I'm Awesome
Hey everyone, my name is Josh. I'm from Sussex County, NJ.
Always loved/driven/raced/wheeled only the GMs from 12 second 5/6 speeds to lifted trucks.
My truck and I have a long history of love and hate. Long story short, in 4 years the truck has spent more time sitting in my driveway than it has on the road. Totaled once, got a total rebuild (frame is from a '88 1500, panels are from tahoes, suburbans, and 1500's) - did a body lift while it was apart; year or so later it got smashed up in the woods and was taken off the road in the beginning of the summer of 2010. Over the past year all I did was replace both fenders, doors, and grill; decided to fix all the dents and I had the urge to rhino line the entire truck. I had such a blast with this truck. I've killed more deer than I can count, ended up in several people's backyards at very odd hours of the night and many other stupid things that I will not mention.
As it stands the only things still from the factory in 1997 are the dashboard, steering column, pedals, drive train (except for the rear axle), seat, antenna (lol), door panels and the rear window (which will soon be replaced anyway).
Winter is coming up and I miss driving her; the front end needs new ball joints + an alignment and I can't justify pulling it apart without throwing in a lift.
I ordered a 6" Rough Country lift, upper/lower ball joints, upper/lower control arm bushings, sway bar bushings and tie rods yesterday... hopefully that's all I need but I'll find out over the next few days while I tear the truck apart to prepare it for the lift.
