ITGuy's 2003 Sierra 1500/2500 4x4 RCLB Build Thread

[ITGuy]

I'll check them out. I'm probably headed for 35" territory though on the tires + lift to fit them.
Very close to pulling the trigger on lift. Just waiting on funding. I have a buyer for my motorcycle.
Shipping it to Iceland! :yarly: Working out the details this week.

I'll probably build another one over the winter, but that is for a different forum

Rims.

I'll come back to this post like I did the first time around, but this time the choices are pretty good. Can't really go wrong with any of the suggestions here. I'd be willing to take a look at some nice polished / cleared rims too. They will not be run in the winter if i can help it.

I am looking at running 35" tires, as I mentioned before. Still leaning towards some big General Grabbers w/ Red lettering.

Machined Methods

ION 183's

Gear 726's

Moto 962's

Fuel Hostage

Fuel Maverick Deep dish

 

[Big Tex]

methods :imo:

 

[ITGuy]

I really liked Machined after seeing it on Wickedmayhems ride. Probably would pop nicely on my red truck.

 

[Huck]

Like you said, can't really go wrong with any of them but I vote methods too.

 

[ITGuy]

I'll do a photochop of methods and grabbers.

 

[roundsy]

Great choices, hostages are a bit played out but you can't really go wrong with any if them. Methods if you want a machined look, gears if you are going the polished route would be my vote.

 

[GreystoneCC]

I vote Mavericks

 

[Ginger]

i still love 962's


and i told you that rustoleum stuff is the way to go. its slow to dry but looks great

 

[ITGuy]

Yeah this is first time I have used it. It sticks to everything.. Rust, Metal, that gm undercoating, wood, concrete, my shorts, sneakers, hands, baseball cap lol. After reading about it online I had to get a couple of gallons.

It should be cured this evening. I was hoping I didn't topcoat too early. Probably around 18-20hrs before topcoat.

 

[Ginger]

your fine.


to tell you the truth i only used the top coat on mine.

Le Spacer

Ready to add lower bumper.

Had to remove foglights, as I forgot to mod lower bumper because it hits the frame issed: This thing is a bitch with one person.
I'll remove it and try again. :bleh:

Annoying

 

[Ginger]

i never put those brackets back on when i body lifted lol

 

[James Pate]

I say go for a chrome rim. But truck is looking good!

 

[ITGuy]

Closer. Another spacer and a washer should do the trick. I will need to remove the black 'cap' in the center of the lower bumper. It's in the way. Not using HD grill yet, still need to dremel it.

Also need some stainless nuts & bolts for fog light mounts. Will pick them up after work so I can re-install them.

 

[Ginger]

what do you need to dremel on the grill?

 

[GeoffSFAs10]

You gotta dremel off that black thing on the bottom of the grill that fills the bumper gap.

 

[Ginger]

i thought that just clipped on.

 

[ITGuy]

I'll double check, but I thought it was once piece. I put it in my basement for safe keeping.

 

[Ginger]

i never pulled one appart with that spacer,

glad your ditching it, around here the cool thing is to color match it :facepalm:
