So I just got my LTZ Z71, and I’m toying with the idea of putting the 4x4 sticker on the bed. It almost feels like it’s missing something when looking at the back of the truck. But I’m not sure how I feel about having a Z71 badge and a 4x4 sticker. Will I just get used to nothing on bed? I’m so used to seeing stickers on the bed in previous generations. Anybody else had similar thoughts or anyone have any feedback? Thanks!

I was gonna put a trail boss sticker on my RST after I lifted it with kings, lol....just so some dude driving by would recognize silverados and wonder how I got an RST trail boss...but decided against it.....have just stk 4x4 on and its fine, I don't mind stock badging

Ha! I was thinking about doing the same thing if I end up buying the GM factory trail boss lift. Technically it sort of would be a LTZ trail boss ?

You should make a build thread, great looking truck

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.

Follow up when you get the fox/camburg install done. I’m looking to do their at4 kit and wonder how it would sit.

I will for sure. I actually went with the Baja Kits boxed upper arm. Their Black Friday deal was too hard to pass up. Once I get the upper arms and Fox coilovers installed I'll do a full build thread and post here.

Any word when Fox will release their kit? They told me a date a while back but we have passed said date... They did tell me one of their kits will be a 3.5” Coilover lift which will be nice!

No I haven't. And truthfully, I'm waiting for Baja Kits to release their stock length full fabricated lower control arm before I buy shocks to ensure I get the proper length for the increase in travel. Hopefully by then Fox will have their kit together.

    • This video may not be the exact content for the joke thread but its a lot of laughs so here it is, I've only watched a portion of it so far but if anyone is looking for some light hearted good soap box driving action, its here. As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715
    • Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄
    • Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished
    • As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.
    • That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
