Looks great!

Thinking about doing the same - except I’d be replacing a LoMax, but basically same as Bakflip. Any extra insight or tips? What was your motivation?

The main thing is I want to run crossbars and the bakflip wasn’t a great option for that, I got some bars that worked with it but it wasn’t exactly what I wanted. I also had some trouble at first and the cover rubbed some paint off my cab from being in the up position. I got new rubber strips for it and it’s fine now, but I really liked the sliding cover, no drill design of the retrax and the rail system for adding bars. My only gripe is the drainage tubes that came with it don’t work for the holes in the bed near the cab. There are holes in the floor of the cab but the tube is too large, I have to widen the holes when I get a chance. Overall, both are great covers depending on your needs!

Added 2.5" front level kit and a 2" rear block lift. Love the new stance! Made plenty room for some 33's now.

35 12.50 20 bfg km3s, removed the mud flap brackets, pulled the liner back with a zip tie and no rub.   Also tinted corner lights and mirror lights.

Any other mod for this set up? Spacers, level. No type of rub at all? Thanks, looks great.

Up front, Icon coilovers set to 3 inch, rough country uca's. Removed the mud flap brackets and pulled the liner back.  On the rear just 1.5 blocks and bilsteins.  Now these are trailboss replica wheels with a +15 offset. So that helps keep the tire off the uca's.

How's the ride quality with he ICON coilers? I am looking at ordering their kit, but can't seem to find much info on the GM/Chevy  installs. I found a video of a guy putting them on his ram, road bumps and trains tracks appeared to be absorbed by coilers. I don't do much off roading with my AT4, so the I won't be getting the reservoirs.

They are firmer than the rest, fox or king will ride smoother. Its firm but handles real well. I don't have the reservoirs either, mines just the stage 1.  The less preload the smoother tho, thats why mines at 3 inch and not 3.5.

 

Installation is pretty easy, not much too it. Make sure u do some sort of control arms tho.

Added 6 3/4” led grill lights. 4 up top and 2 in the tow hook recesses. Went with red to match the red trim on my AT4. Ran a separate harness and switch to avoid messing with any factory electrical. I don’t have any night pics yet.

2" SST

285/75/18 Ridge Grapplers on stock 18" AT4 wheels

Surprised that i have zero rubbing anywhere. Tire is close to the control arm but has enough clearance.

 

Started the install on my radar detector.

Need to order the upfitter parts so i can have it switched and all wires hidden.

Not only Mn and Wi. Most likely that all states will follow USDOT, which says, uh-uh.

Installed Tyger Armor steps.... These things are super rugged. Happy with the outcome. cca1b1f6c9f035e348a39fca8931f1a2.jpg

    • Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.
    • Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
    • Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
