24 Sierra 1500 AT4 3.0L
  • Banks Datamonster iDash
  • 4Knines dog hammock
  • TruXedo Sentry CT tonneau cover.
  • Cargo nets to keep stuff from moving around.
  • Emblems blacked out with Hyperdip
  • Exhaust tips will be blacked out with high temp paint this weekend.
  • 3 ton floor jack, jack stands, and some new hand tools so I can do my own maintenance. Harbor Frieght has become a new stopping ground.
  • Valvomax oil drain plug (not yet installed.
  • Active 2.0 pressure washer for detailing. (Hand wash only, my new weekend pastime)
  • Stubby antenna.
  • Got a quote for a Fox 2.5 suspension upgrade with Method wheels and Toyo tires. Undecided if or when I'd pull the trigger on it.
 
Really not too many on my 2011 Ram Sport.
  • Diamondback HD bed cover - Needed the extra room to haul an ATV and still use the bed for supplies like water/gas/coolers/etc. Turned out to be extremely watertight as well.
  • Line-X bed liner - Because it wasn't done at the factory. Besides, I like the aftermarket better. They apply it thicker, and it's warrantied for life.
  • Weathertech floor liners and mudflaps - Any floor liner is better than none. So easy to clean.
  • Fumoto oil drain valve - a godsend when changing your own oil. Just too damn easy.
  • Air Lift bags - The Rams squat bad with the coils so the Air Lift really helped to even that out when loaded. They bust a lot but they do have a lifetime warranty, so they just send new ones when I bust one.
  • Blacked out badges and chrome, including the wheels with Plasti-Dip. Less permanent than de-badging like I did with my last Ram.

All really nice additions to your truck and maintenance capabilities! Let us know how the Valvomax drain works for you. Probably 20 years ago I went to a Harbor Freight sales event to buy some shop power tools but I walked away with only a set of ballpeen hammers because the quality was so poor. That’s not true anymore and I recently bought a set of impact sockets and a roll around cart for my shop.

No doubt HF has really stepped up their game. I used to only buy "low use" tools like pullers or other things like that. Now I have sets of impact sockets, TQ wrenches, long ratchets, and a jack from them.
 
I've done quite a bit of little things to my truck and only a couple major items:
  • 295/70-R18 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss (35x11.50)
    • This took some trimming and pushing back inner fender liners, removal of mud flap bracket.
  • 18x9 0" Offset Icon Alloy Rebound - Titanium color
  • Ready lift 1.75" Level w/ UCA's
  • Borla Performance Exhaust - S Type (This is the GM performance exhaust)
  • Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Airbags
  • Pulsar LT programmer
    • Allows for calibrating the new tire size, can also disable DFM and Auto start/stop, increase max speed etc.
  • Bakflip MX4 hard tri-fold tonneau cover
  • Tinted 4 side windows to match the back
  • Hyper dip - Black badges around
  • Replaced red front GMC logo with black
  • Satin black metal knob covers throughout interior
  • GM high clearance steps
    • These are great because they are tucked right up under the body and don't hang down
  • A stubby black antenna

Quite a list dude. Does the Pulsar permanently turn off auto start/stop?

Yes, you can permanently turn off Auto start/stop and/or DFM.

"The Pulsar LT is a new in-line module for 2019-2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 5.3L/6.2L that offers complete adjustability of many features, all from your steering wheel controls. Without modifying your truck's ECM, Pulsar LT offers you the ability to adjust throttle response, tire size, gear ratio, TPMS, and your top speed limiter. Pulsar LT can also be used to disable Auto Start/Stop and Active/Dynamic Fuel Management. It connects directly to the vehicle computer system, making installation a breeze and leaving your factory warranty intact. And yes, it does work on 6.2 10-speed models!"
 
Chrome delete - phase 2 - Paint HDMI exhaust tips black

1000000077.jpg
High temp flat black paint. Gloss might have blended a little better but I'm happy with the results. Job took a lot longer than i planned. Removing the sidesteps, which needs to be done to remove the tips, was not a fun task.
 
This is what I added to my 2021 Ford Ranger Tremor XLT:

-Diamonback cover with headache rack
-Rokblokz XL mudflaps
-Husky floor mats up front and in the back
-Baja Design Squadron Sport A pillar lights
-Extra tie down in the bed (Thank you Ford for cheapening out and removing them)
-Hopkins Insight brake controller
-Console tray

I'm due for new tires pretty soon as I keep getting bolts in my tires and they are wearing like crap even with 8000 km (5000 miles) rotation. They are general grabber ATX load range C.
 
I‘m patient and generally buy my vehicles with everything I want, so there’s only a few add on’s I’m interested in. In the case of my taco, I added:
Oem ock rails. Pretty much it. I waxed it with some meguiars tech wax a few weeks ago…I’m boring i guess.

Maybe not for work use but I just added several carbon fiber trim items that cover up some of the bright chrome trim found on my dash and center console. One of my pet peeves is with auto manufacturers that put bright chrome or polished metal inside the cockpit. If you live in a sun rich state like I do those bright shiny surfaces will direct the sunlight directly into your eyes hence the addition of the carbon fiber trim pieces has eliminated that.

I had a bright chrome surround on my console. I pulled it and hit with black Plasti-Dip. Now it's a rubbery matte black but can be easily pealed off when I sell it. Did the same to my chrome wheels and grill.
