Somebody probably had their impact set on kill when they were put on. Plus the rust and corrosion. Just glad you got them off without breaking any studs!

I trimmed about 1 1/2 inches off the bottom of mine. I think I should've went maybe another 1/8 or so more.
I ran an oiled k&n in mine for awhile and never had any issues, fortunately.Swapped out a pretty clean fram filter for a k&n panel.

2 miles later I immediately get the infamous check engine light
Only lightly oiled one side, the dirty side. Might take it out and clean it and run it dry, should be OK ?View attachment 181592

Wouldn't surprise me. Bunch of morons that work on tires up here. I gotta baby sit people. Went to 3 different shops to have my Nissan wheels installed. Every single one of them said they can't do it because I drive a Chevy truck and the wheels are for a Nissan truck. Lost a sale plus I was buying tires at the time. Found some tires at one place then had another put them on the rims. Then another to install them.
Anyway yes glad I didn't do any damage. At least now I have gm wheels on a gm lol

Cleaned up the wheels to be sold the next day. They went back to their home on a Nissan titan.
Was bittersweet , had these for 2 years. Won't be known as the guy with the Nissan wheels anymore. I personally love how they looked and they drove great.
All that's left are the center caps i made lol. Which actually held up great for being home made.

Did this same thing on my Silverado with the 3 piece 6.0 cover and planned to do it to this one too.
Took my 5.3 cover and trimmed it to fit the 6.0 side covers so it doesn't look like im reppin a 6.0 , which everyone assumes when I pop the hood
So no more vortec 6000, now just vortec

Hated having the switch for my underglow down at the bottom of the dash and decided to make a switch in place of the rear wiper button.
Used a face plate from a Silverado with and cut out a hole for a simple aftermarket switch. Used the same insides of our switch but gutted out the wiper button to make room for the different switch. I over cut the hole slightly you can see in the pics but it's not too bad and I can love with it. Later I'll grab another face plate and play with it more .

Also took out the outdated cigarette outlet and put in a dual usb ports for charging only. Still have my custom cigarette outlet in center console for random accessories.

Looks good. How about another fog light switch adapted to the wiper switch body or even the switch from a silvy bed light? Just throwing ideas at you if youre going to junkyard for parts again.

Tried on black turn signal lights again with the HD grille. Didn't like em. 
Got a 4.5" resonated exhaust tip. Need to get it welded on when I find the muffler I want.
