Not much... just cleaned the truck up a few days ago and finally got my handles yesterday so here are some pics. Also added a chrome bowtie. Matched mirror caps are on the way

Still have my leveling kit sitting in my console lol

Are you going to lift it with some bigger tires? I couldn't stand that much fender gap. Truck looks clean though.

Huge gap annoys me on new Silvies, but I know you're 4wd Beast. Looks good. Can't wait to see matched mirrors. Another thing on new stuff, I love all white (or any color carried across) on front bumper instead of chrome ctr surrounded by caps. Don't they call it Sport if done that way from GM?

Where'd you get the painted tailgate handle? I've been trying to find one in the greystone metallic color.

Oh yeah, looks great.

Ya, thats the main reason I haven't put the leveling kit on yet... I can't afford the tires I want, 295/70/17 Trail Grapplers. I was really considering pulling out the rear block until I can get tires just to get it closer to level

Ya, I believe that is what JB did to his truck. I actually like a little chrome... I think it breaks the truck up nicely, the only thing I really plan to match after this would be the airdam, rest of the mirrors, HD tailgate cap and maybe the rear bumper pad... I have mixed opinions on the rear bumper pad tho because I use my truck a good bit and would probably ruin it. I was really interested in doing the rear bumper pad in Linex white

Got mine from Ebay fellas... here is the seller

http://myworld.ebay.com/ebaymotors/heartbeatcustoms/

they are the mainly the cheapest on Ebay I could find (aside from used) but communication is tough and shipping takes awhile with this seller... mine took 18 days!

Thanks everyone

Yeah, that ebay seller did have a greystone tailgate handle for sale for a while, but he was asking $100 + higher shipping than all the other colors he had available and I just had an issue with that. LOL.

I may just have to find a cheap used textured black handle and take it a guy I know that does paint.
