Well, it was up near 50 degrees today, and I figured if that's warm enough to wear sandals, I should probaly wash the truck too.

 

Took a bunch of pictures. The sun kept going behind the clouds, so the lighting wasn't as good as I would have liked, but whatever.

Awesome, now tint them winders.

 

 

Thanks. I would, but I don't have the money, and I just can't justify the price of the tint. There's things I need a lot more than that.

effin awesome man! Love the way that truck looks. Mud terrains make it look very aggressive.

 

Its too bad I suck at tinting anymore cause I would do it for ya for like $20 all around like I used to for people. I used to be quite good too, but the last time I tried it ( on my Silverado ) I messed up twice, and over cut too much.

Thanks guys. :crackup:

 

I would take you up of that offer Darren, but I mapquested it, and you're over 4 hours away. I'd spend as much in gas as I would if I went to the tint place by me. :crackup:

 

I have some exhaust clips on my youtube account, but I can't post any links since I'm at school, and youtube is blocked. The link to my account is www.youtube.com/2000silverado4x4 .

Hey Dan, what kind of tires are you running? I love the looks and I am going to need to replace mine soon since my rear tires are shot to hell (long story).

I've got the Mickey Thompson MTZ Radial, in a 265/75R16. They're a load range E, so they ride a bit rough, but that doesn't really bother me. They do really well on the road, and even better off road and in snow. There's a little bit of road noise, but nothing the stereo won't cover up. They also throw surprisingly few rocks. I have about 5000 miles on them, and they're just starting to not look brand new anymore.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
