What have u done to your 2020 hd

rongotti · June 4, 2020

Did you add the rear light bar or have the dealer do it?

Had the dealer install it for me.

That looks great, man. I've been looking at the 3" leveling/lift kits but this is enough to make me think about the 5" kits. How is the Zone kit on the freeway?

Also - gotta love the look of the GMC front end. Not just the grill that has been talked about a lot in comparison with the Chevrolet 2500, but the lines on the whole front end. The proportions on the lift/wheels really come together well with the body lines of the fenders and hood. Nice choice on the upgrades.

Thank you! We drove it 900 miles home to Florida from Illinois and loved it. I thought my girl would hate me by the time we made it home, but the ride was NIIIIIICE. Maybe the Fox 2.0 shocks make that big of a difference, but this is my first lifted truck with big wheels and first 2500 and I am absolutely over the moon! Pull the trigger, you won't regret it! Oh AND it fits in my garage [emoji13]

Your truck looks great with the black trim that you're adding!

I had my red hooks re-powdered black and it made a huge difference.

Yours would look better black IMHO. To me, they look like nipple rings on your truck!

Nipple rings ahahaha! I just black out the gmc and it looks twenty times better. When I get time I’ll do the rings.

Hi -

What dash speakers are these? Did you find OEM plug adapters or did you have to cut? How do these sound? Wanting to do them too, just haven't find right ones yet.

Thanks!

Kenwood eXcelon 2 3/4”. Didn’t find OEM plugs, but soldered them. Sounds good, can tell the diff with the highs, sub also sounds good. It’s not a JL10W6, definitely budget but plug and play as well as bolt on fitted sub make it worth it. I’m happy with it.

Well fellas, I'm deployed again and missing the truck. Figured I'd get back on here and see what you're doing to yours and I like what I'm seeing, so figured I'd share.

2020 2500HD High Country, Black on Black 6.6 Duramax. First went to black emblems and added all weather mats from the dealer. (Picked this truck up in Oct 2019, had to wait for mods to hit the market, so it started slow) FTS 9" lift with Fox shocks and resi's. 24x14 Arkon's on 38x15.5 Fury tires. Amp research XL steps and Bodyguard A2L Baja bumper. Bak Revolver X2 bed cover with Bedrug bed mat. Nicoko bumper lighting and rock lights, with Oracle wheel lights. MTI Acoustics under-seat sub enclosure with JL 12TW3 powered with JL RD500/1 to add deeper sound to the BOSE system. Did emblem delete and stainless steel sleeve on the exhaust tip. Also changed license and reverse lighting to daylight led bulbs.

Probably do some more minor accent lighting and the spare tire delete Hornblasters 540 next. Would like to get differential cover swapped out and maybe some tuning in the future, just didn't want to be the first to mess with the electronics. Also, if i can get GM to confirm that the DVD headrests marked for the High Country actually have the embroidered logo on the front, will install those too for the boys.

Keep up the inputs, always excited to see what I can do next!

Good looking setup!

Added an Undercover Armor Flex cover and the Undercover Swing Case. The Line X addition to the cover seems to be a great idea. I previously had the Undercover Ultra Flex on my 1500 and it was awesome. Hoping the new one lives up to the old one.

That's the look I'll be going for when I build my bumper. It will also have receiver recessed into it so I can maneuver my boat easier in the back yard or other storage. On hold until I get some house projects out of the way first. Hoping I can get started before winter. Also plan to get a retrax tonna cover and build a rectangular tube light bar/roll bar.

Just picked up my new Denali a month ago. So far had the sled deck built for it Ceramic coated, blacked out gmc logos, blacked out side marker lights, hardwired a radar detector in now just waiting for BDS to release their 4”lift kit to get some new rims and rubber.

What’d you use to black out the side markers? They look pretty dark.

I blacked out mine with "VViViD Air-Tint Dark Black Headlight Taillight Tint Air-Release Vinyl Wrap Film 17.75 Inches x 60 Inches Roll"

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GQRQ996/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_S3HgFbB7C6WBV

It's been a few months and it's holding up well so far. Can't beat blacking them out for less than $15 dollars.
