Lol don't let him fool you. Michigan has no snow at the moment unless you're in the UP possibly. Saginaw was 44* today with rain!

We don't have any snow here either... only the northern half of the country and the southern 3/4 lower half of the country but not us in the middle and we're are as far north as the northern half of Canada... Usually we've gotten a proper layer of snow at least once at the end of october but right now it's 45*, normally it would be around 15*.

I guess you painted the grille yourself? How is it holding up and how did you do it? I'm thinking about painting my grille to colormatch but i know from experience that chrome is a pita to get the paint to stick..

I scuffed it up and peeled off what I could of the chrome, cleaned it with rubbing alcohol and put a 2 coats of each color on and then 2-3 coats of clear a few hours after. Holding up alright but stone chips chip it right off. I like it though. The color is a little brighter but looks pretty nice.

Haven been on in a while but the trucks still going strong... Did develop a few problems tho. Exhaust manafold leak, already bought headers, smokes a little on startup every once in a great while, and trans shifts funny 1-2. Last 2 are warranty, just a matter of taking care of it.
