Here is one from a few days ago after a mid-winter bath. Camera really didn’t do it justice at sunset.

What kind of wheel set up do you have in mind? I have the same truck but can’t decide if I want to keep the 22s. I have the silver/chrome version. I like your black inserts.

Thanks, I like the black inserts as well but, given the choice, I think I may end up with something all black like the Fuel Hydro 20x9's, still making up my mind though.  I like the more aggressive tread in an all-terrain.  It just bugs me that my truck is 4x4 with a 6.2 V8 running on low-profile 45's and 22" wheels...   I'm not into all the bling and have already changed out the chrome mirror caps and door handles for all black.  Looks much better IMO.   Plus, I think if I choose wisely on the tires, it will also improve the ride.  First is a leveling lift though.

I hear you on the wheel set up. I loved my 18s with 33s on my old Silverado. Do you have any pics with the black mirrors/handles. I’m thinking  to plastidip the chrome on the grill. I’ve seen a few Denali’s all blacked out and I love it!

Plastic dip works well IMO,  

I did the chrome on mirrors,  window trim and door trim....   Hit the 2 yr mark,  have a few spots on mirrors,   will redo this summer...

This is the only picture I currently have - taken from a crowded garage after the rain...   Plastidip does work well in my experience but removal from something like the Denali grill could be very time consuming.  I opted to just replace the handles and mirror caps because they weren't that expensive from http://www.shopchevyparts.com/  Just beware that the shipping can be pricey.

Just my opinion but the stock rims look much better then what you are looking to buy.

2018 Sierra 1500 STL Z71 Premium Package Crew Cab Cocoa Dune Interior. Bought in Feb. Almost bought a 2017 Silverado before year end but couldn't make up my mind. Glad I did as got as good of deal on this GMC with more options and had GM card promotion that doubled my points to $3000.20180303_135207.thumb.png.733e633819c6eb94580f07392e7032a0.png20180303_135143.thumb.png.458f80634bf8d79bf98909b2205e3612.png20180303_135118.thumb.png.60d8262607993f9997374129a79304c3.png

    • What meaningful corrections were done to fix the "machining errors?"   I bet nothing, because the 6.2 is soon to be obsolete. Why would GM implement any fix let alone an "expensive one?"   Until someone can provide any convincing information that GM did ANYTHING to correct the engines - the 6.2 is no for me.    Which means keeping the 2016 Denali longer until the next generation (6.6?) proves itself.
    • If my father took a Sunday off. We did the Sunday drive. Usually stopping at a Geno’s for dinner that we eat in the car. Six of us with my little sister up front. It was always a Buick growing up. In New Jersey you couldn’t get lost. Not like Texas.
    • Hoooooooly smokes, batman!    
    • I suppose I am Atlas. It can always be worse, eh?   I had a friend once that rolled one payment into another until he was paying the price of Benz for a 10 year old back marker. Wouldn't be often you start a new payment the month following your old one. 
    • I still enjoy the drive   Some people fish when they retire; some golf. I drive. We've lived in the same general area now for twenty eight years and I'm still finding at least monthly some sweet quite little road to explore. When I tell the Mrs. I'm heading out for coffee she knows that could be a five hour event. Often she even goes along.    I like finding new rural routes used mainly by the locals that start nowhere in particular and end the same way. Many in the area of that type are narrow paved and twisty, hilly and run through field and timber. Often along creeks or wetlands. Unfarmable areas of great natural beauty.    After years of this type of exploration they start to fit together. One ending a mile or so from another and you start threading together a new path from a unfamiliar place to a new adventure. Sometimes to a little town of under five hundred that used to be something before the Interstate or some railroad or US highway bled the life out of it that has a small dinner with the greatest slice of pie you've eaten since grandma made her last. A little village museum or library or even a town square park with grand old oak, walnut and Osage orange trees to sit under while you sip you gas station coffee and chat up some locals.    Often they are full of stories about the main streets more interesting buildings and the who's who of the area. Sometimes some hidden attraction or unseen history. Our area is full of old coal mines.     A younger self used to do this going cross country by motorcycle. Only a general area as a destination with no time to get there and no time to be back. Sitting at days end in a 10 unit off the main highway motel under a Sycamore tree yacking with the owner or his one semipermanent guest while I adjusted valves or the chain. Always a wave and a shout "Hey there stranger"!  It's how I came by my love of old Brit iron. There is no such things as a ten minute gas stop when your on a Enfield or a vintage Triumph. Same being true of old cars.    If you take the time to really look I've found everywhere is someplace interesting. Illinois or West Virginia. Different and yet the same.    People are in a more relaxed mood and will talk about anything and everything and if they like you there may be a cupp'a or a lemonade and a sandwich in it. 😉
