So I already posted a thread in the new members section but honestly this is where I plan to spend all my time on this forum so I figured I would share with you guys some info on my truck and what I want to do with it.




So I bought this truck about a year ago to be my winter beater but of course I can't ever leave anything alone...

Mods so far:
Aftermarket Radio
Tinted 20%
Windshield Tint Banner
Removed the Red Tape Stripe
Removed the Plastic Piece behind the grille to allow more airflow
I found a NICE used topper that's already painted white on my local craigslist for $150. I'm picking it up on Thursday.


So basically the only other things I want to do to the truck is lower it and drive it. The 5.2 has decent power and I don't plan to get crazy trying to make it faster. Although I would like my make my own CAI.... Anybody making their own? Or know where I can get that initial piece that attaches to the throttle body? I can build the piping and such...
Something like this...


Well that's all for now.

Hoping to learn more about this truck as I go. (I've already been through both of the FAQ threads)

 

How much of a pain was it to remove the tape stripes? they come off clean?

 

Yup they were no match for my heat gun and finger nails.

 

Lowering your winter truck or using it as a dd now?

Thing looks really clean. Mines got redneck painted before I was able to buy it off the dude I got it from and I wish he left it with the faded paint and clear coat peel. I could now I have more prep work to get it ready for new paint.

 

Yes it's my winter truck and I'm not planning to stance it out or anything... just want it a bit lower and sleeker.

And thanks. The thing is in damn near perfect condition. Only rust is on the bottoms of the doors. And it's real light. The paint is damn near perfect.
