White Diamond 2015 GMC SLT 1500 Sierra

[nkd90]

Hey guys, This is my truck and build. Any questions, theories, info just ask I'd be glad to try and help fellow members of this forum!

Truck mods:

HID diode dynamic kit
DRL RGB diode dynamic
Front bumper SCA G2 high clearance bumper
Led light bars : Totron 30 inch in the grille Totron 20 inch in the bumper
wheels Fuel Nutz 20 inches
Tires Toyo Open Country A/T (very good tire for performance and looks) looks like a mud tire without the roar of a mud tire!

Rigid Fog lights are ordered but havent been shipped yet that was 30 days ago. So will have those added to the bumper once they come in!

Had a question on how I painted my headlights in a different post. |

I cut them open, then to color match the grille shell and inside the headlights I used plasti dip white and then bought plasti dip pearlizer and laid coats of it on till it matched about 97% of the OEM white diamond look. Its not far off the real color. RGBW light boards replaced the stock DRL boards and has a color wheel remote with unlimited colors, color blends, and light shows.

to cut the plastic I used these metal wheel blades. Regular cutting wheel melts the plastic and is kinda a pain in the ass and donesnt make for easy clean up / clean cuts.

Thanks mike. Right now I just gotta buy a lift kit. I bought K&N cold air intake and exhaust this morning so will put them on when they come in

 

exhaust Magnaflow Catback off road Pro Series just to compliment the air intake its not loud which is what I wanted! I hate exhaust noise

Totron Light bars:

they are cheap but they are very durable. I personally think they are just as good as the Rigid Industries light bars. Ill be damned if i spent 600 dollars on a 20in light bar. I think i paid like 140 for the 30 inch and right at 120 for the 20 inch. for my two light bars. and they havent yellowed or cracked or anything in the little over a year that I have had them. I also dont clean my truck or lights religiously I like a clean truck but the older I get the less I tend to want to detail the hell out of it! I cant just do a wash and vac I start off that way but before you know it I done cleaned every crack and crevices on the truck.

G2 bumper.

they say on the webpage they are strictly designed for rigid industries light bars and foglights. I was like I dont really see how they could differ so im gonna throw my 100 dollar bad to the bone totron on rather than pay 600! So I did that, Well turns out the Totron is actually a true 20 inch light bar but the housing make it about 21 and quarter total length. So based on the measurements I did RI 20in light bar must be really 18 in led lighting and another inch in casing. So i had to modify the bumper brackets and I had to cut the housing of my light bar so it would fit. And suprisingly I got it to fit / sealed without having to cut the bracket and weld knew brackets on!

I dont have anything against RI led lights. I just think they are about 500 dollars overpriced. maybe if they came with RGBW control kit I might see 600 being a little justifiable but I promise totron is same quality same durable lens, not yellowing, and its waterproof out of the box! thats just my opinion and those on a budget build or what not I would highly recommend totron to you!

RGB light show

 

 

man,those lights are sweet- love the RGBW light boards instead of the stock ones...never thought of using plastidip inside the light housing, but that would seem to be ok since they aren't exposed to the elements....

plasti dip is awesome. I plasti dipped my last trucks bumper and grille and stuff and never had it fade, chip, or peel off while power washing it. I play on plasti dipping the back bumper. I just didnt know how well if at all I could use plasti dip products to match white diamond pearl. But It can get very close to the OEM grade paint. you can see a slight difference if your nose is touchin the paint but other than that 6 inches away and back you wouldnt be able to tell.

I really like your front bumper and the integrated light mounts.

 

Are the side openings in the bumper angled forward for fog lights? From the pics, they kinda look like they might be angled outward to act as side floods.

Thanks, Yes the openings are for rigid industries Led dually lights, They are angled that way but when you get the fog lights mounted they will be faced forward just like stock fog lights. I ordered the fog lights on jan 15th. the same day I ordered the bumper and rgb kit and some other stuff and so far all im waiting on is the fog lights. I have emailed them and have got no response. Id like to say they are on back order for this delay it dont make any sense but im patiently waiting on them and once I get them I will install and post pics.

Got the K&N Air Filter installed and the fog lights mounted as well as wired up to the factory fog light switch. I could have installed the fog lights more forward facing but since these fog lights are bright and a flooded beam I went ahead and just mounted them flush with the curves of the bumper because even though they face outward the flooded light covers the front all the way to well off the side of the road! They are awesome! Ill take some pics tonight of how much they illuminate off the road!
