What would you do differently? I don't know about you guys, but when I was in high school, I was all about the plstidip and clapped out redneck lookin trucks. (ie: grille guards, headache racks, full replacement bumpers, tons of lift, big beefy tires, etc...). Now I like the stock look. If I were to go buy a new truck, odds are, I'd keep it pretty much stock besides tint, exhaust, etc... I'm more into upgrading the truck to make it a more capable truck. Instead of a lift and huge tires, I prefer stock or slightly lifted with average size tires. Instead of the loud exhaust, I like a nice rumble, nice tone, and a little roar on the throttle. I'd rather focus on towing/hauling capabilities than "how many light bars can I put on this thing?". It's amazing how tastes change.
This is what I started with.
This is the highschool phase
Now the college phase

For me, I would have left the truck pretty much stock looking. I'd do a 3" bodylift, 6 lug swap with a C2500 LD axle and disc swap, stock sawblade wheels with 265 or 285s, Hidden hitch(or the tahoe/burb hitches; whichever ones tuck up with the bumper if you have a body lift), decent sounding muffler w/ stock tailpipe/relocated for the body lift, window tint, tonneau cover, LED interior, 60/40 split bench swap, z71 stickers , 4 hi mod, 4 corner mod... I think that's about it. Oh maybe this paint scheme
I've realized how much money I've put into it over the years of owning this truck, all to find out that it was a waste. What I want now would have cost a fraction of what I have into it right now. Who's to say my tastes won't change again in a couple years?
Enough of my rambling. If you could do it all over again, start from scratch, what would you do differently?
