my bumper cover is bolted to the grill and fenders, so any pic you have saw of my truck with the new front end on it has the cover just hanging off the grill....learned this mod from the lightnings. its also how every mustang,camaro and firebird runs when they do a intercooler

That works until you run over it at 160mph. I'd feel much better if the bumper was fiberglass vs urethane.

Incorrect......simple skeleton or in my case tabs off the intercooler mount will secure it

This has been done before, it's nothing new...just new to the Silverado crew

My front bumper is now glass with a simple skeleton and the weight savings was nearly 50 lbs once I cut the frame horns off. But, what I'm saying is I don't trust urethane without sufficient support, it has a tendency to flop around in the breeze.

I was cleaning out my storage today and forgot that I had this. It's the original sliding rear window out of the truck. From what I understand these factory ones are quite expensive. I'll take $150 for it if someone wants to come pick it up from my house. I'm just South of Houston at 288/Beltway 8.

I'm about to pull the trigger on all the **** I need to convert to methanol. I'm going to be putting a ton of **** up for sale to help pay for it. The entire A2W intercooler system, the entire fuel system, the intake manifold with big rails, possibly the headers and possibly the trans cooler set up.

Just letting you guys know so you can get your money ready to help me pay for this ****. lol
