  1. 2014 2LTZ Z71 6.2 3.42. Black leather, split bench, sliding rear glass, sunroof, nav, bed lights, 265/65r18 BFG AT KO. Gm Borla kit and air dam removal to be done soon.
  2. 265/65r18 BFG AT KO's. No level. Got the GM Borla kit in the mail today. Thinking about taking the air dam off.
  3. Fantasized about what I want to do to it today. Ive been sitting here reading this thread looking at all the mods. Here is a pic of when i picked her up in April. I left back to work overseas in May with 1500 miles on it sitting in my garage and an itch to scratch. I plan on a Line-X renew over the crappy Rhino Liner the dealer installed. (I specified Line-X) I had Line-X in my 07 and it was like armor. The Rhino Lining started marring with a small load of firewood on a camping trip. Junk. Either that or pay to have it stripped and Done with regular Line-X. Other mods will be to replace the chrome handles and mirror cap with black plastic, remove the chrome belt molding, a 6.2 badge on the tailgate and remove the air dam. Undecided on Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks for a 1" or 1.5" level, or sticking with the stock suspension setup. I will be replacing the junk Goodyears in either the stock 265/65r18 size or 285/65r18 BF Goodrich AT KO's. I want the snow rating on the tires living around Lake Tahoe. Was on the I-70 a snowstorm around Vail Colorado in my 07 with snow rated KO's and everyone was sliding off the road except me it seemed. I would go with 275/65r18 or 275/70r18 but they do not meet the snow rating. Also undecided on the Exhaust. I would love to go with a kit but leaning towards installing my own semi custom setup in my shop after clamping the flapper open a while to see what kind of drone it produces. The 6.2 is too quiet for the power it produces. A few more weeks and ill be home!
  4. Heres mine. Picked it up on Friday. I wanted an LT but couldn't pass up the 6.2. From there it took a life of its own when I ordered. fully loaded, 6.2 sunroof, sliding rear, black leather, 40/20/40, (I dont like a center console) bed lights trailer package w/ 3.42 rear gear. The biggest disappointment with the truck is somewhere in the ordering process the trailer brake controller was omitted. I think I will be able to learn to live without it. There is a good possibility that it will never be needed. The dealer made good on it with a decent trade in value on my 07 and having the Line X done no charge tomorrow. Edited to add that I went through my first tank of gas. 17.3 mpg average driving between Gardnerville/Carson City/Reno NV area. Thats mixed driving at elevation and I punched it a few times. Very happy with gas mileage with the 6.2 and this truck overall.
