Thanks! It's been absolutely awesome so far.

So I may or may not have ordered a 1" lift spacer for the front and the metal skid plates that are on the ZR2...

Nice, the trucks always look better once they're leveled

You still work at the firehouse on the way into Hoboken ?


If you never worked there ignore me, for some reason I feel like you did

Yeah, that's me. You've asked me that before, lol.

I’m getting forgetful at my elder age (I’m 25 now !)

I ask Bc I drove past today on my way to hoboken for some day drinking

Nice. Not in the firehouse today, took the day off because it's my daughter's birthday.

So I may or may not have received said ZR2 skid plates and 1" lift for the front of the truck, and I may or may not be installing it tomorrow...

I may or may not check for before and after photos of what may or may not happen....

It'll be like Schrodinger's Cat! Except it's a truck. And in my driveway, not a box.

I may or may not give you crap for any delays in posting.

I may or may not have just finished.

A little chilly when I started:

Now to source an alignment.

The difference isn't as subtle as I thought it would be but I'm OK with that. Lift is right around 1.25" in the front, so there's still a little rake but that's OK; I use my truck like a truck from time to time.

Where are the pics??

I fumble-fingered the image links, now working.

In the spirit of the original pic when I got it home, here's a 'what it looks like now':

GM factory rake is a way of life. The lift is subtle but looks good.

Looks nice!

What else does your future forecasting device tell you????

Needs moar tire.

Nick: I know. Seriously considering a set of Goodyear Duratracs for it.

BMX: My future forecasting device tells me that I may or may not be talking myself into tires sooner than later.

I was sitting here, bored and wondering what I was going to do about the chrome stuff on my truck, and the bright yellow chevy emblems.

Chevy makes blacked out emblems, but that's $$ than can be better used elsewhere.

Then I remembered that I have a roll of carbon fiber vinyl wrap that I got for something else a few years ago, put on a shelf and promptly forgot about.

I dug it out. Wanted to try a bit of it on *something*. Looked around and found my key fob.

Considering that this took me all of 3.43 minutes, I think it turned out OK. A little heat from a blow dryer helped with the curves and some quick work with a semi-dull razor knife dressed up the edges.

Should work OK on the emblems, I think. Definitely going to plasti-dip the chrome badges. I have black and gunmetal plasti-dip, can't find anthracite around here.

That came out great, I'm in love with the 3M Carbon Fiber wrap, I still have a roll in the closet. I might pick up some similar black to do my mirrors on my Silverado, I hate chrome.

Fob looks good and makes me want to start screwing with my truck lol.

Arock - Yeah, not a big chrome fan.

BLS - LOL, you can't pin that on me.

Whatever comes is your doing.

pretty sure u can tune the **** out of these lol we were talkin about the 2.8 duramax at work today

That looks badass :lol:
