I haven't noticed any camera issues but i haven't really paid close attention to it. It seems to work fine, no distortion observed. 

Did you change the grill yourself. If so how did you remove it

Are you leveled? Lifted? I've got a 2 inch level. Let me know how the truck rides with the Nitto's in that size. I am contemplating sizing up, but don't want to lose the comfortable ride.

I have a 2019 SLT crew 4wd with the gm 2 inch lift.  Same here.  Don’t want to mess up the ride.  Keep ya posted.

No, it was done by the shop that painted the fog light bezels.

This is my second T1...traded in a 2019 2WD custom in order to get a 2020 4WD custom with a 5.3 back in March. Dealer called....offered me a brand new truck with 4wd, V8 and to lower my monthly payment without increasing my financing commitment. No brainer.

 

Got a 2.25" ProComp level up front ($520 installed at 4wheelParts Marietta) which allowed for 35x12.50x20 tires on stock wheels. Yes they fit. No spacers. No rub. No trimming (although I'd already deleted the "rock/mud guards"). It is NOT a trail boss, so hoping this gives others the confidence to go for 35/12.5"s where possible.

 

Tires are Atturo Trail Blade X/Ts which have a lot of mixed reviews from the 2015-2016 days, but have really gotten a lot better in the last few years. They balanced with a few ounces, look aggressive and so far ride quiet as a church mouse. They are 34.9" tall and 12.52" wide. Only paid $820 out the door (Discount tire gives you $200 or so for your H/T takeoffs...one of the few places that still pay for them), so if they last me anything past 18 months I feel i'm in the black.

 

She's actually sitting .75" nose high (reverse rake) at the moment, so I've got a SDT 1" rear block that I'm installing next month.

 

I've also got a Ronin antenna, Rough Country rear light strip under the tailgate, OEM bed liner, OEM steps, Chevy soft roll up bed over and Clazzio Leather seat covers in baseball glove brown (installed myself for $800....highly recommend over Katzkin). I also painted the tow hooks with plasti-dip red. Not permanent, so might do the full upgrade to rough country red hooks if I can figure out how to get around that pesky driver's side bolt (don't want to have to take the whole front end apart).

 

There's also a thread on here about the $20 exhaust upgrade that isn't permanent. I did that too and it sounds perfect (not high schooler loud, but perfect grumble and lets everyone know it's a V8 without being obnoxious). It would take me 2 mins to return it to stock.

 

Next steps: 1" rear block, window tinting, de-badge the CUSTOM on back, rear wheel well liner, AMP Power steps, and maybe some chrome (handles and mirrors).

 

All-in, including taxes, I'm still under $34K total for a brand new truck (including mods) that sits, sounds and looks how I want. Pretty happy with that.

Looks good. What was the $20 exhaust upgrade?

I have little to no mechanical skills and did this myself in 20 mins. It really improves the sound and best part is that it’s not permanent. Don’t use tape. Just get some exhaust sheets from a car parts place, cut to size and use 3” clamps to cover the screens. I’ll try to post a video but the link has a lot of people showing you sound improvement.

Finally got around to de-badging the tailgate.
Used hair dryer and fishing line.

1. Before
2. Badges removed with goo present
3. Used goo gone and elbow grease.
I can still see a couple of places at an angle that I didn’t get off.

I just did the same thing with the goo gone. It got real messy and I didn’t think I’d see the light on the other side of the tunnel. But after going through a few micro fiber towels and half a bottle of goo gone it came out good

It’s a LoMax. It sits about 1/2” above the bedsides. I like it. I had a Bakflip on my 2015, and it’s comparable to that but it seals a little better.

I had the four TPMS sensors installed today on my travel trailer. Super easy to learn the sensors with the learning tool. I like being able to monitor tire pressure and temperature. Great GMC feature!

    • What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.
    • People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.    
    • Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
