rdnckhntr94's 2014 Silverado High Country Build

No, no you can't do that. You have been given a mission to remove the rear bumper my friend. I must know how lol. I want to pull the bumper at a later date when I get it colormatched and also so I can pull the black plastics off and bed line them for better grip and so they don't fade overtime.

Edit:

Just found this after searching real quick

So many small screws I have to get to. GM made it so you have to take it to the dealer basically lol. I'll get back at it another day I'm sure

You must haha. And yea. They seem to have made this truck a PITA to take apart some things. Probably trying to keep people like us from messing with it. But little do they know that they can't stop us [emoji106]

If only I had a short 5/8" drill bit and a 90 degree drill I wouldn't have to remove the bumper

Didn't need an oil change just yet, but I've been towing quite a bit frequently and I'm also going on a 500 mile or so trip to Hatfield-McCoy which requires me dragging a trailer with three quads on it through the mountains so figured I'd do it now. Also dropped the trans pan to clear out any break in shavings and clean the magnet. Magnet was full (sorry no pic). Still need to do the tcase and rotate the tires this week before I start loading Wednesday night!

Current mileage is 14,3xx mi. in case y'all were wondering since I put on some insane mileage here lately with the new truck lol

Update: rotated tires right after I posted this [emoji23]

Just ended my 800 mile round trip towing about a 3600 pound trailer, 400 pounds of gear in the bed, plus the truck had 4 full sized adults in it. Worked it up and down the appalachian mountains. She was working but she did awesome. Down hill assist is a life saver on these 6 speeds. Helped save my brakes for sure

Towing up hill in 2nd gear working hard

My other baby [emoji7]

She got 12 hours of riding in and 132 miles. You can say I'm beat lol

Found the truck i really want at a lodge up the street from where we stayed [emoji7] [emoji7]

Had a ton of fun and can't wait to go back now!

No mods lately since I've been getting my other truck ready for the road, but I am taking the boat out tomorrow with some friends and they have boats as well. You can say it will be a redneck yacht club lol

Crossed 18k today while towing a trailer to WV to pickup some equipment for work

Lol. It's mainly stock as it sets Zach! Not sure if I want an exhaust system or not now. Love how quiet it is

zach1990 · June 6, 2015

Thought of you when I saw that and felt like sharing lol

Finally spent some time cleaning the truck up a bit. Took bug and tar remover to the grille and the headlights to clean up all the stuck on bugs:

Looks better than when I picked it up at the dealer lol. Need to hit the front bumper as well, then behind all the tires. Gonna have my buddy do a clay bar, compound, and wax before fall comes around (I'm too lazy nowadays).

Also noticed this the other day [emoji50] [emoji26]
