What did you do to your Trailboss today? 🛠️

Tinted my headlights via headlight armor, did the smoked 30%. Planning to ad lasfit leds. Sounds as people are pretty happy with these and won’t blind oncoming traffic. Or I’ll just upgrade factory bulbs.

I installed Lasfit headlight bulbs in my wife's 2017 Traverse. It's a love/hate relationship with those things. They do blind you if her car is approaching from the opposite direction, but she can see better which is a big deal for somebody driving at night with corrected vision such as glasses or contacts. She's had surgery, but her vision isn't as good as most people's. Still, it's a lot better than it use to be. I have adjusted the headlight to minimize impact for approaching drivers without sacrificing her ability to see, but it'll still blind you.

Thanks for the reply! This is part of the reason I was considering replacing with high quality halogen or maybe some type of xenon bulbs. I’m also installing some fogs soon, likely in the yellow lens.

Just cleaned her up a bit today.

The service department at Simi Chevy said a leveling kit and bigger tire would affect my warranty

I'd question that. I have had my '21 into the Chevy dealership for a brake issue and other items and they covered it every time under warranty and mine is modified. They know it is chipped and fully lifted with bigger tires and all the other modifications down to air lift suspension. I'd call bulls#1t on that.

Probably only in California!

Ready-Lift Leveling Kit, Mickey Thompson's 295/70R18's (had to do some trimming to fit), Mudflap delete, front windows tinted, all cleaned up. That's enough for a while.

Honestly, they're not wrong. It's a modification of the drivetrain system. They have to be able to prove the modification caused the failure. It should not affect the warranty on unrelated systems, such as your radio. This is covered under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, which is federal law. I recommend reading it. With that said, if your dealer is saying that up front I recommend a) finding another dealer that isn't such a tightwad, or b) get familiar with fixing your vehicle yourself or paying for somebody else to do it. I recommend option "b". At some point your warranty is going to expire anyways. I'm at 50,000 miles and almost complete with month 36 of ownership. My bumper to bumper warranty of 3 year/36,000 miles ended 14,000 miles ago. In 10,000 miles my 5 year/60,000 miles powertrain warranty will expire. It's just a matter of what you're comfortable with. With that said, these trucks are built to tow 9,000+ lbs. I don't think some spacers and slightly bigger tires are going to mess them up unless you do something to really mess your truck up.

Swapped the chrome z71 for a black version today. Surprised how much of a difference it made.

Thanks, it could have been the service guy. I think I got on his nerves. Haha

I hear ya, I have the warranty so I’d rather they handle it. Just because it’s easier and I can hold them accountable. Though, I agree plan B is the best.

Added the bed rug. Had it before in a previous truck and loved it .

The black badge does change the look. Removed hood emblem as well.

Tires in the garage. Readylift 2" kit in the garage. Just ordered the Rough Country speedometer calibrator. Waiting on my furniture to arrive from California since my wheel spacers got packed. They're only 1/2". Do I really need them? Tires I have in the garage are Duratracs in 285/75r18. Should I just go ahead and get everything done? Furniture won't be delivered until Aug 7. Living with camping chairs and table, sleeping on camping cots, eating off paper plates with plastic spoons and forks. I feel like I need something to do to keep me distracted.

check your state but I doubt that.
