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

The lineup

 

[Busa Dave]

It is being built and anticipate delivery of the new 2024 Chevy HD ADD front bumper (no winch) in 4 weeks. The factory bumpers front, and rear are very fragile, and my front already had a lot of chips and a couple of small dings. There is no place to mount any off-road lights either. Oh well will not miss it at all.

Nothing major, but says a lot.

Is that mirrored tint?

Is that mirrored tint?

Nope. Just 5% xpel tinted.

used carlink AI box to connect wired android auto, and then through that connected car play.

Much easier way to do this. Instructions are below
How to Get Full-Screen Apple CarPlay in Your GMC Sierra (Should Work on All Models)

1. ⁠Purchase this device from Amazon
2. ⁠Unpair your iPhone from the truck.
3. ⁠Plug the device into the center console USB-A port. It will connect through CarPlay using a wired connection and will initially display in half-screen mode.
4. ⁠Accept the generic agreements for CarPlay.
5. ⁠Connect to Wi-Fi (either your phone’s hotspot or another network).
6. ⁠Go to settings and update the device.
7. ⁠Once updated, connect your iPhone via Bluetooth.
8. ⁠insert microSD card with loaded android auto file - follow instructions here
9. ⁠A pop-up will appear on the screen asking if you want to switch to Android Auto mode. Select “Yes.” The device will reboot.
10. ⁠You should now be in full-screen Android Auto mode. You can stop here if you prefer Android Auto, which is quite good as it supports video apps like Netflix and YouTube. You can set up your phone to automatically turn on the hotspot every time you connect to the device, ensuring seamless tethering when you get into the car. Continue for CarPlay setup.
11. ⁠Go into settings, click “Other,” then click “Boot Up App.” Set it to Autokit (wireless CarPlay).
12. ⁠Done! Now, when you get into the car, it will automatically start up Android Auto, followed by the wireless CarPlay app. This process takes about 7 seconds with no intervention from you. Performance is excellent even though it is wireless. Enjoy!

Looks like Toys R Us! Does Apple have graphics for grown ups, preferably men?

I have been using these for years in vehicles without CarPlay. They are good devices, however they do not function as well as the built-in CarPlay. They can be laggy at times and the connection time is greater than the OEM integration. I have one that I took out of my wife's car that we just traded in if anyone wants it.

I'll take it! Wife like to play the games in Android Auto when she is sitting with the truck running when I running to a store or something real quick. She would absolutely love watching Netflix movies on long trips. PM me and let me know details

New KO3's installed and new alignment completed. The tires are most definitely quieter than the GY Wrangler tire that was on it. Not supposed to rain again til tomorrow to know how they do in the wet. New alignment was done just to rule out some dirfting I had. Nothing really changed but they almost got it dead on to GM specs. At least that is what they said it was when I asked about it lol. See below:

Also changed the air filter. Wasn't quite time for it but I dont know what environments the previous owner had it in so figured why the hell not. Now I know what is in it and when.

Plasti dipped the Silverado on the tailgate. I am thinking of doing the 6.2L in red that is on the scoop.

I went with the red and black lettering & also chose the American flag bow tie wrap I guess it's just a matter of choice. Gott agree, I don't really like the stock

Got an unbelievable deal on some tires. Couldn’t pass up the opportunity.

I’ll make an actual thread/post when I have more seat time but initial feedback is overwhelmingly positive.

Burn the stock tires with fire. Utter garbage.
