WesternMike's Custom 2014 Silverado 1500 WT2 "Western Edition"

Hey everyone, I picked up a 2014 Silverado WT2 a while back and finally getting around to customizing it out now.

 

I'll be looking for ideas as well as posting updates regularly. So please shoot me any and all ideas for this rig.

 

First off, over the last little bit I've added running boards, tonneau cover, front tint, spray in box liner, window visors, mud flaps, custom emblems, 30" light bar in grill, HID highbeam and low beam. Here are some photos of this simple stuff.

 

When purchased:

I got the wheels and tires ordered yesterday.

 

33" Nitto Ridge Grapplers

17" Black Iron Tomahalk Rims

And will be adding a 2.5" level to the front end.

K&N AirCharger 63-3082 already at home waiting to be installed!

I also got crazy lucky and got my hands on the entire leather power heated seats of a 2014 LTZ along with the console for crazy cheap. I'll have the power and heated seats working in my WT2.

 

 

These updates will be installed in 11 days.. as soon as my shift at work ends and I get home.. safe to say I'm stoked to get started on the bigger phases of this build now.

we need photo's of install , when you get them

I'll try to do a video(if not photos for sure) of entire rip out and Install. I couldn't find much info on switching seats over nor am actual video of console swap so there will be both within two weeks.. stoked to get home from this shift to say the least.

I honestly can't remember, I bought this a while back off of eBay. Light is amazing out of it and with the honey comb grill there isn't much light loss at all.

Got the truck levelled 2" today and the new tires and rims put on. Then did the lettering on truck in black and custom bow ties(white inside and black on outside). What do you think so far? This is just the beginning remember!

 

Cold air going in tomorrow then going to muffler shop in two days!

Truck is on the lift as we speak getting dual cat back muffler Install.

 

Waiting on the headers as I will be adding a twin turbo kit to this build in the next year so no sense throwing on headers just to add bigger ones later. Will post photos with sound clips when this phase is done.

Are those 265/70/17 tires, or 285/70/17? I couldn't tell in the picture of the tire if the loops connected or not. Just verifying because you'd stated earlier you got 33", but if they're 265/70 that's technically a 31.65" tire, so closer to the 32" mark

 

Just verifying fitment and such.

Yes, they are the 31's I ended up going with. Just kept a 2" front level.

Need help guys, I can trade website work for a complete vehicle wrap of my truck. I would like some feed back from you all of what color would look killer and be very unique to make truck stand out.

 

So far I've seen and liked his brush metal look. Any other ideas with examples?
