Haha I think we've all been there :) everyone in my family has looked at newer and "better" vehicles, and we keep on ending up just buying more GMT800s a great reliable platform, and there are so many different things you can do with them to make each truck unique unfortunately the sister...- Galandorian

2003 Tahoe LT - Sister's 1st Vehicle [Update 12/8/19 - Pillars + Brush Guard]
the vehicle is currently at my parents house, and my dad has been fixing most of the quality of life things (heated seat not working, window switch, cosmetic interior, etc) the first time I walked in to see it, he already had ripped the bumper off evidently it was rusted through in some spots...- Galandorian

lost another hatch handle today I don't think I even got to use it once before it broke :( I'm thinking now that it has less to do with cheap chinese handles, and more that the vibration is tearing them apart. I haven't had any trucks in the past that were this loud gotta figure out...- Galandorian

yeah it seems people either love or hate these bumpers lol. it's probably my favorite thing about the truck now I traded the crappily built 10" doors for my old 4 8 doors also swapped my SoundQubed HDX318s for Sundown ZV318s ended up losing some bandwidth and dB, so they'll be going back up...- Galandorian

after many more hours of unsuccessful attempts, we finally got it "ish" I say "ish" because we cut out a lot of material from the bumper we didn't need to cut, it isn't perfectly straight, it doesn't line up exactly as it should (see the distance between bumper and fender) and I still need to...- Galandorian

we have the bumper kinda jerry rigged in place now we're going to attempt to cut up that 1999 s10 blazer rear shackle that we had lying around, and use that to drop the bumper 2" from the OEM holes, so that the grille and lights will fit- Galandorian

mine only had 4 18mm bolts total, nothing else. I'll get pics the next time I have the OEM bumper ALL of the videos I watched showed 15mm, but we made damn sure, and mine were definitely 18mm no bolts on the side brackets that I'm aware of...- Galandorian

after many hours of swearing, grinding bolts, WD40-ing rusted out crap, etc we were able to come very close to mounting it up the OEM bumper came off easy enough 4 18MM bolts was all that held it on there however, the new bumper required a lot more clearance we're hoping to have it up and...- Galandorian

I just got frustrated too early on when the permaseal wouldn't come up, so I ended up prying with screwdrivers and breaking off a lot of plastic on the housing. as a result I broke several of the mounting legs and left MASSIVE gaps that I duct taped to close, and prevent water from entering...- Galandorian
