My 1998 sierra z71 build thread

[98sierra4x4]

my truck has been replaced with another truck as your truck's twin

But damn, I want both of your truck

Paint your rockers black and you can be his twin, or triplet again lol

When are you going to work on catching up, I can only wait so long before the modding bug hits again!




It's funny, I got a broken GMC grill at my work that I just repaired. Was gonna try it, but now looking at your truck I might not LOL

Yeah I dont recommend it lol the gmc grille is long gone lol.

What are those studs around the grill opening?

Bolts lol the po did it.

It'll be different soon enough

Did you get the spindles?

Well I guess I should update this thread haha. The truck has come a long way since December. Lets start here:

I bought new tires, The old Falkens just werent cutting it anymore so I bought Hankook Dynapro ATM's. They costed $560 out the door installed. Needless to say im very happy with them and would recomend them to anyone. They do great in snow, mud and are good on the road too.

Then I made an HD wiring harness, did the 4HI mod and installed 35w 6000k HIDs in the low beams and 55w 6000k HIDs in the high beams. I really like the light output now, these headlights put my buddys 32" led light bar to shame lol.

Thanks! I made the harness my self with 14 gauge wire and 3 relays. I bought the relays at fleet farm. You can also get them on amazon/eBay.
