Accessories for Fathers Day Gift

[vancealot29]

All,

 

My wife and kids are always looking for gift ideas for Fathers Day.  I realize there are a zillion options and it all depends on taste, but what are some good accessories under $100 that could be given as a gift?  I just got my truck last fall and pretty much only have Husky Liners and a Tonneau, so everything else is fair game.

 

Thanks in advance

Color matched mirror caps?

 

Unless you’ve got a black truck. [emoji38]

Depending what package you have, you could convert some of your lights to LED's. I've got the LTZ, so I'll be converting my front turn signals and reverse lamps to LED lights. The brand is LasFit, and seem to have good reviews. Turn signals and reverse lamps are about ~$60. Obviously if you have the High Country then I believe you're already all set, ha.

Just food for thought.

I have the LTZ too.  I've already done the license plate and reverse lights.  What light did you use for the front turn signals?

So, not sure how accurate they are, but Amazon says this will not work in my truck.

 

When I look up what bulb to use for that on the pinned post, it shows Turn Signal/Marker - W21/5WLL, this bulb is a WY21W.  Is that the same thing?  Sorry for the ignorance, just double checking.

Nah, all good, sir. Amazon says the same thing for mine, but their(LasFit) YouTube video uses that model bulb and their website listed that same part number as well. You can double check their website for accuracy, but Amazon is for sure cheaper.

I’ve had the Lasfits in front for probably a year now. Great, durable lights. You get what you pay for.

 

Other inexpensive ideas...splash guards, bowtie puddle lamps, tailgate letter inlay, hitch cover, stubby antenna, black grill bowtie if you have a gold one, etc etc.

Thanks for the help. 

 

I found this one too, pretty sure its the same bulb you shared. Check out the text on the side of the box, "for off road use only". Tempted to try it for an extra $25

Thanks for the input. 

 

I looked on the GM website and saw p/n's 84133640 and 84293092.  Besides price, what is the difference between these two? I could have overlooked it, but they look identical, except for the $30 price difference.

 

Thanks again.

84293092 is the tiny little one for the corner of the grill on WT & Custom trims. Since you have an LTZ, you need the bigger, more expensive one (84133640).

Thanks. I filtered the results to only show items for my truck and it brought back both emblems. I will add this to the list.

Console organizer. The GM Accessories one is right around $50 if I'm remembering right.

Bed rail caps and console organizers. I just picked an organizer and the caps myself off Amazon.

I added these to my list.  I haven't looked at the front yet, but I assume installation is similar to the rear?  2 screws and the assembly pops right out?  I don't really want to take off 2 or 3 other things to complete the task.....primarily cause I would probably break something in the process.
