Thanks for the reply. I prefer the look of the G4s over the angularity of the G5s but hesitate due to wide spread quality problems. Did I see a pic you posted that the "tail light" is only 1 vertical row of LEDs and the "brake" lights up all of the LEDs at a higher intensity? If so, that's goofy and would be a deal breaker for sure.

Where do you have rubbing in the rear? First I've heard of rubbing there. I thought it was just up front?

Still debating which wheels I like best. I do like the simplicity of the U2s. Frankly, I'm considering going 26s. I like the 375s, but only in 24. Haven't checked into whether they're even available any more. The other is chrome KMC Slides.

Hopefully, the truck will be available in the next few days. They only list a "projected out of service date" of 5/11. I'm hoping the rebates goes up after the first of the month. That would be a nice bonus.

Thanks.

Yes, that is how they light up, because they are escalade replicas, which also light exactly the same. The outside row is on full intensity when they are on though.

It is hard to explain where I rubbed, but I will take a picture of what I ended up trimming.

If I lived in a city with nice roads, I'd be driving 26" chrome slides. There is just no possible way to run them here unless you buy 8 rims at a time lol.

When I picked my wheels I also contemplated getting the 375s, but opted for the cheaper U2s because it was my first big wheel purchase.
Hopefully, the truck will be available in the next few days.

How'd you do the carbon fiber over the wood grain?

It's just like vinyl wrap, I cut a square to size, slowly laid it on and used a heat gun to smooth it out. It was very hard for me to get a good job done on all of them. The bigger pieces were more difficult for me.

Auxiliary lights I ordered for the bull bar are here :)

Dropped the truck off to get shocks and rear diff cover changed so I will be putting those on later today :)

12" is 72W and 20" is 126W. They are Cree LED light bars at 6500K. 1/3 spot and 2/3 flood.
