I installed my Marathon Seat Covers. Love 'em! I was a little hesitant to order these, since I read some poor reviews, but looking closer at the reviews, most of those customers readily admit that they ignored the guidance from the manufacturer.

These fit great, the install was simple, and they feel durable as hell. Winning.

Took mine in for the first service it has had, 4,781 miles on it. Folks at McCaddon are the best. Oil changed and tires rotated, on warranty.

I looked over a GMC AT4, in Red, the equivalent of my TB. Didn't have the factory bed liner, didn't have the high-traction Goodyear Wranglers. And was more than $4,000 higher priced. Also too much chrome in the interior.

I'm pretty sure I bought the right truck for me.

Installed black/gloss bow tie
Took off front red and chrome z71
Sides, hood and tailgate Debadging scheduled for tomorrow

Changed out the chrome Z71 for matte black fender emblems

Installed a 1 1/2" level kit from Rough Country. Now, there is zero rub with 295/70R18 Cooper tires. I pulled up next to a Ford Raptor and felt gigantic. These mods along with a Cold Air Inductions intake and GM Cat back exhaust makes this truck a beast. The final piece, and I agree with everyone who says this mod is absolutely necessary, is the Pulsar LT module that I used to disable DFM, change auto start/stop default to "off", adjust speedometer to tire size and have 5 levels of throttle response at hand at any time. Level "5" will spin the tires if you do more than breathe on the pedal. Fender flares and red caliper covers are the only mods left I have planned at this time.

Debadged the beast today. Looks so clean in my opinion! Midnight edition with the 6.2

Fender flares make the truck pop definitely worth it.

Ceramic Coat. It seems like its added some serious shine

Were those special flares designed to work with the mud guards?

I would recommend you get new upper control arms. If you put a stock trail boss on a lift and raise it up the upper control arm ball joints are pretty maxed out already. I didn't look up the lift kit so if it does come with new upper control arms disregard.
