I agree, the NBS trucks look goofy with no side moldings but that's my opinion. Actually I would like to take my side moldings off and install the All-Terrain side moldings which have chrome trim.

I like them WITH moldings myself. Of course it is your truck.

 

If you insist on taking them off... just grab one end and pull it off. Then remove any double-sided tape that remains, wax and you'll be good to go. Helps if you park the side you are removing in direct sun for an hour or so before removing. It'll come off easier and leave less residue.

 

Unless your truck has been repainted, the paint should be just fine.

That's how it's done. My thumbs are still sore from yesterday, and I only did the passenger side (yes, my trucks's lopsided right now... :lol: )

The doors on the GMT-900 appear to be big flat pieces of sheet metal.

Very true. The GMT800 trucks had much better side styling IMO. At least there was some shape. The new trucks are slab sided in the door area.

      Gas Prices

      I understand that. The price is what it is, though. The price is what oil costs today, where our choices have led us, where supply is, and where demand is, in the market that is. Speculation is for futures, what we think the price will be, but with incomplete information at the time the price is forecast. I know you know this, but you appear to be intent on making a secondary point here about what you think the market could or should be, if only other choices.   In 1975 it became illegal to export US Crude. I'm conflicted on what the best answer is. Free markets allow export in pursuit of profit. But there is also a lot to gain by producing and consuming our own oil here. How do you reconcile it?

      That sir is a choice. And even if it were not for all the reasons stated, this disruption has zero to do with the reality of the actual logistics and everything to do with the greed of SPECULATION. Spot price is irrelevant to reality.

      What I think you're saying is there is supply here at home, and in Venezuela, and we could ease pricing if only it were favorable to do so.   Well, yes?   But that's not the current market. Supply isn't what could someday exist, if only, it's what producers are willing to produce and sell at a certain price point.   The national price of single family homes would come way down if we'd just slap together a few million homes this summer.   RAM and GPUs would get a lot cheaper if we just set up some factories to produce a bunch more and stopped using it to build out AI data centers.

      The turn signal/multifunction switch is faulty.  I've seen a few of these go bad at work.
