What Have You Done With Your T1 Today ?????

[code-man26]

Waited and searched for this truck. Crew cab with a real 6.5' bed. Not the stubby 5.5' bed that most are coming with nowadays. 

 

Window Tint: 50% with 8" strip across top of windshield 

Lift: Motofab 3" leveling strut spacer

Exhaust: MBRP 2.5" cat-back exhaust. I went with a system because it retained the factory tubing diameter in hopes of gaining a 'mature' sounding exhaust but man was that a mistake. For some reason this MBRP system DROOOONES! Like, BAD!. It sounds like a 16 year old kid just found his fathers hacksaw and went to town on his exhaust pipe. I will most definitely be swapping it out for another system once I hear some real-world examples.

Wheels: 17 x 8.5 Method Double Standard rims with 285/70/17 Toyo Open Country RT tires. The wheels did contact the front brake caliper just a hair so I had to add 1/4" wheel spacers to achieve proper clearance. I would definitely go with a 35" tire next time though, I just got a SUPER killer deal on 5 of these wheels.

Styling: USA Flag tailgate letters look pretty slick! 

 

Next up: Fox suspension on all 4 corners, Camburg Racing upper control arms, Deaver leaf pack and Baja Designs 30" light bar.

So because your preference is a " real 6'5" bed" everyone else that has a preference for a balanced look short bed is wrong or has no taste........and I didn't know Chevy made a "fake" "6'5" bed to begin with.   Glad you were luck enough to get a real one....whew!!

Finally installed my Baja Design lights in the factory location, they give a lot of light more than I thought they would.

Looks good. On my list for sure but with the ambers. Easy install? Plug and play with existing fog light wires? I may opt for a dimmer somehow but not sure how to do that yet.

Super easy, BD sent adapter plugs for the wires and there's only three 7mm bolts holding each light in. 30 min max.

No sir, I did not say nor imply "wrong" or "has no taste" or "fake". Please don't try and turn my post into a negative thing when it wasn't in the least bit to begin with. Have a better day.

I traded in my LT for an LTZ. Their was just to many things I wanted to do to my LT that came with the LTZ so I went for it. I am so much happier with the LTZ.

How does the color of the Baja Designs fog lights match up with the Chevrolet LEDs? The factory LEDs appear to be closer to 6k and BD lists theirs at 5k.

Got a OEM overstock new painted bumper and take off chrome grille last week. Today, got my new HC wheels mounted up on some 285/65r20 BFG’s. SUPER happy with how it came out. 
 

I’m finally getting close to the vision I had back when I bought my truck, of a “non-blacked out“ trail boss. Call me crazy, but I’m not a fan of all the black. No hate, just a preference for me personally. I really like how it’s turning out though!

I agree, thats one of the reasons I didn't buy a Trail Boss, I didn't like all the black, especially the grill and bumper, looks like a low level trim package to me. Again, no hate, just my preference.  Nice work Chance.

Where did you get the painted bumper and how much was it?

Did you install a leveling kit?

Is this an anti-drool mod for the doggy?

Look up Slobber Guards.

Yes the headlights are a little bit whiter, you can see this as the driving lights shine on the ground more. Doesn't bother me like it did on my last truck with Halogen to these.
