so i took the stock, lowered it with the gf kit and slapped 20s on



was starting to go for the SS style/look
im now over my need for speed now and looking to have some offroading and fun...

so the mailman brought me this in the mail today



and so it begins...

First things first i put my stockers back on (was gonna switch them for winter anyways)



Before:


Instead of doin the usual rental of the spring compressors for $20, the local autozone had them on sale for $35, its already paid for itself...so i got on of these...



oh and picked one of these up too..



Then i did a little of this


Mixed with a little bit of this


And some help from my cousin, David Blane, he taught me how to use levitation


After:

Met up with Gordinho on thursday and we were talking about the site. I havn't been on in quite some time so i figure ill give everyone a long overdue update.

As many of you remember, I wound up sinking the TB in a lake and hydrolocking it. After the full rebuild, motor/trans/TC/ front diff, full exhaust, new pcm (salt water) I had everything operational with the exception of A/C. Me and my girlfriend at the time were on our way to a Jason Aldean concert and I rear ended a Subaru Forester, no one got hurt which was the important part.

This was what I had the truck at just prior to sale. 33x12.5 Hankook Dynapro MT on Procomp 15x10s



Over time the electrical gremlins starting coming around. The salt water started to corrode various connections all over the truck and it was a new headache every week. I stripped it down to stock and traded it for my 2003 z71 sierra. Ill do a separate thread for that
