That's my plan on the OEM 20" AT wheels.

 

DYC has black aerosols for $7 (https://www.dipyourcar.com/collections/original-solid-color/products/plasti-dip-black)

or dark gray aerosols for under $4 (https://www.dipyourcar.com/collections/original-solid-color/products/plasti-dip-dark-grey).

 

I'm going to budget 1 can per wheel.

think I'm going with copper metalizer. Doing light coats on wheels and badges. Hoping it looks good. Guess we will see.

Sounds interesting - post pics after you finish for sure.

Finally got around to putting this tonneau on. Not wheels or lift (yet) but I like it!

Got my first truck this past 4th of July weekend. It is a LT 5.3L 2WD All Star Package. So far I only put Tyger Side Armor steps, have RC 2" leveling kit and BAK G2 Bakflip on its way. Currently debating if I should get some 20" either matte black or dark bronze (I like dark bronze, but I have seem much truck with bronze wheels on street, not sure if it is too weird).

 

Before side step

These are the Tyger side step, looks pretty sturdy.

Can you get a shot from the side a little lower? Want to see how far they hang down. I dig the look!

Here is the bed light system that I made. I put a little twist to it, I put some high power magnet in the back of the aluminum heat sink of the LED strip, so it just stick along the side of the bed. Just for fun, I put some extra wire to it so I can stick it under the tailgate to make it into a reverse light bar (I get power from my reverse light). By the way, the color is a little warmer on the bed light, I make display LED light on my day job, so I use some leftover jewelry display case light to make the bed light. I will change it out to something around 5000k in the future to match my reverse light

 

I put 2 tap of high power magnetic to the back, I drive over some speed bump, it hold on to the side of the bed without an issue.

The extra wire just tuck into the hole near to top of the bed.

Each one of these light bar is only about 20" long.

This is just for fun, but it is one crazy reverse light. It looks much brighter in person than in picture.

Where do you tap for power for the bed lights?

2" RC level installed, I'm not feeling like I got the look I was after.

According to cab measurements I still have 1" of rake....

Any thoughts?

Above picture is on an up hill grade, not truly flat.

same here when I first put on my 2" level. I then added another half inch spacer making it a 2.5" level then added a 1.25" RC body lift and it sits exactly how i want it.

Per the suggestion from another member, I tap it to the reverse light, so the light can be control with the remote. Every time I press unlock, light stay on for 20 sec or so.

    • Two days ago went from 2.99 to 3.39   Yesterday down to 3.19   This morning 2.99   What the...........
    • Jumped up 15 cents yesterday. $4.15
    • I have never seen GM instructions for the other trucks as per the HD with the 6 speed or the half tons but had got the impression that the HD trucks with the 6 speed were not having the same problem that the 10 speed and pan presented. Also video that I have seen of the HD 10 speed with the gas engine starting in 2024 model year showed that it was a real struggle to even make it work when pulling down hard on the exhaust after undoing the exhaust hanger bracket on the side of the transmission as after all there is little room for the pipe to even go down behind the Y joint as it soon would hit a frame cross member. Also that they had tried just like I did with the gasket off and no way was that pan coming out any way they tried to manipulate the pan. From that as well as the local transmission shop talking about the pain in the rear issue, I was not expecting my pan to come out because GM shows it was not even intended to come out without dealing with the exhaust piping.    It would be nice to claim, here's what you do and its easy to remove the pan guaranteed on any HD truck with the gas 10 speed but dollars to donuts the next guy trying what I did would not have the same luck as the exhaust was just manufactured slightly different and be pissed off at my claim that the pan comes out with no issue. Its more of a try and see if your particular truck might work like mine did .... or not !. 
    • Sorry I didn't see this until now, but it works on both the 6 speed and 10 speeds, as well as all the half tons too.
    • Hello, I have a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 that I recently changed both motor mounts on due to the driver's side being blown out. After replacement I seem to have a steady vibration that I can feel in the pedals and the back of the seat. At this point I'm convinced that the aftermarket "Anchor" branded mounts I used are not performing as well as OE, the only real reason I ended up using the mounts in question was because my local dealers were out a few months to get a Driver's side mount. I've tried "Neutralizing" the mounts according to the motor mount TSB published for these truck to no avail. My trans mount is also in great shape and seems to be absorbing vibrations swimmingly. As far as I can tell there is no issues idling, my idle RPM is steady and I've recently put GM plugs and wires on, however, I have not cleaned the throttle body or intake valves. Any one else have a similar experience with aftermarket mounts? Patience certainly is a virtue that I wish I exercised here. Thank you!
