JBlack151 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Well I finally did it. Today I became the owner of a 2011 Silverado LTZ with the Z71 package. Got an amazing deal that I couldn't pass up. Plus it wasn't black!!! I have some big plans for this thing. And they'll begin when I return from my snowmobiling trip next weekend. Here's a few phone shots I got today. So the driveway is pretty full now. We'll see how long the TBSS stays though. I'm going to try and make it happen. It's a great feeling to start the New Year off with this truck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFairbanks Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Congratulations on the new ride, John. Looks nice. As far as your TBSS goes it always nice to have an extra vehicle, for those what if instances. Good luck with that new ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBlack151 Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 Thanks everyone. Had a good night rolling to dinner with some of our friends in the truck last night. Kept looking out the window at the restaurant to see it parked! On the agenda in the next weeks will be: Tint 6" or 7" lift kit 35's 20 or 22" wheels AMP research steps Bed cover That should hold me over for a while.

Chewy Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Looks great! Are you planning on a de-badge/sticker job? White is the color I'm getting my truck in as well. I miss having a light colored car. My garage queen can be black, but my DD is going to be light colored. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBlack151 Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 Debadging and demolding will happen for sure. Working on getting the lift and wheels/tires taken care of first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A word of advice from someone who has been working with and drives a rig with a decent size tire, please consider re-gearing your axles to accommodate the larger diameter of the tires and the possible weight gain with the wheels. Nothing worse than having a truck all jacked up with some nice meats only to be a dog on the road. Your transmission will thank you for re-gearing as well as your motor for not having to work it as hard. Also that's a lot of lift for 35's! I know it's apples to oranges but on my dads 08 Ram he just has a leveling kit and is running 33" Goodyear Duratrac's. He even said he wouldn't want it any higher due to getting stuff in and out of the bed. I only bring it up since I'm sure there will be a possibility of you hauling the detailing supplies around in the bed. Congrats and TOOO MUCCCCCH WHEEEEL GAPPPPPP! It's only going to get worse with a 6" or 7" lift!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBlack151 Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 I'm re-gearing for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Nice truck (although I might be biased) Interesting that the Z71 still gets the wood interior trim in the LTZ model... I didn't know that. The entire reason for me choosing the Z71 option on mine was to get the silver trim parts on the inside and the color matched front end. I didn't have the $$$ to swing the LTZ so I went LT2 and optioned it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redbeard Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Very nice! A friend of mine just got a very similar one in White Diamond. He's got plenty of clearance for 20s in 33x12.5 tires with just a front leveling kit (2"? lift). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redbeard Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 This is another friend with the same setup. 20s on 33x12.5 Toyo MTs with a front leveling kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
