Full dual exhaust with x pipe, set of spintech super pro street 9000s, and a set of black wedson dual tips.
 
hows the ride from the ELKA's ? nice to see options

Very happy, absorbs the bumps a lot better. Feels a bit more grounded than the boat feel. I have a little rattle somewhere up front though, I cant track it down. But everything is torqued to specs that I can find. Sounds like there is a lost 10mm socket softly clanking around between 5-15mph then it goes away.

@Stormin08 figured out the loose metal. A pretty reputable shop here locally didn’t tighten the axle nut down appropriately and it was loose bouncing on the rim and center cap. Both fronts.
 
Tight fit in the driveway living in Seattle. But very happy with the fitment.

295/70 ko’s
18x9 with 0mm offset

Haven’t noticed rubbing but we will see.

that is scary, hopefully everything else was tight...
I had a control arm loosen after an alignment...noticed it rolling in to Florida on trip from Missouri !!!!

Yeah, everything else was torqued right. Just got back from the shop and they made it right. Definitely appreciate them, but now it just means I may go back to installing this stuff myself again. Switched to ensure my wife felt more at ease (her first time even dating a car guy and first car I am building married).

This does bring me back to a crazy ex from college. She loosened the lugs on my truck at the time, and as I was driving off to go scuba a wheel fell off and the rotor dropped to the inside of the rim. Great times.....great memories.
 
Replace rear diff cover .. with a cover with a drain plug

Busy day for deliveries. Powerstop Sports front and rear kits came in. I also had new Good Year Wranglers installed. A lot cheaper at $789 for 4 compared to the extremely loud stock Good Year Duratrac’s. Also grabbed a Milwaukee orbital polisher for the big Fall detail.
I considered those tires in 275/60R20, but seems like I always want to spend a lot of money for very little difference. I replaced the factory 20” Bridgestone A/T with Goodyear 275/65R20’s. They an inch taller, and cost a lot more! An inch taller? Almost twice the price. Sometimes I question my sanity.

I had these same tires on my previous truck. They held up well with very little increase in noise as they wore.

I think they look great and are truly a bargain in the factory size.
 
Wheels all tucked. And had to move the fender liners. But I opted to not cut any liner, and removed the front plastic bracket and rear metal bracket. Then zip tied it all back tight.

One of those bolts on the plastic side was a pain. Had to pull out the dremel to cut it up to get access. I’ll take photos once the sun comes up more more.

A lot of hate on other social media’s, but I really like these K10 emblems on my TB. My grandpa had an old K10 and he was a diehard Chevy truck thru and thru. I like this nod to him and Chevy trucks in general!
