Custom 2000 GMC Sierra Accessory Installs - Looking The Part

6. The bull bar was secured to the front framehorn with special brackets. Since we had already removed the tow hooks, bolts were slid into the factory holes from inside the frame.

7. With both brackets installed, Andrew test-fitted the bar in position. As expected, all holes lined up to complete the installation.

8. Before the final installation, we added a set of KC HiLiTES Slimlite 130-watt halogen lights to fill up the center bar area and provide auxiliary lighting when needed. Andrew found holes that were provided in the Westin bull bar for just such a purpose.

9. With the lights mounted to the bull bar, the entire assembly was attached to the frame-mounted brackets for our final installation. All that was left was a little wiring work to make the lights function.

10b. While searching the J.C. Whitney catalog for our key accessory enhancements, one of the added highlight items we found was a door handle set from TFP. The chrome-plated covers slid right over the factory handles for a great look.

11b. TFP also makes a set of mirror covers. These covers were again a simple installation with a cleaning of the factory mirror and use of the provided installation glue strips.

12. That completes our update of the Reverse Sleeper project truck. The last step in our added makeover was taking the factory "chin strip" from the bottom of the bumper, cutting a tapered angle to it, and painting it black. Simple bolts-ons can create a unique truck, and one-stop shopping is a possibility through J.C. Whitney.
