Keirsten19332's GMC Sierra 1500

[Keirsten Hickey]

So I figured it was finally time for me to start one of these build posts. I appreciate peoples input and ideas, so feel free to comment and tell me if you have a suggestion. I can't wait complete my build, but is a build ever really complete? Haha! The more I think about it, the more I think of things that I want to do to it.

Anyways...

 

The truck is a Cardinal red 2016 GMC Sierra SLE 5.3L with the Z71 package. It came with 20" rims and a factory bedliner. I bought it in October 2016 and so far I have already done a few phases of the build.

 

Phase 1 was dealer installed

-Magnum RT side steps

-Leveling kit

-GM laser cut floor liners

-Clear 3M bra on front

 

Phase 2 came a week later

-AVS low profile window visors

-Bakflip MX4 tonneau cover

-Drivers side UnderCover SwingCase

 

Phase 3 began towards the end of November

-MBRP Cat back dual exhaust (check out a video of it right after install, before the CAI install. I think it sounds great, not too obnoxious, but you can definitely hear it.

)

-AFE Magnum Force Pro Dry S intake kit

 

Phase 4 (current)

-Bakbox 2 (mail in rebate finally went through!)

-Flush mount LEDs for rear bumper (have them, need to install)

-vinyl wrap interior trim

 

Hope to do soon: Black out bumpers and grille, black out or remove all other chrome on exterior. New wheels and rubber!

 

Always looks nice with a bit of mud!

Finally got the vinyl wrap done. Trying to decide if it's too much red or not. I'm thinking if I had to I could put black vinyl wrap on the wood grain stuff and leave the silver red.

if i had to guess, red is your favorite color?

Nope, actually its green haha. I figured green vinyl wouldn't match a red truck very well.

okay, i see...very well...a word of caution for passengers that go inside your truck, epileptic seizure may be a probability!

I'm looking to have my buddy hydrodip mine. How did you go about removing the steering wheel trim?

There's a screw on each plate on the back of the wheel. I had to remove the buttons on the back of the wheel. They pop off easy. Then once the screws are out you can pry them out. They are easier coming out then going back in. But it is doable

Just a quick update. I know it's been a while and I've been pretty slow with getting stuff done on the truck. Gotta work to pay for it right? Haha. Anyways I got my bumpers and grille blacked out. I'm not done with the blacking out yet but here's a taste. I love the way the grille turned out.
