Yeah I'm going to mount them back on this week now that I have the 1.5" spacers
Yep to clear 100% without trimming. I'm going to see how much they rub leveled though
Swapped in a chrome tail gate handle while my textured one is gone to be sanded smooth and painted.
is that whole thing metal, or just that chrome sticky shit?Swapped in a chrome tail gate handle while my textured one is gone to be sanded smooth and painted.
I only ask cause I can't find those fucking things anywhere. I want to have the chrome/billet handle with the painted bucket and trim piece.Do you really have to ask? I feel like you should know me better than that lol.
I got mine off of eBay but it did take me a bit to find one. I'll txt you the link if I can find it.
Few pics to update the thread before the truck goes into storage this week and I get started on the lift install.
Here I thought I was the only one that buys welds and then never puts them on
Maybe for Christmas they'll be under the tree and ready lol. They are going to a repair shop this week to get a bit of work done on a couple of them and then to company that does professional polishing the week following.
Back to the stock 20s with 1.5" spacers.
Hostages are gone now as well
Welds are gonna look so damn good. I love those wheels. What's the paint name again? It is one of my top 5 for sure
Thanks! They've always been my favorite so I was pretty excited to get a set. The paint is called deep ocean blue metallic for Chevys and stone blue metallic for GMCs.
Me either. It's becoming more a process than I was hoping but it will be worth it in the end.
Few updates:
Getting ready to order a '14/15 fts kit for this truck as I found a local buyer for brucebruce's old one that I bought for my nnbs. Most of the parts are the same as I previously discussed so I'm just going to swap the chrome components and coilovers with my new kit, then sell the other kit as the basic fts nnbs kit.
My weld cheyennes still need to go for polishing and the plan is to take them to the shop tomorrow or at some point within the next week.
I'm going to order a CAI in the next week as well and I've narrowed my options down to an Airaid Jr kit or the afe full dry CAI system. I had the Airaid Jr in my nnbs and it seemed to respond well but part of me wants to try a full system this time. Any recommendations?
Also decided that I'm going to add the high country chrome front skid plate to replace my silver z71 one. Was debating painting it blue or black but I didn't really like how those photoshops turned out. At some point I would also like to upgrade to leather, redo my exhaust and get a tune but I think those are lower priorities still.
