Nice looking truck! I'm picking up my rainforest green double cab on Monday. I'm curious on how the truck would look with ptm bumpers. The wheels look real nice.

Good looking truck like the new wheel/tire setup.

You still have the 2.5 inch leveling kit? Do your 305/50/20 on your -12 offset rub at all? I'm thinking of doing the same or maybe 33/12.5/20

Nice truck I have a 2015 silverado just starting my build. But I think your truck would look really good with the rough country side steps! Keep up the good work.

Figured I'd start a build thread so I can post the updates on my truck. Pretty much the basic modifications, but i'm happy with the truck. I bought the truck in October with 7k miles on it, has 11,300 right now, can't complain. Couple little interior noises and one rattle I want the dealer to look at, but happy with my first (basically) new vehicle

The day brought the truck home. 2014 Z71 5.3 double cab LT, 3.42 gears,Rainforest Green Metallic, light tan interior, center console, heated cloth. The Previous owner installed an Extang tri-fold cover and a GM bed mat. Oh, also the mud flaps WITH BOW TIES.

First thing i bought was some LED fog lights. I'd still like LED or possibly HID headlight bulbs, but don't want to spend the money on lights right now. I also got fitted MaxLiner floor mats, front and rear, that I'm really happy with, but don't have a picture of them.

Then got a good deal online on a K&N cold air intake. Did I notice much? Nope. I'd still probably do it again. I think it will help when i get my truck tuned.

I decided to plasti-dip my wheels. I like black/machined wheels the best, but didn't want to buy rims right now, so i'm happy with the look.

I put a DynoMax Cat-back exhaust on also. Don't have any pictures or video, but i'm happy with it. Stainless system, single exit, for $290 shipped. Not super loud but sounds good. Also got a Rough Country 2.5" front/1" rear leveling kit. Simple and cheap. I'm happy so far. Ride is stiffer but not bad.

I need tires next. I'm planning 305/65/18 Falken Wildpeak A/T's right now. Then, a custom tune from Black Bear. I should be pretty happy with it after that. Things could change though. I would like some better rear shocks and new coilovers one day. Anyway, let me know what you think

Forgot i ditched the front valance and baby mud flaps too.

Looking good !!!

yes they do rub. mainly just the mud flap. occasionally at full lock while going forward but they rub a little all the time at full lock in reverse.

Careful, your front right tire is off-road....

Truck looks good! Love the color.

How hard was the step sides to install? Just curious...

SleeperZ71 · October 26, 2015

Wow....nice job on this rig. Looks frickin great!

easy as installing 6 bolts and nuts...haha. oh and 6 body clips. I'm not real impressed with them honestly. they're the N-Fab wheel to wheel bars. they just bolt to the pinch weld. I have adjusted and tightened them multiple times because they squeaked and feel lose when stepping on them.
