I ordered a set of "frosted" corners a week ago for a Chevy like the ad said, of course when they show up they're for a GMC. Luckily, a guy in Colorado had the opposite happen so we are trading lol.

Also stuck my 1.5" blocks in. The front/rear fender measurements are 38.25" front/rear. I got a late start so I didn't finish until after dark. But here it is mocked up with the jack

Then I aimed my led spot lights for the hundredth time. This time at night so I could get it exactly how I wanted

It is raining like I've never seen before. I don't know when the last time we've had a 7 day forecast for rain and actually had rain every single day. Some days it rains more than it doesn't. I love it.

Let's see, added clear corners lights and a black billet insert and removed the bug guard

I fixed my z71 stickers this morning. I applied them dry last time and they came out with bubbles and creases and they were crooked. So I order another set and used the soapy water trick with a squeegee and it worked great. No creases, no bubbles, and the driver side is finally straight

First attempt:

I'm thinking about getting something like this to go in place of the "off road". It goes with my Instagram name and the theme of the truck. I wish it was a z71 but I'm working with I got. Hence "wannabe_zee"...

Isn't it nice to be to where you can basically just drive it?
Yes it is, I love it haha. I've still got plans for it and only one of the plans will mean it'll be down for any period of time. Everything else is color matching which may or may not happen. Until the engine blows. That's when I have other plans for it lol

Holy chit, it's been a while since I updated this thing. I don't think I've ever gone this long without updating. That's probably because I don't think I've done anything to it lol

UPDATE!
Parked it for the winter. Can't let that road salt get to it :rofl:

But seriously, parked it. Brakes are locking up, grabbing, squealing. Need to get it fixed. I'm looking at a disc brake conversion kit and an adjustable proportioning valve but all I can find are SF/FF 14 bolt 8 lug kits or 5 lug 10 bolt kits. I found one SF 6 lug kit but I'll have to order calipers and pads separately which, believe me, isn't a deal breaker lol. I'm going to be one broke **** once I finish this.

In other news, I picked up a winter beater (It's my dad's spare mustang that he hasn't driven in months since he bought his nice mustang lol). 2000, V6, auto, 256,000 miles... Daddy's money, amiright?:gayfight::idiot:
