Hey yall, just thought id show ya the "before and after" of my truck.
Here she is after my parents drove it home after buying it. I Immediately sold the cap and tinted the windows 5% all around (excluding windshield.)

After that, I took some leave to go home and see my family and truck, i bought 33" BFG KM2's for it.

Had to test the tires out

After i got the truck shipped to me here in Vegas, i took it some mudding more out at a lake bed after a rain.

after a few months of saving my money up, i decided i wanted to lift it, so i started the process of ordering parts. i started with ordering the wheels. 17x8.5 MB motoring wheels from Discount tire .

after that i sold the BFG's and bought 35x12.5R17 Nitto Mud Grapplers, stuffed them under the truck for a couple weeks till i had the money to get her lifted.

Finally, i ordered a 6" Fabtech Lift Kit and Fabtech Dual Steering Stabilizers from 4 Wheel Parts. Got the lift installed...

Also ordered a Spectre CAI and Edge Evolution Programmer..

I went wheeling with a few buddies one night, and realized how much i couldn't see with just headlights..soo i ordered four 8" Pro-Comp 130W Long Distance lights and had a bumper fab'd up at 6651 Customs here in Vegas.

.and this is how she sits now...

Ive got more things i'd like to do, so this will be an on-going thread. hope yall like it!

I agree, i'd love to do a lightning swap, especially since my truck already has a 4R100 trans, i just dont have the $6000 for a crate motor..but what id like to do next is get some upper and lower A Arms fab'd up along with shocks with some more travel. I want to try and have a lifted/mid travel suspension. just gotta figure out how to make that happen...haha.

Thanks! Got yourself a cool burban, my buddy had a 90 or 91 with the 6.2L diesel as his bog truck, thing mobbed!

Looking good. Like the mods you've done. It soesn't even remotely look like the "factory" truck your paretns drove home.

Good looking truck man... 100% better looking than stock... And I would imagine those 4-8" lights have helped some

Only thing id change is try to fill those gaps in where that front bumper was made. otherwise looks sick
