Never Ending Project - 1997 GMC Sierra

[Riggs]

Ordered New Sway Bar Bushings a week ago, been riding around with a junk one (the rubber completely fell out on the passenger side and i decided to go with polyurethane

i also ordered a u-bolt kit from fabtech that will be in on tuesday which is good since i wont be putting in the axle until the weekend when i have time, i still have to drive it everyday.

i have really nothing better to do tonight so i will put in those bushings and give my truck a good wash, its been a while.

my parents still dont like it when i go out after my mono im supposed to take it easy so yea... couple more weeks and ill be back to normal

Getting new tires in 2 weeks, Pro Comp has a buy 3 get 1 free deal until September 30th,

285/75/16 Pro Comp All Terrain Load Range D, 50,000 Mile Tread-Ware Warranty, Mud/Snow

Total comes to $596.36, not too bad i wont have them for a couple weeks though, but even when i do get them im not going to put them on until December when the snow falls

oh and that price is the actual price no shipping or anything, its through the truck accessory shop i work at

also here is a pic of what they look like

 

[Riggs]

no way, white letters are going to be shown just like they are now..

but im looking for new fender trim that goes around the wheel wells in black, i cant just take mine off cause its faded and a little sratched

 

[Riggs]

i would like to take the rockers, trim, and the wheel well chrome off but i cant do it without the paint looking like shit and looking funny, so when it gets re-painted it will get done

it was a really crappy night so i did some things in the garage tonight.

i put my reel light in, new sway bar bushings, new LED bar (warrantied), and i replaced a cracked outside door handle on the passenger side and put the full chrome overlay on it.

Wow Riggs, your just a wrench turning machine. Congrats on your work so far, should be a true beast when done. Good luck.

here is a pic of the handle that is finally fixed after being broken for like 6 months

and to show how dirty my truck is and how bad i need to wash it today, i just went outside and its only like 58 degrees and about 20 mph wind so i am going to wait, good thing our garage is big enough to wash it in lol

Reel light mounted in the only spot that seemed to work.. the reel works even though it looks like it hits that thing on the firewall it works perfect and plenty of room for that its only held in by 2 screws..

 

[Riggs]

everything is so dirty, i never have time to wash it, and when i do it gets dirty right away.

is there any trick to cleaning out the engine bay?

Maybe I missed something but why didn't you put the reel light in the stock location?
