    In the sun the color was right in but in the shade it was no so I had to repaint the grille and thought I’ll do the bumper too.

    You can also see I got rid of my pods under the bumper and added dual 8” spot single row light bars. More light then the cubes, more hidden and less in the way Incase I go through something deep. More pics along the color match

    No Blinkers/Signals

    My 96 k1500, the blinkers aren't working on any corner of the truck. #16 fuse was blown, replaced it, didn't fix it. Checked all the grounds, checked all the bulbs, replaced the blinder/hazard relay no change. This is the 2nd Switch I have put in it thinking the first one was bad. They were both...

    I saw a truck with the beads of the wheels painted Red, so I wanted to paint mine the same. Bought some Victory Red dupli color spray paint and went to pulling off wheels and taping them off. Looked like someone stole the wheels off it sitting in the drive way. You can see the prep on the...

    Went hunting a couple weekends ago and I noticed that I need a front diff cover to cover up my electric acuator and my differential. So i decided to make one. I bought two factory aluminum skid plates from z71 trucks from two 98 chevys. I bent the skid plates so that it had a higher angle that...

    The Thermo 4x4 acuator tooked about 15 seconds for it to engaged, so I did the electric upgrade with wiring harness to fix that. Now it switches to 4wd in about 2 seconds

    Well I didn't like the 8 wide inch rims, wanted some 10 wides, so I found a good deal on some Procomp 252 15x10s that are -44 offset with fake bead locks.

    Also got a custom tune from PCM For Less with a 89 octane performance tune. Finally got the speedometer right for the tire size. Also took some pics for fun to see what it looked like all done.

    Next was tow mirrors! I love Tow mirrors, I don't tow anything but I like the way they look and it helps backing up off road and in parking lots.

    Noticed that the Passenger side bed side was a different shade of red. So apparently the truck had been repainted from an accident or something. Dead give a way was the yellow bed support brace. Also when I had debadged the truck on that part the paint came off on the bed and there were some...

    When I bought it, there was a popping sound everytime I turned to the left. Thought it was the cv axle, but it wasnt. Changed the upper ball joints and nothing. Still popped everytime I turned. So i changed out the sway bar end links, just cause they needed to be done. Next I did the lower ball...

It paid for some shorty headers, an...
