Today I took off the bottom part of the front skirt and finally installed my LED lights in the truck bed under my Backflip.

Today, my son and I gassed it up, fixed my fill tube, and drove up to Tehachapi to return a few things, that I no longer needed.  Unfortunately, I'll have to go up there AGAIN, later this week, Radio Shack was closed.  :mad:   Next time I'm at ACE, I'll get the specs for the bolt/nut.  When I picked them up, I almost bought "chrome" ones, but then caught a glimpse of these a couple sections over. 

 

My son ran the nut down, in this case up, the bolt from under the bed.  We then switched places, so I could make sure that the nut was on there good and tight.  Survived our 80+ mile trip to Tehachapi, from Edwards AFB, and back to the house.

A few weeks ago, I was filling up and noticed that another Silverado owner, from Florida, had the same issue.  He was reinstalling his broken plastic fastener, when he was done filling up, just like I was repeatedly doing, until today.

What was the original problem? From what I'm reading, the fix is only a bolt? I'm just curious, I was going you had a solution to the capless fuel tank. I've done some research on it, I think I have a solution, it's just on the back burner for now...

I actually bought the bed lighting kit from GM as I had a $100 off coupon. I just used the wiring harness from the kit and then bought some led waterproof lights from amazon. I cut off the ends from the harness and wired them to one end of the led lighting, so they’ll come on with the cargo light switch.

Nowhere did I mention "capless."  There is at least one other thread for that, in the modifications forum. 

 

The fill tube housing is held in place, at the bed, by a flimsy plastic "fastener."  You can see the bolt that I installed, just inside the fuel door.  One of the expansion parts of the fastener broke, back in September, on my way back from San Diego, and I've been just reinserting it until yesterday.

What do you mean lip wheel? The specs are in my signature, 20x9 Fuel Vandal's wrapped with 285/55R20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers.

Finally got my ProClip IPad Mount put in. Used a RAM mount to extend it out to have more adjustability. Snaps on and off so i can take it off if i have a passenger riding with me. Also pictured is the ProClip mount for my phone as well.

Smoked my driving lights, amber turn signals, amber corner markers, and fogs with VHT nightshades. Blacked out my bowtie, Z71 emblem, and chrome bumper valance with plastidip.

Looks great! Did you just spray onto the headlights or did you open them up?

Night and day difference man. Looks amazing. I really wish I could get away with that.

Heading to the dealer this afternoon to install the GM accessories navigation upgrade cable. It’s supposed to convert my radio from an IO5 to IO6. One of my irritants with my truck is that it didn’t come with factory Nav, and doesn’t have apple CarPlay so I’ve been stuck using my phone. I’m trying the GM accessory cable because it’s about $600 cheaper than if the dealer brought in York Eectronics to do whatever it is they do to upgrade to navigation.

Opened them up.. a much better look imo than spraying the lense cover.

I hope your dealer knows what he is talking about but that doesn't sound right to me.  To upgrade to NAV you usually need a few cables, a new HMI module, and possibly a GPS antenna.  Here is the only GM kit I am aware of:
