    It looks decent, but it’s flaking and is more trouble than it’s worth. The inside of it is starting to rust out also.

    Thanks!! I know Hidden Hitch makes something of the sort, but I’m not sure how far it’s tucked up. I think Curt makes an OEM replacement so I may go that route so I have a brand new hitch without any rust. I feel like I’d have more time in this one than it’s worth if I sandblasted it and...

    One step closer!!!! Front grille was painted today!! I couldn’t be happier with the way this looks. I came across a box of brand new OEM headlights/parking lights and sidemarkers in my garage so those will look perfect in there. I plan on saving for a set of the Klearz brand clear sidemarkers...

    I’m not sure, the shop has their own glass guy that does installs.

    They’re definitely comfortable, but I always felt like the perfect seats were the leather 96-99 seats lol.

    The quality of this photo isn’t the best since it was a Snapchat, but the new windshield and driver door glass is in!!!. Then fresh tint all around this summer.

    I loved my '05 Z71 Tahoe and actually regret selling it. In reality I should have kept it to use for winter duty. From what my neighbor that bought it said, its getting close to rolling over 300,000 miles. Sunroof never gave me any problems, but I also didn't use it. I think both the GMT...

    Nope, door handles were smoothed and color matched to match the rest of the truck. Thanks!

    Rear bumper is painted and assembled with the new step pads. License plate housings will be color matched also. I’d say the rear end definitely looks cleaned up with the bumper on.

    We have red….lots and lots of it!!! :p I stopped over to the paint shop yesterday and took my first look at the truck. I was absolutely blown away how good it looks. There is still quite a bit of work to be done as well as some paint still like my tailgate & front grille. Windshield and...

    Not much going on at the moment. I decranked the TB 2 turns on each side tonight to get the front end a bit lower. Pretty sure both lower ball joints are going to need to be replaced soon too along with all 4 shocks. It rolled over 138,000 the other day, but I’ve been just enjoying it for the...

    So…..apparently my truck is mostly painted and someone has been keeping it a secret :D To say I’m excited is an understatement. I got this photo sent to me tonight as a teaser. I’m going to look at it Friday when I stop into the shop. I have to drop off my rear bumper brackets, rubber door...

    The wheel wells were sprayed yesterday and thrown back in. The factory ones weren’t in terrible shape, but were rusting at the top. The pair from the front clip I bought last year were cleaned up and painted.

    Let me clarify, I’m not a fan of red trucks at all, but I remember the excitement my dad had when he brought it home in 1998. For that reason, I’ve always loved victory red…on this truck lol.

    I swear, the teaser photos I’ve been getting are really making me excited to see the truck in person. I had this sent to me the other day. I absolutely love Victory Red!!

    Well yesterday was the day…..paint work has officially started!!! Buddy sent me some Snapchats of the work while he was in the spray booth so excuse the emojis lol. I don’t have a tailgate photo, but he welded up all of the screw holes from the plastic bedliner that was attached. Should clean...

    There’s a lot of history with this truck. When it gets painted I’m going with red and no two tone. It’s going to be getting lifted when it’s all said and done. If it was going to stay factory height I would have left the two tone, but it’s time to change things for the better.

    He started spraying the rocker guard today also. I wasn’t going to have it done, but eventually I’ll be running a mud tire and really don’t want my fresh paint getting peppered with stones. Seeing some color really got me excited, even if it’s just the base color. He said once this cures, you...

    Well the truck is finally one solid color…it’s in primer!! One step closer…. Don’t mind the panel gaps lol. Doors are just lightly bolted on and everything else is just sitting there. Honestly I’m really excited to see how the doors sit with the new Cunningham Machine parts I ordered :p

    I had a couple Snapchat updates sent to me last night. My buddy worked on Saturday so he could get the rear window pulled before he lays down some primer. He was able to finally get the roof sanded down too. I know I keep saying it, but primer should be coming soon. They’ve been getting swamped...
