Mike1220's 2014 Sierra

Looks great, do the front and rear now stick out the same? Headlights are awesome looking, wish I had some. I guess save my pennies look for good deal on headlight assemblies and replace wiring harness, and then start modding

Yes they do match now. The front almost looks like it might be out by like another 1/8" but honestly, that could just be my mind playing tricks on me haha

You can get the replicas for pretty dang cheap (relatively speaking of course). OEMs are like $600-700 per side but replicas can be found for $600 for the pair.

I have 1.5" spacers on my lifted truck. No trimming of stock studs bc the aftermarket wheels had pockets for them

SgtShiv · September 7, 2015

1/8" isn't even worth concerning yourself over unless someone is ocd it wouldn't be noticed.

May have to look more into it at some point, I really like the added light up front even if it's mostly appearance. Light bar and fogs come first for the front lighting and who knows how many things before those.

which wheels are they? My Fuels didnt have pockets for studs

If there even is a difference than its only that, and if there is then Im not worried about it, but I do think that they are actually even and its just my mind playing a trick since they have been uneven for a while now.

The light bars do change the front end! The fog lights are awesome too! Although I feel like I should recommend for people to try the new XBLEDs from TheRetrofitSource before they try these! They are a bit cheaper, and they are more PNP. I think they are direct fit with no cutting or trimming of anything required. AND THEY ARE A PURER WHITE. Unlike the Rigid pods which have a blueish tint to the lights.

I have Moto Metals on the 02

Cool I may have to check them out, open to suggestions and don't need the most expensive just for the name of the box. I was considering some cheaper Cree's like I did on the Jeep, way cheaper than the Rigid and seem to have held up pretty well so far.

Trucks looking good.

I just looked into those XB LED fog lights. I might have to pick up a set.

Been out of the truck "game" for a bit and didn't know that there was a bunch more aftermarket support now.

theres a good bit more now, noticed you made 31K miles in your the last 2 or 3 months and have been swamped with the car, gotta get that thing ready cause its time is coming up soon huh? The aftermarket marketplace is growing steadily for these trucks.

if you just want something tht works (like I originally wanted) then id say just about anything on ebay or amazon should be good. If you want something that is some great quality, performance, and great priced, then check out HarborLED. Its on my list of things to do to change out my lgiht bars and add more lights from HarborLED in the future. Planning to get the new bumpers at Christmas time hopefully and will have some light holes to fill in the new bumpers(: Also working with member 14GFXSilverado and a buddy of mine to design a slick new way to add some lights on the sides of the trucks but they will be hidden when not in use. Trial and error testing, hoping to get at least a prototype by the summer haha. Not gonna be a for sale thing, but we can provide parts to make it happen if anyone is interetested once we get it working and finalized

31k in 14 months... I drive too damn much. Work is 35 miles one way. Hopefully that'll change in a few years when we move closer to my work. I need a shop/giant garage for my current and future plans.

Car consumes almost all of my personal time outside work. It stays at my moms which is 45 miles away. Competing next year, so I need to get it finished up.

I just washed my truck today and was starting to think about adding some new stuff to it most likely next year. It's taken a beating from all the miles. Front end looks terrible, rock chip city.

Those LED fog lights look nice, I might buy a set and check them out. Then I'll probably want to retro fit my headlights.

Another note, fuel is cheap here. Filled up with E85 for $1.78/gal. MPGs suck, but the power increase is nice.

It's a T-Rex X-Metal series grille, it is available in Polished

Thanks mike! My other question is what 10's did you buy for your truck you seemed to be pleased with them and Im having mixed feelings about if I would like shallow mount subs! I been looking at the JL TW series but not entirely sure if they will do as Id like them to do!

gotta get a clear bra man! I need to do the same. Back to school so all my miles are going to and from home. 300 mile round trip on the weekends that I make the trip. I was checking out your car build and it is looking really good, can't wait to see the end results

Do the headlights!! Best thing you'll ever do! I love the FXRs, too bad GM didn't do this from the factory.

$1.78?! Man, we are lucky to see $2.10 for regular unleaded (I always use plus tho haha). Daily driving this big ole thing isn't easy on the wallet haha.

I have the NVXVCW10-4's. I have 2 and love them! They are incredible! IMO, they are as powerful as my old Rockford Fosgate T112D4's I had in my old Yukon. Only thing is that the NVX's are pretty tall, might be able to get a box that fits under the back seat without issue but my box is from Fox Acoustics and you have to lift the back seat by 5/8". Nothing bad or noticeable. But felt it was worth mentioning

how did you go about raising your back seats? I have seen people use square tubing and such and some one on here at one time fabricated seat lifts dont remember who it was now or if they still do it!

I just got the "lift kit" from Fox Acoustics haha. Just some cheap wooden blocks. Looks almost like MDF or Particle board but couldn't tell cause most of it has a cheap bedliner around it. I scratched some of it off to see what the block was made of lol
