So what does everybody think about putting camo trim and accessories on a truck. I've already got the hood shield and window vents. Next iI'm getting the fender flares and quarter panel trim kits from Cabela's.

hey man a truck is an expression of yourself. If you love to hunt, fish, what have you, do what YOU think looks good. If you like it go for it.

 

and in my opinion OH YEAH Camo all the way.

Totally agree, you own it, so do whatever you want with it. Anybody whose doesn't like it can just go fork themselves.

Classy and camo are two words that I don't think should ever be together in the same statement :D

 

That said...I think it looks great on trucks, and while you won't see it on mine, I'll comment positively on others with it. Bush yo' ride up if that's your thing! :cheers:

If you want it on there, go for it. I've seen several trucks around here with camo on the bottom part, and it looks pretty d@mn good.

Thanks for all everyones thoughts. I'm gonna put it on my truck regardless just because so many of the guys in my unit and my wife think it's the cheesiest, tackiest thing in the world. I was just curious if anybody had camo accents on their truck. :cheers:

Personally I think it's tacky... but to each his own.

 

I think the key is being conservative... a couple details looks fine, but widespread cammo is going to be an eyesore.

i think it looks good on some trucks ... like a 2 tone white and tan truck looks awesome with camo or just a white truck ... but i saw someone that did it with like a blue truck ... thats just stupid. it looked ugly but it's his truck

You think that's redneck? There is a guy around here who has a cammo paint job on his old daily driven Chevy Blazer. It literally looks like the Mossy Oak company stole his truck for a few days. :D Go for it, if you like it you like it! I think cammo accessories look good on some trucks.

There are a few people around here with the whole truck done.

 

I think people call them "Marines" or something like that.

i think it all depends on how it is done... it can be done to look tacky in some cases or classy in others

Saw another one today and wondered how the heck does a truck get that dirty only at the bottom and around the wheel wells plus the front of the hood and above the windows yet be shiney white everywhere else? Then I realize it's not dirt but camo and think. Do I want my truck to look dirty while shining in the sun? Of course this all just one little ole opinion.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By revmanii · Posted

      So, lot's of googling and reading, and a trial fit found, that indeed they hit the newer fatter caliper. I did some re-testing today, and found just 3/16" worth of washers was enough for the wheel to spin freely. I added 2 more on each, and again it spun freely. Tested lock to lock with the 4 washers, about 5/16" not quite the 3/8" Im considering, but pretty close. No issues. I've been looking at the BORA .375" spacers and using extended lugnuts to get back lost thread due to the spacer. All the ET lugs I've seen are all .33" reach inside the wheel lug holes. For those that don't like spacers or think they're unsafe, I think it depends on what type of spacers you're using and making sure you get good quality hubcentric ones, and if you're using bolt on ones, regular mainenance, checking the spacer lugs. Not wanting or needing that much spread. Looking for the minimum that will let me run these rims and tires.  it does look to stick out a little, but I really want put these on. and use the stock all-terrains in the winter.
