New to the forum, new to full size!

Hi guys, I'm Roy from Baja, Mexico; I picked up my 2015 Brownstone Metallic Double Cab Silverado WT yesterday, and I'm looking fwd to start with the mods.

 

I'm coming from a 2006 CC Z71 Chevy Colorado, and decided it was time for me to graduate to a full size; I'll post pics of it as soon as I upload them, but it's bone stock for now.

 

Plans (short term) include a spindle lift, Method NVs machined with black lip, and 35's, not sure if K02 or KM2, tint windows, Baja Designs led bar (probably 20") and be done with it ........................... for now.

 

Almost forgot, Detroit TruTrac and 3.73 gears are also in my near future.

[royrjs]

There she is in all her stock glory; I'll post pics as I progress on her.

Welcome, and nice truck. I really like the big red bow! Was this a gift?

Nice choice in color Roy. That's the color I have on my 15 Z71 CC LTZ and I love it. One member called them "some weird mauve brown color" Lol

Lol I remember That post it was from some blue truck owner in who's got the blues thread. I LOL'D. I like the brown. To each their own. To bad it's discontinued for 2016.

I must confess I wanted a silver ice, but as I was shooting for a 2015 because of the clearance price, this was the only one available and I went for it. I also call it "manure metallic".

Story on the bow: sales manager saw me arriving at the stealership for the pick up, and he hurried and just put the bow on the truck.

 

 

Update: CST spindles (I wanted the ones from Mazzulla but I'm poor) and wheels (Method NV) have been ordered, I'll just get the tires once the wheels arrive. The stealership is giving me a super hard time trying to get them to install a lower gear ratio & LSD because "we've never done any setup change to a brand new truck, and the guys from Warranty are saying it'll void the warranty, they do it all the time in the US but not here"..................... damn it, so I'm going through the warranty specifics trying to find a loophole that allows me to get what I want.

That sucks. Dealerships are usually very happy to take your money and as long as they do the work they usually warranty it.

I think the story on the bow is funny and cheezy at the same time. Reminds me of the lexus christmas commercials! And to me, a bow, would imply a gift... Too bad it wasnt
