Oh and picked up a Range device as well... the V4 noise was noticeable and 'some-what' irritating after the exhaust mods, but not huge.  Found a used Range for basically half of new and gave it a whirl....  actually fairly impressed with how well shifting has improved with V4 being disabled.

Found it in this thread:

 

You'll need to read through the first few pages to get the idea of what to do.  Deets for the cargo lights are in there.

Amazon

[CNADN SIERRA]

Just ordered these.  I'm thinking about mounting 2 flush mount plugs on the underside of the roof spoiler (one at each end) connected to the beacon output on the 9L7 aux switches. That way i can use multiple set ups from the same output. Also makes it easy to remove the aux lights or lightbar for servicing.

Got a set of wheels for my 2500 work wagon because my 2013 busted a rim. Now that truck will get my 2018 hand-me-downs, ill put nice wheels and tires on the my 2018 and then have 3 full size spares for the other 2500's. Only other mods are wheel to wheel tubes, weathertechs front and back, 500L slip tank, homemade 2" square tube backrack, and 2-way radio with lo-pro long range antenna, good for about 50km depending on location. 

 

Putting the wheels on tomorrow, will post pics when mounted. Other than that I might tint the windows. 

[AbnormalAviator]

I have a 2016 GMC 1500 4x4 L83 work truck custom (bare bones with rubber floors) with a 6L80, G80 at 3.42, with a mechanical transfer case.  At present, it has the RC 2.5" level kit and BFG 32.5" KO2's - apart from that and the bedliner, she is stock until the warranty is up next year.

 

Starting this year, a 4 phase plan will roll out to build a great BC expedition rig that remains practical for daily driving...by my standards at least.

 

Phase 1 - Cosmetics/non-warranty violators, commencing as soon as debt/wife allows.

 

- Black Raptor bedliner full body paintjob

- CB radio and antenna

- Thule or similar no-drill roof rack

- Homemade tube bumpers with quick-swap winch mounts between front and back

and lower body exo cage (designs are WIP)

- 12,000lb nylon winch (Smittybilt X20 seems reasonably priced, but I am an open minded opportunist)

- Undercover swing boxes...maybe.

 

Phase 2 - Performance/reliability/quality of life upgrades.

 

- Kenwood double DIN deck, or equivalent system

- Diablo i3 Tuner

- Muffler delete (keep the resonator)

- Air Raid 200-543 throttle spacer

- Air Raid 200-285 intake

- Sonnax 6L80 zip kit

- Yukon 4.56 gears

 

Phase 3 - Endgame

 

- Rough Country 7" bracket lift w/front and rear Vertex coilovers...BDS's 6" coilover kit seems like the extra $1,000USD that broke the camel's back, but we shall see...

- US Wheel Crawler Stealth 17x9" wheels

- BFG KO2 35x12.5" tires

 

It will take some time, to say the least.
