    bursh guard brackets

    Clever actually. I think I may make some bumper tabs also. Give it that extra strength. Im not trying to make the Titanic but I want it to be able to take a few hits and not worry about it bending

    bursh guard brackets

    I had seen some angle iron ones on another truck site I stumbled upon after some intensive Googling lol. I think thats my plan. Just get some nice stout angle iron, sandwich it between the tow hooks and the frame then run it out and up front, weld on some plate steel for the guard to bolt to...

    bursh guard brackets

    Hey all, just got a brush guard from an 03 tahoe from the local fire dept for the low price of free and I have one issue: the tahoe itself is long gone and the brackets that mount the guard to the frame went with it. I was thinking about making some that sandwich in between the frame and the tow...

    heres mine, sorry I dont have better pictures of the side, Ive since put a 3" suspension lift on it. American Racing AR767 D window steelies I got from a buddy of mine, were charcoal gray for a while until I painted them black, 16x8 with nitto terra grapplers, now wrapped in new procomp radial...

    whats a good brake controller?

    Ive been searching these too lately, been needing to get one so I can tow a little bigger trailer with firewood on it since I dont have much bedspace (crossbox, side box, shortbed, soon to have another side box) - but the brakes on the truck alone wont stop a dual axle trailer loaded with wood...

    Paint Codes

    Been tossing an idea around in my head for a while now, I like the black on my truck, but its all scratched up and is showing sun damage (5+ year MAAKO job by the p/o) I was thinking about replacing it with a nice dark froest or "hunter" green with a light metallic, keeping the black accents...

    Cab Light Install

    I used the Pacer kit for mine on ebay when i put them on like 5 years ago. Those didnt need the big hole in the middle, just small ones for the screws and the wire to fit through, then each of the lights is suitcase connected to the main feeder wire that I powered with a mini STA-CON into the...

    Kodiak/Topkick Exterior Door Handles

    Im glad I stumbled upon this thread, Ive wanted to do this mod since I saw them and the tow mirrors on 88GMCTruck's 99, I used his relay circuit to make my mirror lights signals and marker lights as well. Ive found a set of 2 on ebay made by Doorman (I have their replacement roof light lenses...

    Wheel Trim Rings

    I just had one of those "why didnt I think of that moments" lol anybody got a decent set they dont want? Also might need to remove some of the clips as my wheels have weights of various sizes on the outer rim edge too and I dont think the clips will fit with a weight there.

    3" Rough Country Suspension

    thats a sweet lookin truck. I want to also add a 2" bl to my 3" suspension lift, it looks good and doesnt show too much frame, and wont pick the truck up off the 285's too far so it looks like its on roller skate wheels lol

    3" Rough Country Suspension

    Im not sure that longer shocks will fit without hitting something, its all a relatively tight fit once its put together, the kit essentially just compresses the suspension. Probably shoulda waited and got a 4" to deal with the LBJ angles etc. The LBJ's need to be replaced, I just havent had the...

    Wheel Trim Rings

    Hey all, I have black AR 767 D Window American Racing wheels on my truck (16x8), and I love them, but, I was wondering if the chrome trim rings that the stock steelies come with on the trucks would snap onto the American Racing wheels as the wheel itself looks different on the bead edges. I dont...

    3" Rough Country Suspension

    The one on that tahoe was the old kit, same one I bought and installed on my truck, its a pain in the ass to put on to be blunt, I was also essentially doing it by myself in my garage, but, once its on, no issues, it rides rougher but its not unbearable and I like how the truck looks, no shock...

    CARR truck steps

    I too wanna put a 2" BL on my truck on top of my 3" suspension, I know how the cab lift works, what about the bed? Steel or poly blocks under the cross members? I figure since the frame rails will be more visible the steps will help distract the eye from the hangdown lol.

    Debadging vs. badges - pics

    my truck came with the impact strips, no Z71 decals, and a debadged tailgate. I left it that way and blacked out the chrome fender trim, if I could figure out how to upload pictures Id add one, but the truck is all black with a chrome rear bumper, stock chrome on the impact strips and grille...

    CARR truck steps

    Hey guys, been considering a set of black carr steps for the front of my truck under the 2 main doors, my truck is a 3 door and 2 steps on one side would look dumb IMO and I also dont like nerf bars. Anyone have em? They seem like theyd be flimsy because it looks like they mount to the body not...

    most bad a** winch bumper i have seen

    I love the look of this bumper, and with the schedule 40 pipe construction, it probably rivals Ranch Hand in quality and strength. This on your truck? If so how do you like it, I was curious as to the rough pricetag and if its winch capable as I dont see a roller block in this particular one. I...

    tow mirrors

    how does one go about putting the teflon strip and spring stop in/on? anyone have pictures of the install and where the parts are available? I was thinking of using a piece of foam behind the glass to support it. The housings themselves do shake due to as previously mentioned, the mirrors being...

    tow mirrors

    While Im thinkin about it, I have the ebay created GMT800 tow mirrors on my truck, I love them, but, I have two issues with them, even with the supplied stiffener brackets the mirrors still shake horribly goin down the road, and, the lower half of the signal LED's on both sides (mine are both...

    3" Rough Country Suspension

    wow, didnt know there was quite this much crap against the kit, good thing I only paid 200 for it. It looks like the guy with the tahoe didnt install the longer brake lines and installed the shock extender out instead of up, which essentially does...nothing for lift and demolish the cv boots as...

    3" Rough Country Suspension

    Hey all, just got a full (old version with bolt in ball joints) rough country 3" lift for my K1500, I was curious as to how big of a pain in the butt its gonna be to install, as theyve since updated the kit and the instructions and the old ones are...vague... it comes with all 4 shocks and...
