Did you do the mirrors and handles yourself? Have watched a bunch of videos on both and it looks a little risky as to whether you come out okay doing them yourself 

nah, was easy. Used plastic tools, just have to be easy with the clips.  Taking your time is the key..!  The mirrors are 4x 13mm bolts and one plug.  The handles are stick on covers my brothers body shop painted.

They are both just covers. I ended up not liking the bulk of the mirror covers so I removed them. The handle covers snap on and adhere with double-sided tape. They are available on eBay from seller "beyondbasik" for about $10. I was weary because of cheap they were but they are actually great quality. They cover the handle well and appear as close to factory as you will get without replacing the whole handle.

Bulk of the mirror cover..?  The painted part on the mirror is the mirror. I did buy the handles fairly cheap but they werent 10.00 or that brand, came with the tailgate handle. Plus They were chrome. They were sanded, primed. painted and cleared. Left over paint from another job.   No they don't fit perfect but they will do the job for now.

Got the "Raptor" style grill painted and installed. 

GRILL.jpg

Wow, that looks great!   That front end combines good elements from different sources: The neat LED headlights from an LT+ truck, the cool blackout style CHEVROLET grill from a Custom, and the three Raptor style LEDs up top.  Really nice! The chrome bumper and front bar are cool too.

Can you share some information about how you put this together?

Thanks Jim,  

 

Its my first truck a 19 LT.   I've always been a muscle car dude. (18 1LE Camaro,  16 Chevy SS)    But The truck was a great pick for Home Depot trips and what not.

 

I started with the TAC "bull bar" in a matte black.  Seeing how well it did with the NS blue helped me decide what to do. Every truck needs a light bar obviously so that was quickly added.   I always loved the Custom style grill, and love the aggressive look of the Raptor, so when I found a grill that incorporated both I had to have it.  Had the dealership paint it Gloss black, and installed it.  

Also have Motofab 3" lift front and rear, Now just need some new shoes in a deep dark bronze and ill be set.

35 12.50 20 km3s load range e, pressures set at 35 psi. These ride nice and smooth and for now are quiet. They do rub on the mud flap at about 3/4 turn to full lock.   

 

Also tinted the mirror lights and the amber headlight corner lights.

The readylift just didnt see like it was enough after seeing the 3-3.5 lifts. I purchased a stage 1 icon lift with the coilovers set at 3 inch and a rear 1.5 block with shocks. Plus I used a set of rough country control arms.20191214_121117.thumb.jpg.9e58abd32b354a0f9b308dc2eeed7f05.jpg20191215_113452.thumb.jpg.592e354d8fa48a889f6eba0af7d14338.jpg20191215_131919.thumb.jpg.ce284d290f3772f0c3cad20b0abccf84.jpg

In the pic it was really nice,, Its more firm than stock, but not harsh and handles real well too.  I will say tho with these set at any more than 2.5 they are real firm. The stage 1 are also not long travel. When I called Icon about what to do with it turned to 3.5 they told me to send em in and they will take a stop out of the inside.   So what I did was turn them to the top meaning at 1.5 and added a 1.5 level to the top of the coilover. Then with that to get to my 3.5 I just adjusted em a small amount. That way the preload is at a minimum.

Thanks for the info in a quick reply!

Wondering how many miles you have on your stage 1 ICON coilovers thus far? After about 14,000 miles my passenger side coilover has started to leak fluid. I've started the warranty process with ICON...

Actually sent mine back last week, only 5k on them.  They ride too firm cranked up. So along with revalving them I had them redone to stage 3/4 with the reservoir and cdcv. They have real good customer service and will take care of you.

5k miles! Sounds like I'm lucky mine lasted this long (6 months, 14k miles). My issue is that it's my daily driver & I can't just leave it sitting on stands. So I'm thinking of having it rebuilt locally. Planning to have that conversation with ICON today to see if they'll honor it. I'm between NYC and Philly, so I figured there's got to be somebody who'd be willing to do the rebuild. Do you know anybody?

      A/C failure cause???

      By Somethingclever_2014GM · Posted

      Glad it worked for you. I tried that 1st, about 2 years ago. Didn't help. I also tried doing a hard reset (disconnecting battery for minimum of 30 minutes). Worked a couple times, but after one summer of doing it over and over, that no longer worked.  I was fairly confident it was either the compressor or a failed actuator, but I just couldn't identify which one. Had to research which actuators do what and which last numbers are associated with each.

      Gas Prices

      Took me FIFTEEN MINUTES to find this. Isn't that a problem? On the mainstream media I can INSTANTLY find 100 articles bashing President Trump ... but when it comes to TRUTH in American corporate news & search engines, it's carefully filtered to support ONE SIDE. A Republic cannot survive like this! Incredible! Even all the AI searchers out there failed as well! ChatGPT said it needed more details on the video that I provided a DIRECT LINK to! I thought AI was the be-all, end-all?? I had to dig it up myself. This should be FRONT PAGE NEWS!!! 🤬   Here's the statement directly from our President:     Glenn Beck's reporting on the operation:   https://glennbeck.com/watch/videos/trump-just-revealed-a-massive-military-secret-that-lowered-gas-prices   In case that link doesn't work, here's the YouTube link:

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade.

      Oil Consumption

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.
