This is the truck right now

What it looked like when I bought it. Excluding the yellow chain, hooks, and bow tie. And I replaced the front bumper

I had to rebuild all the front steering and suspension (ties rods, pitman arm, shocks, power steering gearbox) I should have taken more pictures.
Old shock and tie rods

All four old shocks were trash

Then I got some nice wheels, some Escalade/Denali stocks

Then I decided to take the 4x4 decal off since the driver side one was half gone. Didn't look too bad.

I like it! Looks mean with the black rims.

Then it was time for an interior upgrade, the headliner was awful, the carpet was embedded with mud.

Then some after pictures, cleaned all the plastic, got a new carpet and headliner, and upgraded the rear speakers

I put in 2 kicker 12s and an overhead console since I liked the look of them. It had the 60/40 when I bought it and I really wanted a center console. Bought a tan console off eBay and scored some captains seats real cheap.

How does that even happen to a headliner? It looks like someone put a little slice in it every time they drove or something.

Then I got some big wheels and tires. 15x10 wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich 32x11.50

I had to do a small amount of trimming so they wouldn't rub at full turn. I also cranked the torsion keys a little bit. The wheels were at full turn in these pics.
