2023 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4x AEV Build

Installed some BORA 3/8 wheel spacers today. With the 35x11.5 Nitto Ridge Grapplers and the spacers, the tires now are completely flush with the fenders. Also gives me additional clearance from the UCA. Suttle but noticeable.

Looks good. How loud are those tires? I like them but I'm confident with BFG KO3's with their lack of noise so I'm leaning that way. I currently have KO2's that have cupping from the PO so that are louder than they should be. I will be getting new tires at some point.

They are less noisy then the factory Goodyear MT's that came on the truck. However they would be noisier then the BFG's. That said I love the Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Fantastic tire.
 

I’d never own a black vehicle but boy does that look good!

I’ve spent all day looking at replacement front bumpers that will give me some clearance up front.

Black can be difficult to keep looking good. I do go out of my way to never use a car wash that touches the pain, always use a touchless car washes. When washing, I run it through the touchless car wash first, then foam the truck, let sit for 10-12 min. After that foam again, then wash. It's a pain.

Desert Does It molle panel installed today. Awesome quality, and design. Just quickly installed it, not really setup. However will work for now till I iron it all out and set it up to my liking.

So this setup may work out perfectly for my needs. I have three tools I normally conceal carry and with the magnet setup this will allow me to easily swap between all three when needed. My normal carry is my glock 19, but my truck gun that always resides in my truck unless i will be partaking in alcohol is my XD9. Then on rear occasions i could have my M&P full size on me.

Using the truck to over its max payload. With the air bags, she ran and hauled like a champ. Step stones, 38.6lbs x 35 of them = 1351lbs. Air bags kept her dead level.

Ahhh, where is the pallet and forks? That hurts just looking at the pictures.
Lol it was on a pallet, however they couldn't find the guy who drives the forklift. I didn't feel like waiting so just loaded them myself. After I unloaded them, hosed and washed the bed ... just like new, no dmg.

Venom DRL's. Only thing I wish is that they would stay amber 100% of the time. Other then that, super easy install, took about 5min.

Did you have to get new studs or are the factory ones long enough to get a full 6 rotations on the lug nuts? I went with the .5inch bora spacers
