I originally wanted the Denali Ultimate, but it wasn't available to order. Then I Ordered an AT4X, but it was going to take 4-5 months to build and deliver, but no guarantee. So I changed my order to a fully loaded AT4 that was dealer ordered with the engine and color I wanted. So I was able to get it in a month. I was planning on changing the rear bumper on the AT4X to the one from AT4, so I could have exhaust with quad tips. I realized that I didn't really need the AT4X  because the main difference is the lockers and suspension, as I wouldn't take it rock crawling or serious off-roading for the departure angles to matter. 

 

 

 

Engine - 6.2l (Read somewhere that GM has stopped the production of the 6.2L V8 Engines until next year or possibly longer. Lucky to have mine, just before the announcement) 

TIRES - 305/55R22 (35.2inch tall by 12 inch wide)- Nitto Recon Grappler Tires

WHEELS - GMC 22 Inch Aluminum 5-Split-Spoke Wheel - Part# 84799395

EXHAUST - BORLA S-Type with Quad Exhaust tips - Part# 140774BC

My next upgrade is adding the GMC kicker subwoofer to the truck.

 

 

Truck exhaust sounds really good! So glad I went with that exhaust. No drone, Quad tips look better than the HDMI exhaust tips.

 

Wheel and tires are actually smidge taller than 35inch. Toyo Open Country 35X12.5X22 are actually 34.5 inch tall, they have an easier time fitting than these Nitto Recon Grapplers. 

 

The weight of the Stock 275/65R18 tires and wheels was 80lbs.

The weight of the new 305/55R22 tires with 22inch GMC wheels are about 106lbs.

Difference of 27lbs extra per wheel. Which isn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Looks good!  I opted for the GM catback and intake along with Grabber A/TX LT305/55R20.  Big weight penalty over factory for sure.  Massacres gas mileage.  Before 20-23 was no problem at 75.  Now lucky to get 17 over the course of a tank at those speeds.

The GM catback is supposably the Borla Touring exhaust. I went with a little more aggressive S-type. I can't even imagine the Atak exhaust. That would get old quick.

 

I haven't driven it much on the new tires to see the fuel difference. One of my gripes is 90L tank. My F150 had 130L tank.

Anyone using the hypertech inline speedo calibrator?

 

Does it also adjust the fuel mileage along with the speedo?

The truck looks great, wheels and tires definitely make it look killer.

Looks great, but what color is it? Hard to tell if it’s black due to some of the reflections or titanium that looks black when it’s overcast.

It's titanium. Apparently I was the first guy to get that color it in western Canada. Glad it turned out to be a fantastic choice.

Yea for sure. People give it a second look and ive been asked a few times what options those wheels are. Unfortunately GM doesn't offer 35s from factory.

truck looks great, question, how do you like the wide side steps? I have order those for my new truck but I start to think that they look little out of place ....

I really like these steps. They were part of the premium package I believe.

 

I'm coming from auto-deploying steps on F150, and compared to those these are narrower.

I originally ordered my 22 AT4 in this color before I switched to the Desert Sand.

    • It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.       
    • Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!
    • If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.
    • My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.    
    • I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
