Looks really good..how big are those tips?
Have you already bought the fender flares? I think new body styles look better without em. Will you be painting the bowtie black?
 
Damn that looks way better than your other trucks and it is still pretty mild, and everything on GM trucks is easy to do for the most part it is called engineering with a good amount of R and D which is what the other 2 companies forgot how to do:)

Looks mean, is that truck a 5.3
 
OK... Big Block I am going to kick you a$$.... The bumpers were fab'd up but I had to actually build the final ones.... so technically they were the 1st thing I did... yes I have the flares and they are being painted to match... The bow tie is going bye bye because I put a new grille on it this afternoon... the other companies you refer to have a lot of R&D you are just to blinded by your old technology to see it.... and the truck is a 4.8L not a 5.3L, and sometime next year it will be a supercharged 4.8L
 
How many times do I need to tell you that I "F" with everyone but as long as it an american truck its all good? People that seriously argue that this is better than that need to really look and see how many of these trucks actually share parts.... I own all 3 brands now and they are all good at something that the other is not.... Now if you want a truck to hate on I have driven the Titan and I have driven all 3 generation Tundras and they suck balls.... I hate the power, I hate how they drive, how they handle, everything about them... I love all the trucks I have.... but I also didnt like any of them stock...LOL

and the tips are 4" into 5" I have a 4" into 3" reducer and then I custom made a plate to mount to the gibson 2.5" pipe so its all welded up
 
Yeah but it so fun much fun to F with you. You know I suport Detroit and all there auto makers but it is still a pride of ownership thing for me. But yes all of the Big 3 good trucks much better thn the yota. IMO

But the truck does look great, and yes I do really really hate Tundras.
 
Have you driven a tundra? any year? They are the biggest POS.... I have driven customers trucks since we had to do the bumpers on them and I cant believe these guys stand behind them.... and the frames are so weak.... the final cross member for strength on them is the hitch.... they dont have a final support, they rely on the hitch.... and the flex in the frame is stupid..... its such a PITA to mount a bumper to those frames..... LOL

you can but you have to heat the assembly up and break the seal and then break the amber part out of it and then reassemble it and try to get a good seal.... which you will never get it perfect and moisture will end up inside and they will yellow out very quickly

Wrong, wrong, and ummm, wrong. Bill, the 2000 and up Pontiac Bonneville Guys do it to their headlights and cut open their taillights, and have no issues with them, at all. So it is possible, and it isn't as hard as people psyc it up to be.
 
I know it can be done, and I would like to do it, but I dont want to cut them open and have them leak... I'll deal with the amber reflector
 
Man I think the stock lights look fine, why would you wanna risk havein that terrible lookin dewy mist inside your lenses I know I don't want anything to do with that crap make a vehicle look bad IMO.
 
Truck looks sweet but I'd like the lights stock instead of lightly tinted. Too bad you can't black out the fronts like you did to the rears....maybe they'd look better to me with the new grille.
 
I could black them out like the rears, but the cops wouldnt like it to much... My lights in the bumper are brighter than my headlights anyway
 
OK, so I got the rear springs in and scrapped the lift blocks.... and I gave her a bath, but its dark so the pics kind of suck.... Oh well, here ya go....
