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

Tinted the the windows with ceramic tint and swapped out the plain Florida tag for one more appropriate.

Mounted up the new Multy mountain bike rack today. It’s a stake pocket mount, and I won’t need to run the rack all winter, so need to find stake pocket covers for the front pockets. Anyone know where to find them? Easy to find rear covers, but not front covers. Thanks in advance!

Those garage doors must be really tall to clear the rack
 
Pissed off at it again. ONstar stopped working. Light was off. Rebooted system and it came back with a check engine light. That stayed on for a day. Pointed to a emissions issue. I am just about done with this truck and all its software issues. Probably going to trade it in and get a BMW X5.
 
Added the wireless keypad to unlock the doors. Also added a stubby antenna and replaced the chrome 6.2 emblems with red and black ones. It’s the little things.

Spent a bunch of money and the truck looks almost the same. But it rides better so that’s nice.

Added deaver r81 rear springs with dirtking long travel shackles. This ended at the same ride height as stock but without blocks. The springs are capable of way more travel if the shocks would allow it.

And I swapped to 17” wheels with zero offset and 35x11.5 tires. The tires are true 35s and c-rated, but the new offset and narrower tire doesn’t rub on the crash bar at full lock anymore.

Here’s a little before/after:

Here’s pics of the new setup. Had to trim studs about 1/4” to fit 1.5” spacers which I didn’t think was necessary reading some posts but I guess. Glad I didn’t go bigger tires as I had to do some trimming of plastic on rear front fenders.

That’s a huge difference. Looks good.
 
Wow. I was almost ready to pull the trigger on 1.5” spacers over 1.25” because I thought there was no cutting required on the bolts and no trimming required for rubbing. Which brand spacers did you get?

Got the flowtie back from the paint shop and installed. Did the first oil change and gave it a bath.

So much … full tint, paint protection film on the full front, smoked tail lights and full JL Audio system with all new JL Audio speakers plus a couple extra in the dash with 2 12” subs and the amps in a stealth box under the back seat because as the saying goes .. “No highs, no lows, must be Bose!”. Got this thing sounding 🤌🏼 now.

Next I’m looking to take care of the bed with a power retractable cover like a powertraxpro xr that I can mount some cross bars over for snowboard season stuff and figure out some additional mounting/tie down points. Need to get a new B&W tow hitch for it too. Also some black/black & red badges to replace the chrome. Then maybe I’ll be done for a minute. Yea, that’ll happen.

This man said "key fob protective case" with his chest out.
 
It’s odd how the amount can vary. I had one on my 2014 Ram R/T and it would fill within 1,000 to 1,500 miles. I have yet to have more than a 1/2” of oil in 1,500 miles on this truck.
It's almost as if it's all sunshine and rainbows marketing. weird.
