Changes to my truck

Abbaby · December 7, 2006

Im bored so I thought I would post some pics of my 06 Sierra

When I bought it:

Now:

I got exhaust put on. Straight pipes, its very loud and I love it.

-3 piece grill

-bug flector

-clear signals

-blue headlights

-step bars

-fender trim

-window tint

-window visors

-spray in bed liner

-3rd brake light cover

-after market tails

-straight pipes

-debadge

I havent done anything inside (which really nothing need to be done) and nothing under the hood. Its pretty peppy enough for me. I want to pull the pinstrip off, get a shorty antenna, tonneau cover hard top, and black rims with polished lip.

You know what that truck REALLY needs?

Some wheels and some 285/75/16's.

I'm thinking Nittos on some aluminum!

Heeeeey! You know what? I just happen to have a set of those in my garage!

These right here!

Kidding of course ;) Truck looks GREAT as is

Besides, even if you wanted to buy them, shipping to AK would probably negate any savings you'd get.

How much do you want for them? I have looked on ebay in the past for wheels and the minimum to ship wheels to Alaska is $250.

Really...I have no idea how to go about even getting an estimate on shipping for them.

Hadn't thought very far into how much I'd sell them for either.

Nice but why debadge it? I like people to know I drive a sierra and not the more common silverado, well more common in my area at least. Real nice though.

Abbaby · December 7, 2006

I debadged it because it makes it look cleaner. These trucks are a dime a dozen here so Im not worried about ppl knowing what kinda truck I have.

You gotta do something under the hood...just how I feel

Clavin78 · December 7, 2006

I mean you could dress it up under the hood

Your truck looks excellent, good job. Have you gotten a lot of snow??? We haven't had any......I'm getting antsy!!!!

Yeah, that was my truck.

That's a truck bed tent, made specifically for trucks. Couple that with a blow-up bed, and it's easy campin' for those nights that I drink too much after a day of riding.

We have a couple inches of snow. But its really usual that we dont have more for this time of yr. Usually be Dec we have a couple feet. Its probably because we bought snowmachines this yr and since we dont have alot of snow we havent been able to ride them yet.

care to point me to a place to look at/buy one?

do u use a 12v converter (cig plug) for the blow up motor?

Mike, I think this is what Wingnut has: http://cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/po...0103&id=0014948

BTW: That's an awesome truck! Debadging it made it look really clean!

Yup, I bought the optional matching mattress from them, but you don't have to get that one. Just get one that fits in the bed, it'll save you $20-$30.

That's the Sportz Truck Tent III, I have the II...And I bought it from Realtruck.com (site sponsor). Actually, it was a gift from a girlfriend, I just directed her there...From what I recollect, she got free shipping too.

I'd sell it (and the wheels I mentioned earlier in this hijacked thread), but I'm going to buy a second truck soon, and if I buy another short bed, I'll be able to use them.

Sorry Abbaby, I'll stop Bogarting your thread now
