    82 Sierra Grill alternatives

    So that Chevy grille I glued the GMC emblem onto is actually a single headlight grille that someone before me glued on the tabs for mounting the inboard running light/turn signals. So you could do something similar very easily

    So that pretty much gets us caught up to where I am now. I've been slowly buying parts to rebuild the front end, it's all original and at 185k miles, I know the minute I crank the bars, stuff will start failing. This week I ordered the last few parts, so I hope to do that next weekend...

    I cannot tell y'all how excited I am about this. Sure, it's still not perfect paint but it looks SO DAMN GOOD now. It's perfect for a daily. Can't wait for the next round of mods

    I know I'm beating this like a rented mule but I just can't get over the difference in this paint! I've been kinda bummed on the truck ever since I bought it, worrying that the paint wouldn't clean up. Now I'm STOKED on this truck Can't read the bucket... BAM! So then last weekend I had a...

    Pass front door. Decent reflection, but lack of clarity... Oh yeah, that's what I'm talkin 'bout I even buffed out the chrome in the side trim

    Before on the bedside... After... So this is 2 passes with the CG C4 compound on their orange medium/heavy cut hex pad on a 5" orbital. VERY pleased Pass bedside, you can see all the haze and branch scratches. This is how the whole truck looked... Driver's side after 2 rounds of the...

    Here's some close up shots to show you the paint on the sides of the truck. Hard water spots, swirls, scratches galore. I had 2 different Chemical Guys compounds in my arsenal (these are from before CG stuff started to go downhill, once these are gone I'll get getting some other stuff from our...

    We ran out of time on Saturday to finish her truck so we came back on Sunday to finish up the last side and while we were waiting on the wax to set up, I grabbed the buffer and hit my hood real quick. You can see how much brighter it is than the fender Well, since I got started and already...

    So about 3 weeks ago, we finally had a whole weekend with no plans at all. I've been promising I'd show her how/help her to clay bar and wax her truck. It's a silver '21 F150 she bought new and it's never been coated, but it's been mostly garage kept. I needed to do a service on the red truck...

    I had previously mentioned the roof is dead and will need to be painted, here's a better shot of that. At some point just a couple weeks after I bought the truck, I decided to hit the roof quickly with some compound to see how well it would clean up. All I was hoping for was to get it back to...

    Really? If you're willing to travel, check out marketplace in the southeast. When I was looking there were tons of 2wd CCs reasonably priced. And they're typically in better shape since all the yee-yee boys want to squat a 4wd

    After I did that, I ripped out that POS Atoto and wired up the Pioneer. Put it in and every function worked perfectly right out of the box. Shoulda never cheaped out

    Two front 10mil bolts, a few connections and the bottom comes off Ewwwwwww No broken wires or springs, so that's good Cleaned and lubed everything before going back together. Also had stopped by a junkyard a couple weeks prior and scored a new side trim piece. Much better, much more...

    So after that trip to Tybee and back, I decided I couldn't live with the broken down seat bottom foam anymore. Dorman makes a replacement that's a firmer foam than original that I've used before and it fits really nice, so I ordered that and also ordered a Pioneer DMH-W3000NEX to replace that...

    Yep, I know better. I've always used Crutchfield in the past but I was trying to save a few dollars. Amazon had the "correct" harness listed ~$40-50 cheaper, I shoulda known better. Oh well, lesson learned

    Yeah I've used JBL speakers in previous Bose equipped trucks and they worked well. I've also completely ripped out the Bose for a custom setup before. I doubt I'll do that with this truck, just some quality Bose compatible speakers and probably one 10 under the seat will be fine for me now. I...

    You're right! Every one I've owned before this and buddy's trucks have all had the sag. It's an easy adjustment, other than taking a hit, idk how they all get like that

    So then, the day before we're supposed to leave, I decided to tackle the brakes cuz I've had a drum brake "moan" come up the last couple weeks. Figured I'd slap some rotors/pads and shoes on it real quick. Front rotors and pads took 20min a side before work. The LR drum came off fine, the RR...

    So then I got a wild hair up my ass to paint all the black plastic trim on the truck before we left. I'd had my guys order me a case of Krylon Fusion a few months back to use on our trailer and that never ended up happening so I grabbed a can to use on my truck, figured I'd just replace it for...

    The tonneau I went with was a Tyger roll-up. It was like $185 and what sold me on it is that the rails sat on top of the bed rails instead of inside them. I can't tell you how many times I've knocked off those inside rails on friend's trucks when we're loading/unloading stuff. I'm very impressed...

    I guess this puts us right about the second week of August. My bday, the gf's bday and our anniversary all land in August, so we'd booked a condo on Tybee Island for a few days. This had been a rough year, we needed a getaway. I wanted to take this truck to see what kinda mileage it would get on...

    I think that's what this one was. I junked it in favor of a Pioneer. Same thing, I just have the stock Bose setup for now but I ended up hating that Atoto
