    Building up the GMT800 Forum

    Yeah well if that is the case, I’ve been here since 2014 and am working on upping my post count. 21 posts to go.

    Might be a difference between the laptop and the mobile app. Either I’m blind (which is a possibility) or mobile app is a basic version (which I have run across before). I’m not seeing it on my phone. I’ll check the full version later.

    Substitute mirrors for tow mirrors?

    And those just pop on when you need them and pop off and store in a bag when not needed.

    Substitute mirrors for tow mirrors?

    I think this is the only picture I could find with the towing mirrors installed.

    I went looking for it and didn’t see it.

    Substitute mirrors for tow mirrors?

    I’ve got a pic somewhere of mine installed when I pulled a travel trailer. I sold the travel trailer but still have the mirrors. I liked the K Source better than any out there.

    Substitute mirrors for tow mirrors?

    I’m not a fan of the double arm tow mirrors. Every set I’ve seen the mirrors tilt up; they are never flat.

    Substitute mirrors for tow mirrors?

    3 hole pattern should be the same a normal truck like mine. I do have a set of snap on tow mirrors on the off chance I have to pull something wide. If I remember correctly, mine came from Jegs.

    4silverado's 2004 Silverado

    After using the back up camera for a while, seeing anything behind the truck at night was not good. I’d been having issues the tag lights not staying in place (tabs broke); these were probably the originals. Ordered the LEDs off of Amazon and talk about a night and day difference. The light...

    Tonneau is a Smittybilt Smart Cover, it uses something similar to marine grade vinyl . I wasn’t sure I was going to like it but it seems to be holding up well. It was on clearance and cheap for a tri-fold. I wanted to show how the pocket covers work with it.

    4silverado's 2004 Silverado

    I’ve had this one since September 2016. I totaled an 03 Silverado and wanted the same truck series as a replacement. I’ve owned 4 of these: 02 Silverado 2WD 5.3, 04 Silverado Z71 5.3, 03 Silverado 2wd 5.3, and this 04 Silverado 2wd 4.8. Better to stick with what you know. I bought it when it had...

    I color matched a set of stake pocket covers. I think these were $7 at Summit Racing, 4 in the package. I run a tonneau cover and these help hide the holes.

    Howdy from Washington State!

    Welcome from Kentucky. Know what you mean on rust. My 04 was originally from Florida so I’m keeping an eye on things before Kentucky winters start causing the rot.

    4silverado's 2004 Silverado

    8/28/2024. I'd been dealing with what I thought was a frozen left front caliper. Brake would lock up to the point that I swore you could light a match off of the rim. Replaced the caliper and it was fine for about a week. Then it came back. Ended up replacing both front brake lines. Haven't had...

    Last few updates to the grill was freshening up the bowtie. Ended up finding a billet grill at a local flea market.

    4silverado's 2004 Silverado

    Kid had to go back to Germany end of May. Before he left, he ordered a new rad cover and a black grill off of Amazon. Again, no paint booth; I use whatever happens to be available ... in this case some dog chain and a shepherd's hook. I got a light coat of the red on it and ran out of paint. I...

    4silverado's 2004 Silverado

    Fast forward to the kids spring break / April 2024. I took him to Outer Banks, NC (my folks are a few hours away from there). I got to playing around on Facebook Marketplace just to see what I could find around I40 from Tennessee to eastern North Carolina and found another hood outside of...

    4silverado's 2004 Silverado

    I figured I'd run the old stuff and get the spare painted, but through a fluke, I found another hood.

    4silverado's 2004 Silverado

    He called me the night it happened. We went over to check it out. For most part, it was all cosmetic. Hood, bumper, rad cover, grill, right headlight bracket bent / cracked. As luck had it, I found an 05 that was being parted out 20 minutes away. We got a hood, grill, bumper with top pad, right...

    4silverado's 2004 Silverado

    It's obvious I hadn't entered anything new into my build thread. That nice hood above got destroyed due to a ... well let's say a distracted driver sometime late 2023. I had a exchange student with us for a little over a year. We loaned him my red truck to drive to school. Our local Walmart has...
