My 2014 LTZ Build Thread

[trademarkteej]

Well as most of you guys know I'm formally known as 07CCSB. I built a 2007 Silverado a while back and had my build thread on here.

This thing was lowered and lifted multiple times lol couldn't make up my damn mind so I finally dumped a lot of money into it and didn't get shit out of it.. Sold it and bought a 2010 Camaro 2SS cause I wanted to "Go Fast". Lol

Put about 50k miles on it then it started giving me problems and depreciated in value a lot so I got rid of it. Didn't have a vehicle for about a month cuz I didn't know what I really wanted. I missed having the space of a truck and not having to swerve every little bump in the rode due to poor ride so I bought a 2014 Silverado LTZ Texas Edition from a local dealership. And I couldn't be more happy with my decision.

I've had the truck for about 2 weeks now and I couldn't be more blessed to have this truck. It's amazing inside and out. Been so busy with work I haven't driven it much or done much to it. Just added tint this past weekend so I decided to make a new username and start a build thread for it.

Limo on all windows and 30 on the shield. Love not rolling around in a fish bowl anymore lmao.
Plans are still undecided and I plan on keeping this truck forever. Most likely going to debadge, shackle and remove rear block in the near future as I'm leaning more towards lowering the truck because it's 2wd and I really don't use it for off roading or shit like that.. Really just miss my brown truck when it was lowlow. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

Anyone know the dude on here that makes custom Billet antennas? I remember buying one from him a while back on GmFullsize forum just can't remember his name or if he still makes them.. Looking to order one if anyone can point me in the right direction.

nice truck would look good lowered a bit on some nice wheels.

it does need some colour matching badly though.

What would you suggest I colormatch?? I plan I running chrome/polished/brushed 22s or 24s in the future so I want to keep some chrome. Really dig the chrome handles, mirror caps and door trim. But definitely wanting to cm plastics.

front bumper and grill and yeah mirrors and another black plastics.

id also only do 22's ive always thought 24's looked weird on the nnbs trucks but that's all preference.

Headlight trim for sure, grille but keep the insert chrome, maybe the black part of the mirrors and bumpers? What wheels are you thinking?

Something like this

Ordered a 5" Spear polished billet antenna from Jared yesterday. Should be here in 2-3 weeks.

This weekend I plan on ordering 2" Mcgaughys rear drop shackles, shock extenders and possibly lowering shocks or air shocks for the rear. Does anyone kno if the stock shocks will work with 2" shackles and removing stock block? If not could someone point me into the right direction.. I don't want a stiff ride

if your antenna doesn't show up in that time frame just let him know, mine didn't show up for a while and I told him and he sent another, he's a great guy to deal with

Was going to order these off Amazon as well. They're Stark 80W 8,000 lumen 6,000k LED replacement bulbs for Low Beams and Fog Lights. I just need someone to confirm these will fit before I spend the $100 on them. Thx
