Been a while.. haven't done much to it. Gonna keep it for the winter I guess. New battery for the winter. We're back to ice roads until May.

Finally wired up my switch for light bars lol been using the ugly stick on switch since I put them in. Turned out decent it's one of the $3 Amazon ones

With your winters do you have to replace your battery yearly?

Glad to see you're still enjoying the truck. Thanks for sharing the pics, as always

Blew the engine Feb 2020 and still haven't been able to find a replacement 6.2. Anyone know where I can get one? Even GM told me it's 'unavailable'... wtf? Wreckers have the engine sold before they even receive the truck lol.

Picked up this 06 for free from a friend. Slowly going through it and needs a lot of small things but I have a donor for it so I have been swapping parts when I have time, I am trying to do the front and rear suspension this week. Needs a front bumper and windshield too but looks decent with tint and steps removed. After I paint handles and mirrors I will try and bring the paint back to life

Try Texas speed or something like that. Get a new long black and swap the rest over from yours

Getting there... Painted handles from the donor truck and bowtie. Is it worth the effort to sand down the mirror housings for paint?

Was thinking to do the bumper cap and rear appliques as well but I had to order more paint. Also got these OEM flares off a truck heading for scrap that I will paint. Once everything is painted I will try and compound/polish the body.

Waiting for the valance and new set of headlight/turn/fog housings

Color match good.
I vote yes on CM mirror caps and rear aopliques. Pretty much anything but the rear bumper pads were CM’d on my NBS.
