Grampa's truck transformation

RCR70ss · March 2, 2016

Hi, just trying to get away from the plain boring look of my 2012 GMC Sierra SLT I bought it about two years ago and it has kinda grown on me. It was a sleeper with low miles on it when i spotted it in a Dodge dealership lot. Paid what i thought was a smoking deal and been good to me for two years now. still lows miles (50,000) and in great shape due to me having to much time on my hands to clean and detail it (and i don't let the other half drive it) .. couple pics Looking for honest opinions to what to do next to get away from the Standard look!

RCR70ss · March 2, 2016

this is where the transformation takes place.

Ordered a RC 2" leveling kit this week for the front end.

Ordered a PIONEER DVD Receiver( with many extra compatibility cables) with Android auto so i can watch the hockey Game going down the highway

Installed Ride-rite air suspension last week( love it)

Brought these home today New never installed! Love em. Whats next? Open to suggestions...

You're doing well!

I love those tires and rims!

RCR70ss · March 2, 2016

Thanks, Yes i am pretty happy with the wheels, I think if i level the truck maybe ditch the running boards for something aftermarket and get some tow mirrors it will be a much less Grandpa looking ride. !

Those wheels and tires will make a big difference.

Tow mirrors are a great upgrade and very easy to do. I swapped my tires for the BFG version of the ones you have there and I have never regretted it! From what I understand those ones are far less rock throwers than mine... lol

Yes i hope so, never thought of them and my Gravel lane way lol I have looked at the towing mirrors on Amazon.com for these trucks, under 200 for a pair, Just doing some pondering on them!

Basically you unattached, unplug and reattach and plug in the new ones. Heated mirrors will still work but if you have power folding you will lose that. From what I've been told you should be pretty safe with those tires.
