This is how I purchased her, 70k and came with a painted to match hardshell fiberglass tonneau cover. I drove all the way home from the dealership, got around the corner and then realized that I had steering wheel controls for the radio, there was a CD already in there and the first song to play way Maggie May by Rod Stewart (practically named herself). I quickly put on an old set of 285/70 terra grapplers on silverado z71 17" rims. That quickly changed to a baby lift - 3" torsion keys with 2" rear blocks and Bilstein 5100s with 315/70 BFG ATko off of a hummer H2, no rub at all.

Painted the grill and front GMC black and debaged the rear tailgate. 8000k HID lows with 3000k fogs, LED tails, tint, blacked out corner lights and I painted my headlights black also. 7" Pioneer touch screen with rear view camera and 2-10" Rockford Fosgate Power in a custom box under the back seat. Front RF components with secondary tweeters and rear door speakers. Alarm with remote start, Volant CAI. Full custom stainless exhaust, factory flange off of the factory y-pipe was cut and 3" welded directly to factory ypipe. 3" stainless runs into Magnaflow 18x4 oval out to dual 2.5" piping. While running the bends, one location on each side is pinched to about 2.25 about a foot off the muffler to keep some low end backpressure. Piping is ran back into 4x22" single wall slash cut tips that run out each side behind the rear tires 3/4 fender.

-sorry for the crappy cellphone pics

7" FullthrottleSuspension lift on 35x12.5 (measure to 35.6 x 13.2) Toyo Opencountry MT on 18x9 Moto Metal 962's black/machined with GoRhino D2 steps. Fenders are currently settled at 46", I can fit 37s right now but didn't realize that prior to the purchase. Kind of kicking myself now because i want to go bigger. I plan on cranking the front up (i can get about another 2-3 out of it) and doing 2500 leaf springs in the rear. The goal is around 50-51" fenders. I may do a 3" body also, not sure just yet.

All dolled up on September 11th. I just had them thrown in there in these pics, I have since had two flag pole holders fabbed and mounted to the inside of the bed. One mounted on each side in about the same location as permanent mounts.

In my typical fashion, I still dont own anything other than this iphone to take pics. I decided i wanted more after i did the 8" lift. Installed a 3" body lift and I am now the perfect size in my opinion. I could fit 40s but these 36s are still fresh so im not going to waste any more money right now. Here are some teaser pics until i go wheeling with someone with a decent camera (been trying to plan something with Gordinho)
