Roxanne: Prism's 2010 daily driver

Prism · Apr 28, 2015

I figured now that the mods are coming along (slowly) that I would keep up a page for my avy.

As she sits right now: 2010 z71 with tow package. first and only owner with about 87k miles.

Now that the move to south FL is almost finished i have some time to get somethings done to the truck. And they are much needed where im moving.

Here is some of the things i have done so far and the new projects i am starting on

Bed slide (thank you so much Bennie, most useful thing) and mega warrior basket over the bed:

A simi permanent laptop mount (the wife does ride with me , needs to be quick to remove):

(kinda dark picture but you get the idea)

up next for the truck

havis 10" console (ordered, waiting):

cup holder , aux switch plate , radio bracket for CB (ordered, waiting):

also got a 42" LED light bar and where i would like to put it:

It is slow going but it is coming together. Reviews , comments , suggestions , idea are welcomed

Brian,

Looks like a nice list! I especially like the low profile bedside with the high sides.. I can't say that I've seen that style before!

I like the idea for the light bar mount, a little off the wall, but I'm eager to see it if it fits!!

I like the console as well, I want to see it installed, i had emergency lights in the 02, but haven't installed anything in the '13 as its all in my DD at the moment, and I'm really not feeling hacking up a truck with less than 20k miles :laugh:

Please tell me you changed that other clear DRL to amber >:D

Keep it up!

Alright it is time for some updates, so here it goes:

Some of you all have seen these if you have been following me on facebook and other social media.

I got into some plasti-dip here is some before and afters.

Mirrors and lettering

Grill, bezel, center Z71 light gray section

Bowtie, lettering, and flex fuel badge

A general before and after shot

thoughts , opinions

the next thing is finally bolting the cargo basket to the cross members/bars, and start on the lighting. I will get pictures of that when i get finished with it.

Here is some of the console for those who were wanting to see.

here is some of the cargo basket and the start of the lighting i am doing . i am working on making new cross bars for the basket to attach to. then need to start running all the wiring to the console

First of the new cross bar , was able to reuse the original locks

I work a lot at night so this should help. also for those who just have to drive behind me with their hi-beams on, i got something for you >:D

Thanks. It doesn't seem like Helen was that long ago. But I guess it has been a while.

Thanks guys

Love the dip job. Front end looks killer. I would personally suggest some glossifier for a glossy look and more protection but thats just me. As for the console, good job. Rack looks good. If you plan on running the rack on the roof and wiring into the roof under the headliner, good luck, its a pain in the rear thats for sure. I had to take mine down for my custom roof rack and it was a two person job for sure. Got it done though.

got the problem with the 12v (B+) trailer harness figured out, and used it for the power for the light bar.

Looks good man

Looks good. I'm really starting to regret not holding out for a gray model.

Things have slowed down for me working on the truck. Mainly because of my injury. I still need a full hip replacement (at only 30 years old) and, right now, the pain is almost too much to deal with. The other major thing is that my wife is expecting our first child, a son. We have been getting ready for this new chapter of our lives. Big Things.
