Figured I'd add a few pictures to the thread as well. 2014 Silverado 1500 with a set of 24" KMC slides.

 

I've been looking at the Slide and the Skitch. I'm glad you posted this pic, the slide looks better than i had imagined.

Here's my new setup. 20 inch AT replicas wrapped with 275/55/20 cooper AT3s. Truck is leveled with rancho quick lift shocks.07b920e55df6a1094945b2ba9de34018.jpg77cc3ec873361b0d8d607ca0a799e1f0.jpga0062b43b9c4ebd11341fb0a7a4affa5.jpg

I'm glad you found them useful, I'd like to take credit picking those out, but unfortunately I cannot. They were on the truck when I purchased it. On day 1 of owning the truck I was hell bent on selling the wheels and tires, by day 2 they grew on me and by day 3, I really liked the look so, they are staying on the truck ;)

Iridium Metallic and Fuel anthracite. Not sure which fuel rim though. Looks pretty good.

That said the method machined face NV is starting to seriously grow on me. I need some place to go try on wheels. Two at a time. One NV machined face on the passenger side and one black on the other side so i can make up my damn mind.

Any idea on what lift and tire size that is on the first truck? Looks really good! If it was leveled itd be perfect!

Thinking i'm going to go method NV machined face, and if i don't like it i'll have them powder coated black. Or vice versa get them black and have them powder coated anthracite or matte grey if i don't like it. Looking at the link turns out these were powder coated :( Wish i could buy those NVs from method looking just like that.

I go chrome and sometimes black wheel skins with stock 18 and Goodyear SRAs. Can't wait to get a more aggressive tire.

I like those wheels and love the color....wish they made them that way.

 

Anyone have any ideas of powder coating costs for a set of wheels?

Saw this on an Iridium AT the other day and it looked great. It looks like more of a flat silver than bright chrome.

    • I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose      
    • Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
