  1. Need everyone's opinion, even if they are negative lol. So I'm looking at either aftermarket replicas or aftermarket with a little more offset than stock. Im stuck between 3 wheels. As you'll see, I don't like anything too busy, just something simple and clean. Here are my choices Sierra All Terrain replicas; I would stick with a 20" wheel and just use my current tires. This is one of two cheaper options http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_id=64452 Dick Cepek DC-2; can't find a pic of them on a k2 truck, but if I went with these I would most likely go to an 18" wheel and have to purchase new tires, etc etc. This would be my most costly option but with a -13mm I think it would set the truck apart, besides the fact that a good bit of jeeps have them from what I see lol http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_id=64453 And last but not least would be Dick Cepek Gunmetal 7's. If I went with these I think they actually look good in my factory 20" and I could reuse my current tires. These have a good offset at +13mm, so it wouldn't stick the tire out past the fender, but close to flush I believe. I have really grown towards them and I can get them to my door for under $900, a tad more than the Sierra reps, by maybe $80 or so http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_id=64454 http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_id=64455 http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_id=64456 In my mind, comparing cost and looks, I think the Gunmetal 7's take the cake. On a black truck I think they look good. I also have always loved the Sierra All Terrain wheels, and those I wouldn't have to worry about any rubbing (don't think the Gunmetal 7 wheels would rub, but the DC-2 wheels with a 33" tire and a -13mm offset may rub on a 2" level). Anyways, y'all shoot your opinions my way!!

  4. I got them off Oznium.com they are called LED bolts, I got the largest size they had for the no lense cool white like, I believe it's like 18mm or so. They are fast too, great customer service. And to pull off the steps just look at the instructions for installing the Anzo bumper step lights
  5. I've only had it back a month or so, but yeah it's holding up great! I've had to put it back in the shop for a few things the adjuster missed (they weren't noticeable until you drove it; bent axle flange, wheel bent) hope to be getting it back soon and in perfect working order! I have a few mods lined up for it once I get it back again!
  6. I think mine is high 20's, maybe low 30's. I tend to idle a lot making phone calls, doing paperwork, jump starting trucks, etc.
  7. Yep Chris nailed it, 17" is smallest you can go (I did a 05+ brake upgrade on my 02, thank goodness I already had 17's). 17" wheel is a great size IMO, when I had 35's and 37's on them they looked great either way
  8. Anything for nieces and nephews haha
  9. Did upper control arms two weeks ago Went with Moog, they are serviceable. Maybe they'll last a little longer
  10. I had DDM tuning ones on my highs, lows, and fogs in my 02. For the price they were awesome and lasted 2 years, bet they are still on there honestly. I could really light up the night especially since they weren't adjusted correctly [emoji16]
  11. VLEDS really knows how to take care of a customer, ordered my HID's Tuesday late afternoon (eastern time) and they came Thursday, now that's fast! Just waiting to get my truck back from the body shop now so I can install them. Can't wait because my headlights are lacking some output
  12. Is that just the next step in figuring out your A/C issue? Or is that going to solve it?
  13. Ordered some Morimoto HID's for my low beams. 25% off over on vleds.com so figured why not? Also going to order cheap LED bulbs for the fog lamps. Just need the color to match, dont expect them to actually put off any decent light. Dropped the truck back off at the body shop yesterday. Said they were going to look at it then contact insurance. I told them that I would go over it with them there and now. The two guys did not seem too thrilled with me lol. I just want it right thats all. If they approve both wheels, which they need to, Im going to just buy the wheels I posted earlier (Sierra All Terrain replicas). Probably still have cash left over. Also ordered a red dot Friday for my new shotgun, ordered a picatanny rail with 6 shell holder today for it to mount the red dot. Got a killer deal compared to the prices I saw online (paid $86 with shipping, retail price is $130)
  14. At first glance I thought you just laid down blue painters tape and cut out stars and stuck em on top lol
  15. The torsion bar crossmember mount ones aren't that bad with a good grinder. They were really soft when I did mine
  16. I'd want it just to run it to 1 million
  17. I paid 320 for a slightly used diablosport i2 tuner in the for sale section, keep an eye out for them
  18. That's funny a few posts back I was just looking at installing them lol. You have more pics of the front door sills? Preferably the driver side?
  19. I keep getting a different story from each person I talk to about who did the adjustment. First I was told the body shop was handling it, called them they said no insurance is sending a rep out and then the bosy shop told me it was some 3rd party adjuster that my insurance company hired. Whoever did it missed some things but I will say that they weren't exactly the most obvious issues either, other issues could have been resolved if the body shop actually test drove the truck afterwards and looked it over thoroughly
  20. Had state Farm on the lifted truck, this truck is through company insurance. They are a pain in the butt to deal with. State Farm was definitely easier considering we had a good relationship with our agent, same with nationwide (old company insurance) but we had been members for over 10 years and they kept raising the rates with no breaks even though we had maybe 1 or 2 claims. Oh well
  21. My cousin was following me somewhere earlier and told me my rear left tire was kind of wobbling going down the road. So I pointed my mirror at it and sure as shit I could see it in my mirror ever so slightly. That's the side that slid into the ditch during my wreck. It's going in on Monday for them to look back over everything bc the adjuster clearly didn't do a good job. Gonna point it out. Maybe I can just collect money on everything they missed, buy my own stuff and put the rest of it in my pocket. Already have a set of wheels picked out for a good price considering I need at least 2 of my current wheels and if they go factory they will add up to the same as a set of 4. Here's a pic, basically an aftermarket look alike of the GMC All Terrain wheels
  22. Saw these as a suggested item while looking at other stuff on amazon, thinking about getting them considering Ive torn up my driver side sill, its all scratched up and what not. Figure this would be a band aid/ fix. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DFPPMX6/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3HTECG9MOUFHH&coliid=I1H8QDZ05AQPZF Or I could always go with the clear bra roll and cut it to my desired width and heighth, hmmmm
  23. They have a higher arch that's all, supposed to keep the factory ride. I would say they would be a bit stiffer considering they have more leafs in them
