    Crew Cab Z71 LTZ with the 5.3. I really wanted the 6.2 but I drive way too much to justify it.20170319_184522.jpg 20170319_184506.jpg :burnrubber:

    Great looking truck. I'm officially jealous. I am sure that'll be my next truck. Hopefully with the 6.2, but they're really hard to find lol

    Ever have problems with the tire carrier? Looking into a BRuteFF or Pelfry to replace my cheaped out rear. My latch jiggles around and looks like it's going to break. I can see the tire shaking around when I hit any kind of bump.. It's bad..

    Never had problems, although If I were to do it again I would go with a full length swing out. It did move a little, nothing crazy but after seeing how stable a full length is, thats the route I'd go. I would also prefer a different style latch, never had issues but it was always a thought in my mind!

    The hitch was removed when I installed the high clearance bumper as it has one built in.

    But yes, originally had a factory tow hitch receiver.

    I know you sold the truck but curious how you reattached the fenders after trimming them?

    If you are careful removing the flares you can reuse the stock clips.

    I was hesitant just using the clips simply because cutting them removes a lot of the other mounting points. Good to know just the clips will hold them in. Thanks!

    SS bolts and finish washers hold up way better.
