What have you done to your Silverado ZR2 this week? 🛠️

Nice!! Details as far as where you can get it and if it comes in other colors? Also can you still feel the heat function of the steering wheel with it wrapped? (I'm from Florida... like I really need a heated steering wheel... However it did Snow here this year... First time in Decades! lol)
Same here. We broke the state record for snow lol.

I got it from East Detailing (now Texas Custom Interiors) https://texascustominterior.com/. Heat function still works, you have multiple options on color and material.
 
I’m going to order one tomorrow. Did you order Alcantara top and bottom with perforated genuine leather on the sides?
I went with the suede and perforated leather on the side. I opted not to do the Alcantara, I had it in a Cadi, initially it felt great but it's susceptible to staining and its not very durable.

I might be better off just getting leather on the top and bottom and perforated on the sides. How does the yellow stitch and stripe look against the factory yellow? Between work and my kids sports I have a feeling I’d make a mess out of the suede in no time. Idk why that didn’t click in my head about the alcantara.

Matches perfectly
 
Installed a Kicker sub and trimmed the factory under seat box to retain a little bit of extra storage. I installed the kicker bass knob and I’m pretty happy with the output for it being such a small amp. Install was incredibly easy.

Perfect, got it ordered tonight. Went with Genuine black leather top and bottom and genuine perforated leather on the sides with a yellow stripe at the top and yellow stitching. Was to worried I would make a mess out of the suede

I installed a Pyle Hideaway 8 inch sub in my truck in the same location as your Kicker. I think the Kicker is only rated at 150w max, the Pyle is listed at 600w max/ 300w rms, although the actual numbers are probably considerably lower than that. Even though it is probably putting out less power than what they list, it still shakes my truck when the bass hits and is an incredible upgrade to the factory Bose system. Overall, the system now sounds pretty damn good with the new sub installed. The key to getting it to sound good is getting the sound adjusted properly so the bass doesn't overpower the existing Bose system. It took me about a week to get the sound adjusted properly between the stock EQ and the subs bass controls.

The Pyle Hideaway 8 inch sub only cost $180, and for that price, I am very happy with it.

Kicker is rated at 200 watts. I’ve only played with it in the driveway at this point but I’m sure I’ll have to play with it to find the sweet spot where I want it.

Can you let us know what you ended up using for the stock EQ matched with the sub?

Oh, didn't know it was 200w. I must have been thinking of the Kicker Hideaway 8 inch sub. I'm sure you'll find the sweet spot soon enough. If I remember correctly, there are 3 dip switches on that amp. It's recommended to have all 3 switches in the up position.

There were 6 dip switches. I had to move 2 of them up so they’re all in the on position.

Yep! I've never had that set up. I only know info from what I have read online. For some reason I thought there were only 3 dip switches. But, either way it looks like you got it all figured out.
 
Removed the Rock Sliders and steps and installed the BoostAutoParts M2 Lumasteps. I went with the sequential turn signal, puddle lights and grey hexagon step cushions. Install is very straightforward. Only one, two wire harness goes inside the cab on the passenger side. The rest of the wiring is under the hood. The motors BoostAuto uses are very heavy duty looking, so hopefully they'll hold up to use well.

Nice! I like the integrated lighting, never cared for amp’s lights. Any idea how they compare to the amps?
 
Finished my full cam package.
Truck has

BTR V220 full Cam Package

Long tubes

High flow cats

S&B Cold Air intake

Borla Atak Catback

Full Dyno Tune

TCM Tune

Whipple 3.0 ordered ( will forge the whole bottom end while the whipple is being installed)

Warranty is completely Void after jailbreaking the ECM And TCM. That’s always a question by people interested.

Truck made 537 to the Crank yesterday on the Dyno and that Dyno was Stingy.

July at the latest. We will smoke the TRX and the Raptor R. Guaranteed. I’ll post videos.

Let’s go ZR2 Fans.

Sounds great! Can't wait to see the final results.
