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

[securityguy]

Installed BAK Revolver X4S tonneau cover today….Yay!!!

Both plastic end caps and the plastic clips they locking into were broken in shipping….Booo!!!

The install went pretty smooth no real issues other than the broken plastic. Such a shame they can’t make those parts out of aluminum for the price they charge.

I opened a ticket with BAK so hopefully they resolve it quickly.

Anyway, here are some pics…

I had a broken one too on my last one. They shipped a few replacements very quickly. I agree they should be aluminum.

If they were aluminum, it wouldn't match all the other shitty plastic on these trucks tho!

Step 1 complete

I just installed my smart start stop to disable the auto stop. Waiting the 8 hours for it to "program". I said I didn't need to spend $140 when I could remember to hit the button......I was wrong. I never remembered to turn it off till I stopped at a stop sign or red light.

Didn't know that was available. Looks like my first mod.
Mrs EZ's Acura has it too and drives us crazy.
I was ready to super glue the switch down lol

Step 1 complete

Expand please? What wheels and offset? Looks great.

Method 705 18x9 0 offset. And thanks. Step 2 is the boxed cognito upper control arms, peak level and tie-rod sleeves. Step 2 is happening in two weeks. Step 3 is the biggest tires I can cram in. Probably 285/75 or 285/70 fallen wild peak r/t’s.

Once step 2 is done I can compress the suspension and put the tires at full lock and get some measurements. Step 3 won’t be until fall probably. Still got some tread left.

Axess makes a module to bypass the Bose amp. It's got all the DSP stuff on it too. Crossovers, EQ, Time Correction and a control for chime volume.

There's actually a lot of room back there, I even put spacers under the amp bolts to hold them away from the vents so it wouldn't restrict flow too much. There's also a big ass foam piece attached the back of the seat that I removed, that's just sound deadening, and it has some channels for the cabin vents. You can definetly hear them a bit more when closing the door.

I haven't done anything since I got it working, so I still have to set the amp gains, sound deaden, clean up the wiring and get a good ground.

Do you have a link for the Axess module?
I can't find it
I can turn down my chime but it stops about 1/4 way.
Tailgate chime is super annoying too.

Let's see what you have done with your Silverado ZR2!

Well, I am having the subwoofer kit installed . I hope it helps that weak ass Bose setup they call a sound system. It seems like putting a band aid on a laceration. But it is better than nothing.

I agree. Didn't think of testing the sound system when test driving the ZR2. Figured Bose was kick azz
What a disappointment

Finally got my Peak leveling kit put on, stacked a 2” block on top of the factory block in the rear, and 305/70/18 on the factory wheels with 3/8” spacers. Drives like stock, there’s a little bit of rub that’ll I’ll fix with some minor trimming. Overall it’s perfect.

Well I got it upgraded. And it was not worth it. Would have been better off saving the $$ for something else.

anyone have the Brembo brake upgrade?

anyone have the Brembo brake upgrade?

Need to upgrade to 20" rims to fit the brembos. They've been in my cart for 9 months.

No trimming , had the wheels custom made for me and the offset is +12 offset x 20 x 9.5 recessed for Big Brake kit.

Got up early to install the Elevate Rack System today. Took a bit of work to get the tonneau cover to work properly, but good to go now.

Which tonneau do you have? I’m getting the GM REV hard tri-fold and I’m wondering if it will work with the rack system.
