I used my GMC as a so called daily and airport vehicle when I travel. I purchased a 2026 BMW X5 sDrive40i. Living in the Houston area, I don’t need AWD, and instead used the money saved towards the options I really wanted. Also, less/cheaper maintenance with 2wd. I got 12% off msrp, so happy...

A handful of engines ate plugs, which created the failure over an internal failure, ie crank or lifter failure. On the L87 comment, I had a 2022 GMC AT4 with this engine. I proactively switched to Supercar 0w-40 from 0w-20 and it got quieter. Oil pressure was improved under all temps. After it...

Can’t wait to see the ADM on that price. For that price, I’ll keep my 2022 and could buy two more new 5BW’s! Can’t wait to see what they bring at Barrett, lol.

like @1Evil55, I guess Rift counts as white 😁, so here’s mine with clear reflectors and amber leds for prospective

On a 5BW, the ZL1Addons pinch weld adapters will most likely touch the plastic portion of the rockers, but I found no need to trim. That portion is the inner part of the two piece rockers. It can flex without hurting the outer painted or CF rocker. I put a red square around the inner rocker...

You’re not wearing your seatbelt?

That oil had roughly 400 miles of use this time. The 5BW is not my daily driver and I change the oil annually regardless of the miles due to short trips lately and to keep the oil fresh. When I drained it recently, I could smell the increase of raw fuel from the short trips. This car has less...

I did coat it myself over 3 yrs ago using GTECHNIQ Crystal Serum Light, topped with GTECHNIQ EXO on everything, less the glass. I polished the glass and installed GTECHNIQ G1 Clear Vision. Everything is holding up quite well, but the car is garage kept, so expected to last. The expensive cost...

I use the 67” Race Ramps with 10” of lift, no issue with a good filter wrench. I also add oil absorbing pads on the cross bar mentioned to catch any drips. I’ve change my oil 4 times thus far with no problems.

Here’s my car being foamed with soap and it’s struggling to stay on the car due to the ceramic coating and glass coating, lol.

I bought DI-Pro-100 from RV Mods. At the time, it was the best value. There are other brands that are similar. It’s work well. It’s heavy because it is the size of a large oxygen tank. The DI media is almost 50lbs alone. https://rv-mods.com/store/DI-Pro-100-Compact-p140941079 The small dolly...

You’re correct, a DI system is what you need to help avoid water spots when you have hard water. I’ve been using a 1cf DI filter mounted on a dolly that I roll out to hook up to my Kranzle electric pressure washer. I used this set up since April 2021 on white to black vehicles with zero water...

I wish I had a high ceiling like you have so I could install a lift. Still my favorite is the one hiding under the cover!! She’s a beauty!!

She had a gum disease requiring teeth removal to save her life. It was uncovered during her second vet visit and scared the hell out of us. We spent the $$ for the surgery to save her live and don’t regret it! She swallows her hard food when she eats her prescription food. When she sleeps, her...

We have two rescue cats, a 10 y/o calico girl that recently had a UTI as well. After blood tests, shots, etc. she rebound fast. She had all her teeth removed before she turned 1 y/o. She is healthy otherwise at 12 lbs. We have a 1.5 y/o big boy (height & length) weighing 25.6 lbs from recent...
