What have you done to your K2 today?

The real question is, how many times had he had his mirrors off? ?

psu · August 9, 2018

dude my nails hurt for a week, debadging the tailgate!.. feel your pain brotha~

looks much better without IMO!.. nice work

Hahahaha I hear you brother, and thank you!

We ended up giving in and buying the 3M wheel. It worked wonders.

Both of my thumbs and both of hers were toast.

Put a volant intake on and ordered a new gas pedal. Welded the exhaust flapper open. Got a new windshield yesterday.

Lol. He should think about opening up those door panels to see if any modifications are possible. Haha.

Couple of weeks ago I had my baby lowered. It was too low. Today she came back up a couple of inches. Also added 1.5" spacers to give her a wider stance.

Wrapped interior brushed aluminum trim with kryptek typhoon matte. Not 3M brand and it was an "upgraded" exterior version so it was tacky as hell. The lady I spoke with on the phone said it was about the same level of difficulty to install and wouldn't leave residue but even just during the initial application when I pulled up there were multiple times I saw residue. Made certain parts of the wrap look slightly different (areas I pulled up vs didn't) and complex corners were hell.

All in all though I like the look and I've got more than enough to wrap another truck interior or other stuff. Expensive as hell but I really love kryptek and the truck has a theme now (matching seat covers).

Additionally I installed the Go Rhino RB20 steps. Pretty straightforward install although I had to punch out a hole for bolts and file as it wasn't punched out during assembly. Went in fine, instructions were slightly off from parts they gave me (maybe difference in years) but was pretty straight forward, no major complaints during install.

I do wish that the mounts were thinner as when you walk up to the truck you can clearly see the 4 points it mounts to the truck. Also wouldn't mind if it was slightly tighter to the body, most of the videos made it seem like it was, but for whatever reason it isn't in my install. Lastly the front is slightly wider than the rear. Actually sort of lines up with the additional 1.5" track width in the front. Steps are pretty grippy overall, interested to see how much snow they collect during the winter.

Next up is installing my amber lamin-x fog light film and hopefully by end of month my diamondback cover. Also ordered a husky rear storage bin as I've been carrying everything (straps, jumper cables, bungee cords, first aid, etc.) around in an old backpack.

I really went hog wild the past few weeks and need to calm it down a bit. Still a bit left I want to do (Upgraded stereo, line-x front and rear bumper, line-x chrome mirror caps, new grille, custom badges front and rear, front and rear off road lights) and some things I'm up in the air about (possibly line-xed fender flares, blackout the tan headliner trim and black US flag headliner, grille guard). For now though she will probably sit for the rest of the year. Need to let the bank fill back up to a more comfortable level and I've got my eyes on a scar 17s so we will see what happens there.

ANY Photo's of your headliner ?? How do you light the RB-20 ?? Why not RB-10 .

Slapps74 · August 9, 2018

Well, I updated the tune and took it for a test drive 12.6 PSI on the data log. Pulls hard when it gets traction!

Don't have the headliner yet, thats prob a good 2 years down the road, toward the end of the mod list.

I got the RB-20 over the 10s as I've heard they are less likely to get snow build up. The slit on the 10 is thin enough and faces forward so it's likely to catch a ton of snow on the highway. Once the snow packs in it can turn to ice and obviously that's an issue for traction. The RB20s should be less of a problem there as they are directly vertical holes rather than angles slits. This winter should help see if that's true or not. Fingers crossed but planning on buying some mudflaps regardless, should help protect the paint as well.

Thanks bud! The free time I get is far and few between. So I had a 1/2 day yesterday and was able to capitalize on that.

How hard is the illuminated door handle install? Specifically the wiring? Do you have a write-up?

Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Not hard at all. Just time consuming to run the wiring. Mainly because the rear doors don't have those circuits we need to drive them. Here is my video on how I did it the first time. When the handles were just a puddle lamp (like how Escallades have them).

I don't tow..ever.. Add since, I am only lifted with factory 22s, I don't think it'll look good with tow mirrors. I like the sporty look, grocery getter. LOL.

Mirrors, maybe a dozen times. Door panels, at least 100x. LOL

Ha Phil. I was just being goofy. I know there isn’t a wire in these trucks you haven’t scouted. I’m envious but appreciate the education and help you’ve given me with the mods I’ve worked on. I couldn’t have accomplished them without your help and product. I’m thinking heated steering wheel next.

Installed D5S-5K-45w Hylux HID from DistantExtreme.com. The ballast for the 45Watt has extra wiring that was a pain to try to figure out how to install it, but the output is worth it IMO. Also changed out the Air filter with ACDelco A3181C Professional Air Filter while I was in there.

Well,

The Caliper covers didn’t last long. Lol. The fronts have very tight tolerances and was rubbing on the back side of the wheels.

So, I took them off. Lol.
