Well I finally discovered this part of the forum the other day!! lots of cool vehicles in here! so here is mine! I bought my truck in September from my dad when I got home from working in Northern Manitoba for the summer... Had 127,500 kms (80K miles) and was stock other than a trifecta tonneau cover.
1st thing I did with in day of having it was the 2" ready lift level, with in days of that I had got a set of 305/55/20 (33x12.5) Dick Cepek FC-II radials as the tires that were on the truck were done.
only pic I have of it stock
With level kit and tires:
3rd came a K&N CAI - my buddy had one on his old sierra and it sounded great on the 5.3 so I figured on the hemi it would be awesome, and it is!
4th came the tow mirrors (but messed up and forgot to get heated ones :smiledown So I might put the stock ones back on for the winter
Next mod was 2 KC Daylighter 130 watt lights for behind the grill (to help when the highbeams are on..) This was probably the most fun MOD so far as I had to figure out where to put the switch and run the wires through the firewall etc.
with high beams and KC's on - you can see how much higher the kc's are
where I put the switch I was hoping for a stick on switch like PIAA has but oh well
Next (and last for now!) Came LED lights! Big thanks to this forum for the led section because I would have never even thought of doing led lighting! I did the map and dome lights, Plate, reverse, cargo and 3rd brake light all in cool white (except brake) These pics arent the best as iphone at night with no flash sucks.
I think that is it LOL Next thing to tackle (wish I didnt have to) is this...
damn people in the school parking lot.... I bought a new (used) bumper and painted it black... the bolts holding the old one on are pretty seized so I might need to torch them a bit.... and I doubt I will be able to push the corner of the box out, there is a big (flimsy) bracket in the right in the way so I will try my best to push as much of the dent out as possible...
Next thing that needs to be done (redone) is the rear fenders
hopefully they can hold off until spring, they are getting pretty nasty though
I think thats it, sorry for so many pics, I go picture happy! let me know what you think!
