Here are some pics of the new NFAB Side Bars, Tonno III, and Patriotic Decals..... I love the truck "CLEAN" - so any suggestions that fall along those lines will be much appreciated.... Hopefully -It'll force you all to put your thinking caps on. No - the sky has a limit.... within reason.

Beautiful truck Patrick! I agree, the carbon fiber tailights look

great. I like them better than the chrome ones. I also like the "clean" look. How about a "rounded" type visor? I always thought they added to the looks of a truck.  Rich

Patrick, lovin the NFABs and I love the Z-71 decal!  Looks great!

 

My suggestions?  I would say the next thing would be the grille guard, but you have the nice Billet Grill!

 

Tough call... maybe headers or something?

 

Regardless, great rig! :thumbs:

Thanks for all the great comments. The Clear Headlights sounds like a winner. Thought about the front Brush Guard- but havent seen one I really fell in love with yet. Also, I do like the billet and am not sure I want to hide it. Have you guys put in the Xenon bulds? I hear they are awesome, but Autostock.com has some that look like it and are much brighter than stock but not quite the Xenon....

 

Thanks again guys.

 

Ah what to do what to do??????

Nice Truck  :thumbs:

 

Love those NFAB bars and Carbon Fiber tails.

 

Clear corners are a great idea. Have you considered removing those emblems from the tailgate and the body side moldings?

Nice.  Love the decal and Step Bars.

 

Clear corners would look really good on it.  The ones I got from ProCarParts.com came with all the bulbs needed.  I'm sure most other places will as well.

 

One of these light bars would look good.

Pro Comp Light bar

 

Someone makes a bigger (wider) Pre-Runner type bar, but I can't think off hand who it is.  Maybe someone else will remember.  :thumbs:

Great Suggestion GMCJOE- BTW, took a look at your pics and you have a very sweet ride.... Love the Grill. Which Clear Lenses did you use for the front?

 

Thanks- Patrick

N-FAB, the makers of the Side bars make one that's wider and holds 3 lights. It's pretty sweet- but I'm not sure if it would be too much. I do like the PrComp one you just posted. Still looks really clean.

 

If anyone can remember the site MountaineerTom is speaking of, let me know.

I have a link to a couple kinds somewhere in the 50 million bookmarks I have.  :thumbs:

 

When I find it, I'll post it for you, unless someone else does first.

I bought mine from ebay, it was pacificie.com I believe. Great service, quality product., they came with the amber 'peanut' corner bulbs too.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Disassembly may be Required!   Every blender makes claims but do  you ponder those claims? What was really said? Was it true?  Motive for saying it? What does in infer?  Is that inference true?    Let's do one.    Claim: Made from shear stable base oils.    What was said: Base Oils are shear proof.   Was it true: Yes.  ALL base oils are Newtonian.    Motive / Inference: To imply the fully formulated product is Shear Proof.    Is the Inference true?: Most fully formulated multigrade oils contain Viscosity Modifiers or VM's, sometimes called VII or Viscosity Index Improvers. There are four types. One is in fact shear proof but it also has a bad effect on extreme cold flow and is restricted to use in specialty oils. A second has limited shear called a 0-5 SSI polymer. Meaning its shear is limited to a range of zero to five percent as reported by the ASTM D6278 Shear Stability Index test. A few high end oils, like Torco SR-5, use them and brag about it profusely. Actually all that use it point it out. The last two shear dramatically and are often marketed as a 'feature' of the product aiding the oil to meet fuel standard requirements of ever stricter rules. One shears more than 5% and the other up to 20%. As you make guess, cost is directly linked to shear down and as such the majority of oils use the cheapest organic polymers sold to make grade and pass stringent tests.    PPD's or Pour Point Depressants also shear a bit, only a few percent and hide inside the 0-5 SSI capabilities.    The blender knows he can not out engineer Stribeck. Physics is not a suggestion. But he can wordcraft the unsuspecting toward believing a false claims INFERENCE. This is LEGAL. It is COMMON, and it is EFFECTIVE.

      I don't recall ever dealing with one on an '06 and back. It may not even exist on that. I can't remember for sure.   Any kind of ice in or after the evaporator is normally due to low charge with both a clutch-cycling orifice tube system, and a TXV system.

      HighMileage oils or stay with Dexos 1 ?

      Engines wear. It is unavoidable. So the question isn't if it will wear out but rather WHEN it will wear out. That question is about rate and RATE is a HUGE problem for almost everyone; but not in the way we may think.    Unless there is something drastically wrong with your powertrain, wear is exceedingly slow. It doesn't wear out in minutes or hours or days or months but in years or even decades. Ditto sludge and varnish. Humans are an impatient lot so to see the benefit of a truly superior product you may have to wait a very long time. Most will get bored first and trade before they reap the benefit.   Humans are not companionate creatures when it comes to those we do not know. We don't care what happens to the second or third owner as long as it doesn't happen to us or someone we know and actually like.   Sad commentary on humans but it is what it is. That thus, then, there is no advantage...to or for you if the above paragraphs adequately describe you.    BUT if you are a buy and hold type and patient enough to reap the rewards of your labors then that thing that is happening that you haven't yet seen, but will; can be abated by such products. Seals harden and leak with time and lots of it. Rings stick after thousands of miles of a slowly building plaque of varnish.    Then there is this. This didn't happen over night and this poor fellow knew when he removed the cover and not one second before.   Not "aware' isn't the same thing as "isn't happening".        The above was typical of the Ford 361 and 391 bus motors on Bulk Pennzoil Mineral Oil products on 3K mile OCI's at about 60K miles back in the 60's and 70's at the Anamosa School District when my Uncle took over their maintenance program.    This is Pepper at @ 165K on 5K OCI's using Group IV/V Full Synthetics.      HM oils will help the first but not the second.    Then again if one used..... ah, ya know.....

      Awesome you got it sorted! That's a new potential issue I'll have to mark in my book of issues. Thanks for the feedback.
