This looks just awesome!
Is it your driveway that is making it look like it has a ton of rake ?

honestly, compare that to a stock truck and you'd think the exact opposite. Looks perfect IMO

Your right, it does look good like that!

I was just curious, as I’m looking to get the same kit for mine

Can you talk a bit about what you are doing here with the items below?
 
Floor Accent Lighting - Ordered
LED Bed Light Expansion - Ordered

 
Links would be great if you have the time.  Thanks much.
 
Ok

LED Bed Light Extension is now complete.

Now I can see the entire bed with the Tonnue Cover on at night!!!

This was more involved than I wanted it to be but after 90 minutes she was lit up!!

I'll show the details in a separate post.

It's not the wheel choice but the highway tread tires.

I still have the stock 18" for the winter and the little off roading I will do.  This truck is just a lifted de-chromed Denali really.

Any way we can see a pic of your truck with the rough country lights off?  Curious how they make the truck look normally, considering ordering some for my truck.  And how do you like them?

It is a 22, it's the wheel choice... A 22 is rubbish off road, no rim protection, no added traction or airing down benefits, no improving the ride just a nice high probability of wheel damage at the first rock the size of a softball. Then you have the on road penalties of rougher ride, more expensive tire, lower mpg and slower acceleration/longer braking with the added weight combined with the higher cost. They really should limit wheel size in off road oriented models to 18" or the smallest that will fit over the brakes. 

 

Even in regular street vehicles, we are starting to shop for a new Denali or Escalade and you are hard pressed to find one without a 22 on there; we definitely don't want those trade offs.

I agree with you.  My Denali has 22" rims also.  After the level, I was hard pressed to find All-terrain tires and when I got the Grappler G2's the price was outrageous.

Finally can say I'm an Owner now. Have had my eyes on a 2020 for a long time now. It felt like foreverrr.6d2fdaf9c9457c244543e6735c988dff.jpg

Took the AT4 for a little rip into the mountains to take the dog for a walk (any excuse to get out of town)

    • 87 down as low as $5.14 here... winning!
    • Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.

    • It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.
