Sup yall! Bought my baby in December 2014 and this is my first truck ever. Didn't expect to be dropping so much $$$ on mods but everything has been worth every penny.

Here are a couple pics when she was untouched

Then as a surprise birthday gift from my brothers, I got running boards!

Here are a few extra pics before more mods came in

And then I added 22" GM rims on 285/45/22 Pirelli tires 8d17a9d6cb258b043715dc0651b7ccfb.jpg

Added Airaid JR kit.

And then the chroming process began..

And then the SLE to SLT/Denali light conversion via Gen5DIY

Night shot with 6k DDM HIDs installed

And then.. I went on a splurge on the RC 2.5" front only level, Westin Bull Bar, GMC mudflaps, all terrain grille, Rigid DOT/SAE fogs..

Me parked next to a Silverado 2500

Very good looking truck. I am still debating on adding the rear blocks myself, have them sitting on the bench waiting, but still unsure. Think I will have to use some of your mods. Look forward to see what else you do.

Looking good! can you post a picture of your truck from behind with those splash guards? I'm contemplating between the white and the black. My friend has the white ones and they surprisingly don't look bad with the black fender trim.

 

If you can please post a pic like this angle.

went with the white cause it blends with the fender trim too. didnt want an eye-catching mud flap either, white would get really dirty too

I paid 1/4 Mil for my house and its a 1950's 870sq/ft bungalow. I wish I lived in Texas, I've heard the housing market is pretty cheap there. Canada's so expensive!

Posted

:o with that money you could buy a comfortable 2 story here! housing here is one of the lowest in the states

Aight, got a catch can, 1.5" Zone BL, and HD Tow Mirrors (coming in) to install soon.

Should I keep my truck level or add the extra 1" in the rear from my RC 2.5" leveling kit?

Posted

Catch can and BL installed! Idk if yall can tell the difference doe. d851942b1d5a41e7aab2eedd4ccc5f55.jpgf3cd6127462b163eaf5ba3d13534ce67.jpg4d9aa6f3836edc3e4fffbfaeeb130eda.jpg95518841c62a9bb3772b268a62aa0589.jpg3e37b54b8ef67df0d63eeaafce7fc00b.jpg

 

Mechanic is going to custom weld the bull bar brackets so I can still use it. Gotta wait until next week doe :/ my tow mirrors will be put on next weekend too!

I drive a 15 Sierra Denali 5.3L, CC. could you possibly post a pic of your tow mirrors from the back looking down the drivers side.... I'd like to see how far they stick out...lastly, are those mirrors heated, and does it have the LED turn signals in the mirrors? Thanks in advance. Truck looks awesome BTW

    • Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver. 
    • Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....  
    • 4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps. 
    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.  
    • Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
