That looks great, man.  I've been looking at the 3" leveling/lift kits but this is enough to make me think about the 5" kits.  How is the Zone kit on the freeway? 

 

Also - gotta love the look of the GMC front end.  Not just the grill that has been talked about a lot in comparison with the Chevrolet 2500, but the lines on the whole front end.  The proportions on the lift/wheels really come together well with the body lines of the fenders and hood.  Nice choice on the upgrades.

Thank you! We drove it 900 miles home to Florida from Illinois and loved it. I thought my girl would hate me by the time we made it home, but the ride was NIIIIIICE. Maybe the Fox 2.0 shocks make that big of a difference, but this is my first lifted truck with big wheels and first 2500 and I am absolutely over the moon! Pull the trigger, you won't regret it! Oh AND it fits in my garage [emoji13]d3949daab75b60e30f5676f9eb5396d6.jpg

Your truck looks great with the black trim that you're adding!

 

I had my red hooks re-powdered black and it made a huge difference.

 

Yours would look better black IMHO.  To me, they look like nipple rings on your truck!

Hi - 

 

What dash speakers are these?  Did you find OEM plug adapters or did you have to cut?  How do these sound?  Wanting to do them too, just haven't find right ones yet.

 

Thanks!

Kenwood eXcelon 2 3/4”. Didn’t find OEM plugs, but soldered them. Sounds good, can tell the diff with the highs, sub also sounds good. It’s not a JL10W6, definitely budget but plug and play as well as bolt on fitted sub make it worth it. I’m happy with it.

Well fellas, I'm deployed again and missing the truck.  Figured I'd get back on here and see what you're doing to yours and I like what I'm seeing, so figured I'd share.

 

2020 2500HD High Country, Black on Black 6.6 Duramax. First went to black emblems and added all weather mats from the dealer. (Picked this truck up in Oct 2019, had to wait for mods to hit the market, so it started slow)  FTS 9" lift with Fox shocks and resi's.  24x14 Arkon's on 38x15.5 Fury tires.  Amp research XL steps and Bodyguard A2L Baja bumper.  Bak Revolver X2 bed cover with Bedrug bed mat.  Nicoko bumper lighting and rock lights, with Oracle wheel lights.  MTI Acoustics under-seat sub enclosure with JL 12TW3 powered with JL RD500/1 to add deeper sound to the BOSE system.  Did emblem delete and stainless steel sleeve on the exhaust tip. Also changed license and reverse lighting to daylight led bulbs.

 

Probably do some more minor accent lighting and the spare tire delete Hornblasters 540 next.  Would like to get differential cover swapped out and maybe some tuning in the future, just didn't want to be the first to mess with the electronics.  Also, if i can get GM to confirm that the DVD headrests marked for the High Country actually have the embroidered logo on the front, will install those too for the boys.

 

Keep up the inputs, always excited to see what I can do next!

Good looking setup!

Added an Undercover Armor Flex cover and the Undercover Swing Case. The Line X addition to the cover seems to be a great idea. I previously had the Undercover Ultra Flex on my 1500 and it was awesome. Hoping the new one lives up to the old one.

That's the look I'll be going for when I build my bumper. It will also have receiver recessed into it so I can maneuver my boat easier in the back yard or other storage. On hold until I get some house projects out of the way first. Hoping I can get started before winter. Also plan to get a retrax tonna cover and build a rectangular tube light bar/roll bar.

Just picked up my new Denali a month ago. So far had the sled deck built for it Ceramic coated, blacked out gmc logos, blacked out side marker lights, hardwired a radar detector in now just waiting for BDS to release their 4”lift kit to get some new rims and rubber.

What’d you use to black out the side markers? They look pretty dark.

I blacked out mine with "VViViD Air-Tint Dark Black Headlight Taillight Tint Air-Release Vinyl Wrap Film 17.75 Inches x 60 Inches Roll"

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GQRQ996/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_S3HgFbB7C6WBV

It's been a few months and it's holding up well so far. Can't beat blacking them out for less than $15 dollars.d8d044780b9e111dc93a426cf09c6144.jpg1ae7f90e9d6a66ff9cad7e8faff74667.jpg

    • So you're saying toss the baby out with the bathwater? @txab posted article was her take on how AI can be used to manipulate pricing as it already does and has been rebuked by the judiciasry in housing. How AI can be and is used to maximize refinery or even Amazon operations all of which are true but because she is who she is; that makes what she says about what is true, false? Is that something akin to Pre-justice aka prejudice?    Look, I'm first in line to approach all information with caution just because we live in a world where people like to lie about someone or something with such a straight face and in such volume that it makes digging to the truth wearisome. Meaning I understand the skepticisms but if I were to toss out everything a person is for a view they hold then my pool of people to draw wisdom from would be non-existent and I'd be forced to reinvent the wheel daily. Not practical.    "Be innocent as a dove but as cautious as a serpent."    Test each word. Every good lie is part truth or no one would believe it. Find the truth in it and reject what isn't.    On this one, AI is being used to do what has been done by hand for hundreds of years already but at such speed, the point of a computer, that it is more easily monetized. This one wasn't that hard a lift.    I wrote a few formulas in a Lotus 123 program decades ago, a series of linked Macros actually, that allowed a daily inventory to be turned into a running P&L and production plan. Something that took three departments a week to assemble now took the time it takes to input the 'daily changes' in inventory. Later that was ungraded to the more powerful Excel program an and integrated with bar code scanning, inventory to supply was done once per shift. It had a huge impact on production scheduling, Seamless interruption flexibility, inventory error reduction, raw materials cost effective utilization and scrap reduction. Huge improvement in the bottom line. I spent months on that and AI could have done it in minutes. So yes, it not only can be used, they would be foolish to not try. The legality, ethics and morality are not the domain of AI. Humans need to keep a reign on it. 
    • New to this forum.  Also looking to tune a 6L80 and trying to work out all the issues in my transmission swap.  I have a 6.2 diesel (1983) and have removed the TH-400 and about to put in a 6L80 with a TCM-2600 interface and don't have a clue what I doing after that.  Did you (Leatherneck/RAV3) get your slip resolved? I too hate to spend that kind of money on a tuner that hopefully I will not need too many times although from what steelerdude15 added about the HP Tuner being great for diagnostics would be a plus.  I am also from WNC but below you in Columbus.  Any helo would be greatly appreciated.
