  1. I didn't repaint them I cleaned them and applied this stuff https://www.amazon.com/303-30313-CSR-Protectant-Plastic-Fiberglass/dp/B00KN0UOEE I finally got my rear sway bar I ordered back in November but has been on back-order since And..... She's out for the spring!
  2. Thanks!! Yes it is indeed the Intimidator spoiler as stated by @someotherguy I found it on ebay a couple years back I'm getting the itch to drive it sooo bad. But in the mean time I detailed the front inner wheel wells and put the 22s back on the front just to drool over 😍
  3. I came across these Rough Country wheel well liners online . I have always thought the rear wheel well looked unfinished and these make it look great! https://www.roughcountry.com/chevrolet-rear-wheel-well-liners-4299.html?gclid=CjwKCAiA3L6PBhBvEiwAINlJ9AWhTYQ0aFvstANnCoxpZfklTzsZRO-1CnHfDMtnoXX4RoR-74CGlhoCMS0QAvD_BwE Before, kind of unfinished looking in my opinion. I also made sure to put a thick layer of Fluid Film behind them. Not that this truck will ever see salt but it can't hurt Installed! Looks fantastic!
  4. I spent many hours detailing under the hood of this truck. I also added a AEM cold air intake and Holley valve covers to clean up the look. In addition to that I also added a new chrome alternator. Here is how it started Here is the valve covers and the intake tube I have powder coated red to match. I also painted the alternator bracket when I added the new chrome alternator. Holley value covers really clean up how the coil packs look with them mounting directly to the coil packs. Came out so nice I am very happy
  5. Long time no updates! Just have been enjoying the truck! It is put away for the winter to I intend to do a few things to it. First of which is a Trans cool 40k cooler which I installed yesterday. So much bigger than the stock cooler Also looks super cool behind the grille!
  6. I haven't had any issues with mine
  7. Finally out enjoying this thing!
  8. Back together! Aside from the rear bumper I didn't have time to put on. First I POR15'd the brackets for the cladding Made sure to test fit everything before I drill any holes I felt bad drilling into these nice clean rockers haha But I did make sure to spray lots of rust proofing in the holes even though it will never see salt All riveted back on Back together! ?? backed it out of the garage to see if outside
  9. Sooooo much work has gone into this truck recently. I knew the rockers and cab corners needed attention but after taking a closer look one day i realized they were much much worse than I had thought.. So that meant it was time to get them done. I was hoping not to have to do this so soon but I can't leave it like this. Major dismantling Old junk cut out The inner rockers were toast too All the old junk out New inners going in New outer rockers on All painted! Too bad this will all be covered up by the cladding Painted the rocker cladding too. And that's where its at as of now
  10. Yes I have and they work just as advertised! I would defiantly recommend them! I got my 06 lower grilles in yesterday to officially finish the front end swap Before With the K Designs lower Honeycomb grille Then I cleaned the air ducts really good and replaced the inserts with the OEM Honeycomb ones
  11. Thanks! I can't wait to see all of them on in spring! I got alot done over the last couple weeks! I finished the headliner. I also ordered the full corsa exhaust. I had the custom made side exit for awhile but I never was in love with it, but this Corsa kit is amazing! Then I got some diesel led front LED switch back turn signal bulbs. The best thing about them is they have a build in resistor so there is no need to chop up the factory wiring! https://dieselleds.com/collections/chevy-2500-3500-1999-2007/products/lumenex-switchback I also got a K Designs 3D printed lower honeycomb grille and the matching oem air duct inserts to complete the 06 front end swap And to finish off this post I got this awesome ornament for Christmas
  12. Thanks! Unfortunately I haven't had time to finish it yet I because I came down with COVID. But yesterday I did test fit a wheel and I cannot wait to see them all on come spring!
  13. Started the headliner repair. I was able to find some suede that closely matches the stock color Typical sagging Took me awhile to scrape off all of the old glue. But be carful not to damage the fiberglass headliner New material all laid out! I'll let it dry for a few days before I re install everything. I also still have to re cover the sun visors.
  14. https://www.ebay.com/itm/18PCS-White-LED-Interior-License-Light-Package-Kit-For-Chevy-Silverado-1999-2006/252008749683?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 They are great quality especially for the price! They are 22x10s. Not sure on tires yet I'm going with 285/45/22 based on what I've read. Thanks!
  15. OH YES? I've dreamed of these wheels since I got the truck, now just have to wait for spring
  16. Well, she's put away for winter ? But now that means its time for more upgrades! I installed a pioneer double din with android auto which I really love and a 10in Rockford P1 with a box made to fit under the seat. This was my first go around at car audio and I think it came out pretty good! Next its time to fix the saggy headliner
  17. I got an interior LED package from Ebay. It makes a huge difference! Then I got a 05 Trailblazer airbag swapped in and I ordered the "ss" horn decal with the proper font. Just waiting for that to come in. http://www.motorcityvinyl.com/silverado-circle-emblem/
  18. Thanks! I am planning on getting replica chrome 22's and refinishing the headliner (which is next) I went to the scrap yard yesterday and got some trim parts to dye when I plan to recover the headliner in suede. I got the spares in case it doesn't turn out Here is what I plan to use, from my research this should be a match (or very very close) to the factory dark pewter Here is what I want the end result to be.
  19. I just love how this thing sits
  20. I agree, I have never used it before but I will be from now on! I finished this weekend. I also installed the shorter bump stops to accommodate for the drop kit
  21. I started cleaning and painting the frame. I used Eastwood Rust Encapsulator Plus and its come out great so far!
  22. To answer your questions; It handles slightly better I want to eventuality do a bigger front sway bar and a rear sway bar. The right is just as smooth as stock but I did get the correct drop shocks for it. Slight ribbing on full lock with stock wheel/tire combo but very minor. Overall extremely happy with it. Detailed it all up yesterday
  23. Thanks! I too do like a bit lower but being AWD I was worried about running into issues. If it was a 2wd I would have gone lower. The rear sits about a half inch higher I believe its like that from the factory although I completely forgot to measure before I installed the kit.
  24. I got the 2/2 drop in! Here are some quick pics. She needs a good detail!
