Recommended Posts

We have a lifted build and that's it so I will start one. Some things may be left out because it has been 5 years but I have pics of some of it. Let's start with the info.

 

Truck started life as a 2004 GMC Sierra SLE 2WD with a 4.8 and 3.42 open diff. Not even a factory trans cooler.

 

When I bought the truck in 2008

Added K&N intake and Flowmaster 40 dumping shortly after buying it

That was it for a while other than a sound system. 2 JL 10w1v2's

Then upgraded the horrid Goodyear 235/75R16's to Bridgestone Dueler RVT 255/75R16's

Then Bilstein 4600's all around with the help of member kenny britten

I will be ordering new grilles on Tuesday when I can deposit money into the bank. I pulled it all out for a casino trip. Also going to be doing gauge LED's if I can get express shipping done. I have a couple dead spots so it will be a nice upgrade. There are things I missed in the other posts I will eventually get to as well.

 

I will also be painting the center support in front of the condenser where the hood latch bolts to and my tranny cooler mounts to. I may paint the tranny cooler mount bars as well. Depends on how they look behind the new grille. I am thinking a red of some sort to offset the new grille and the tranny cooler.
