Better get them chrome door handles and mirror caps to complete the look...

Dunno if those will overdo it with the chrome tbh, I'll just stick to a grille insert and chrome wheels.

Go with idea #2

Too many guys go with that black crap.

The only thing that looks good in black is the truck itself.

I went with Stainless steel steps , bed rails , exhaust tip and stainless steel trimmed mudflaps . And chrome 22's .No bull bar for me but if you want one go for it. 

Put chrome wheels on it too.

This is all a matter of what you like too.

I'm old school. I'm old too.

Do you have to be old to be old school? I consider myself old school in a lot of things but I’m young. I also love the look of chrome on the truck (except overbearing chrome - like somebody that wraps their whole car in it :puke:)

No you don't have to be old to be old school. And you are correct about too much chrome. Makes me barf too .

Glad to see you get it.

It seems you’ve made up your mind on going with the chrome setup, but figured I’d throw out another idea in case you wanted it.

 

I’m a big fan of color matched / color contrast and no chrome. I’ve got the all terrain pack, which gave me color matched bumpers, then I continued the theme by removing all the factory chrome. I personally don’t like chrome, just not my “thing.”

 

Theres a blue SLT in the same color that runs around town here, and he color matched everything / tinted the windows. He went with a 2.5” level and black wheels, and I think it looks awesome. 

 

At the end of the day, it’s your truck, do what makes you happy! Search the wheel / tire setup thread, and that can also help spark ideas of what to do with your truck.

Figured I'd update this with what I've done so far. Not everyones cup of tea I know but I love it so far and that's what counts.

 

Set of KMC Rockstar 2's

Borla GM Exhaust

Bakflip MK4 tonneau cover

Black mesh insert for front grille

Aeries 6" black running boards

 

Plastidip the emblems matte black next once the weather warms up.

    • Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆
    • I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death. 
    • In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them. 
    • I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.     
    • Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
