Title: Diana
Post by: Higher Caliber on December 08, 2017, 10:54:32 PM
Meet Diana (daughter wanted Wonder Woman, we settled on Diana)

She’s a 2016 CCSB Z71. First vehicle I’ve ever had personally with heated seats!

(Here she is when I brought her home)

First thing I did was remove those fuggly steps and level it up. Black wheels and 275’s again!

ECM and TCM tunes installed. Just ordered a cold air intake. After I install it, I have to drive it for 150 miles or so and then send my data logs in for some custom tunes.

Got that Darth Vader look goin' on...Must be a cop thing. Mikey my bro, a Deputy blacked out his CCSB the same way. Including the windows to some illegal tint. I get that part...
Must be a cop thing
But I know the inner grunt wanted to cammo up something or add in some gun mounts somewhere...

Beautiful...Smart

Fits with the family and the Casa!

It was that classic 80's something. Good looking truck as well, but piled up with mileage

And still the D-Max, I think

Shots fired! Maybe... I got a deal on it so... never know. I’m not ashamed to turn over a profit once in a while!

Installed a Cold Air Inductions Inc. CAI on Diana today! There are several YouTube videos detailing the install of this exact kit. I was  pretty impressed with everything I saw (especially the before and after dyno vid) and I know that CAI’s are a hot topic of debate but this one seems to do it right and well it’s my money, so I popped on it.

Took a little while to get it, I guess they had run out of material but I got it today and had it installed in less than an hour without any hiccups.

Seat of the pants o meter detected a little more power. Definitely makes some noise when you get on her.

Looks like the toolbox tag is pop-Riveted?  Carefully drill them out then replace rivets without tag and spot paint the rivet heads?

^that and I was going to say see if MO has custom plates in black and white.  Texas has a classic black plate with white letter/numbers without it being a vanity plate. Looks good on my wife’s black suv

HC, I know this is a very old post, but...

My pre-Ranger (He is actually in RASP at this very moment) picked up a nearly identical truck over Christmas. His is a base model, black with a 5.3, 2017 I think with a floor-shifted transfer case, and factory 20" chrome wheels.

He wanted a Chevy truck ever since he sold his first one a couple of years ago.

Anyway, I am thinking of tossing on headers and exhaust and an air intake system as a graduation gift from RASP when he enters one of the Ranger battalions...
