Been browsing the forum for the last few months and finally decided to sign up. I sold my 2006 Trailblazer SS middle of last year and picked up this 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 with the 6.2. So far I've added: 2" Top Gun level kit, Denali grill, color matched mirrors with LED indicators, and front window tint. I have a set of 305 50 20 Nitto Terra Grapplers in the garage waiting to install but still trying to decide if I want to run these rims or get something else. Below are pictures from new to how it sits today.

Welcome and Congrats on the truck. It looks really good. Chrome tow hooks would be a nice accent to compliment the grill

Looks really good! Welcome to the site!

 

H-Town represent!!!! Lol. Welcome aboard and nice truck

 

Welcome aboard

 

 

Thanks guys! Lot's of nice trucks you all have. A couple of stealth gray/blue granite fans too! I will say white was my 1st choice, but the truck got held up at the factory so I bought the stealth gray which I am happy I ended up with.

Thanks! Your 305 50 20s helped me decide on that size tire for my truck. I looked at getting the chrome tow hooks and yours look nice. I ended up with the stock black hooks, which I painted flat black with a textured finish to match the lower valence. I may swap to the chrome somewhere down the road.

The chrome hooks were under $100 bucks :thumbs: And for Factory wheels, those are nice. If my truck came with those, I'd been a happy boy. But since I wanted the NHT package with 3.73's, I couldn't get those.

 

Your truck looks Awesome :thumbs:

Welcome TX SS.

 

Hey JdubUB, where did you find such a big bowtie for your avatar?

 

 

My buddy made a couple a few years back. This is the one that came out decent and he wanted it back :nonod:

 

 

TX SS- I have some chrome tow hooks if you're interested

      GM Hard Folding Tonneau by REV review

      By cautious optimist · Posted

      This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
