did you get the rear blocks as part of the kit or separate? Looking for somewhere that just sells the rear blocks standalone

Are you happy with the sidesteps? They look awesome. Assume it was an easy install?

Did you do the mirrors and handles yourself? Have watched a bunch of videos on both and it looks a little risky as to whether you come out okay doing them yourself

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
