Sorry man. I know you have been around here a while. I tried to make my build thread easy for anybody to follow. Newbies or veterans. That's how I got lots of info when I started on here. Thx for the compliments.

Oh yeah man. It's all good. I enjoyed seeing your build. Wasn't trying to sound *******, LOL.

I think I'm aiming for the comp grey tbss wheels for mine.

I like the transformation of your truck! Over the last few day I have been going over you build. Great job and the final out come is fantastic. Do you still have the 4.8 in there?
Any future mods planned?

No offense taken. I like the comp grey as well. The TBSS really sold me.

Thx man. It sure has come a long way. Only the 4.8L, but I cannot complain as I got it dirt cheap from a previous employer and have been driving it since 2009. Wish I had the 5.3L, but its only got 73500 miles on the clock now, so a long ways to go. General maintenance mostly.

Future mods....I have a few inherited dings that are driving me crazy so I might have those taken care of. Maybe tighten up the stereo a bit and I've been on the search for an HD hood. Found a couple long distance, but unwilling to ship and so far nothing local. The HD hood would really set the front end off IMO. Other than that, nothing too radical as you can see I've chosen tasteful and complementary even though it may seem like a lot.

I liked the stock look. Why did you change it ? LMFAO
The look you went for or have achieved is awsome. If my beater grows on me maybe I will lower it and put nice rims on it. But for now it's just the winter beater.
I love my Z-71 Taho. I do to much with it to lower it but the caddy corner and glass will give her a different look and the 6.0 will help in the power department. The interiors on both truck were real clean. Just a detail and it's good as new. Nothing like your Indevor. Thanks for the mod modivation and the other tfy members. There are a ton of great ideas here.

What do you mean by this? What do you do that you think lowering it hinders the task needed to accomplish?

I tow a big camper and a heavy old boat. It squats it down real good. And the trails I go down when I am camping. Just the general use of the truck wouldnt be good lowered. But the white one would be a good candidate for that. I only drive it. And mainly in the snow.
