Armordillo tire mount is done, and exhaust tips switched to black also. 

 

Crazy to think the hardest, tedious task was the exhaust tips. Those three bolts are damn near impossible If you don't have a ratcheting wrench I would not attempt.

Been a bit since I have updated. I currently have been doing work underneath the vehicle. Airbags, compressor, aux fuel tank connection etc...

 

Today I am putting in the Rough Country grill lights. 

Can you post more about the aux fuel tank and connections?

Just wondering how where the grille lights to install.  Where do you put the switch? Also how is that RC lift kit treating you? I hear mixed reviews not sure where I wanna go with lifting it. Thanks.

How easy was the install?  I have a 3.0 L Duramax myself with a very similar lift and would love to know about the extra fuel capacity

It took about 30 minutes to an hour with the add-on kit for the quick adapt.

The grille lights took about 3 hours to install. I added the upfitter OEM switches were simple to wire in with that. I have no complaints about the lift. However, I lost no ride quality to each their own, which impressed me the most. I am also impressed that everyone told me I couldn't fit the 35s with that lift. I love to prove people wrong HAHA. The math made sense in my head, and it did work well.

I might have missed it, but did you go with Rough country shocks/struts or stock?  Awesome stance, this is what I want my new truck to look like… I have eibach on my current trucks and love them… concerned about rough ride…

Rough country with the base kit so I kept the ride quality, was not affected at all.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
