We picked up a 2015 xlt a few weeks ago and I need to man it up a bit. I told her she could pick what ever color she wanted as long as it wasn't pink,,,
Well she did good. She picked the Carabeau Met. with the beige & black interior.
I started buying stuff for it to help make it more of "my" style with out going overboard. After all it is her daily driver.
So first thing ordered was a rough country 2.5" leveling kit. This was done to make room for the 17x9 procomps and 285/70 tires that will be finding there way on it. Trying to decide on the right tire (more on that in another post, in different forum).
The next thing was a trifold toneau cover from American.
It was actually the first thing installed. Pretty happy with the fit. I will be adding additional "D" seal across the headboard of the bed. The cover doesn't comform well up front and there is a gap of about a 1/4". No biggie.
Picture coming soon.
Had the windows tinted. My guy does an amazing job.
More to come as I can progress.
Next will be the install of the leveling kit and new wheel/tire combo.
Love the truck. To each their own but please don't put those wheels on that truck. It isn't a K5 Blazer with a 15" body lift.
Haha I thought the same exact thing when reading this post. I would of went with the stock wheels and saved my $$ before going with those wheels. Those have old school Chevy written all over them.
Not the best picture to show but this is the same wheel and tire combo on a f150. I don't think it looks bad at all. I don't want the stock wheels... So something has to go in its place. What are my options? The same moto metal wheel that is on every f150 around. Seems like a lot of trucks have the same style wheel on them. Maybe a different color or size but same five or six or even twelve spoke wheels. I want my truck to stand out from all the others. And it will. After all it is MY truck.
One more thing, I didn't mention yet. They will be powder coated satin black to match all of the black trim on the truck. No shiny stuff on this one. Maybe I should have added that in the original post.
