    I'm still alive! lol. It's been quite awhile since I've been on here, life's been a f*cked up trip this last year to put it mildly. Went from management at my old job doing damn well, back to working retail. The avalanche is gone, got rid of that back in April of last year and a couple cars...

    Update time, ordered the HT383E. Need to order a few more parts, new intake manifold/gaskets, motor mounts, mirrors and a cherry picker. Been busting my a** at work and decided it's time to get my truck back. She should be back on the road by next month.

    Not much of an update but here we go anyway lol, haven't started her in months, has had the mirrors taken off and put on Abigail, and wheels robbed off of it for the avalanche. After I get some wheels for the av would like to take this truck for a ride, miss driving this thing, been about 6...

    Got the driver side completely finished, half the steering swapped and the insert installed in the grille. The old steering was pretty bad, all the joints were like wet noodles. It didn't want to come apart without violence and harsh language either lol, sledge hammer, pickle forks and fire got...

    Ordered most of the parts for her last weekend, all new steering (everything minus the centerlink), front brakes, upper control arms, inside and outside door handles, locks/ignition switch and armrests. Need to get the grille, billet insert, tailgate handle, tailgate cables and tint. Sh*t'll be...

    Got a set of wheels for her, my old man traded in his truck so I bought his old ones. Looks pretty good. Mayhem 20's with 285 60 20 Atturo Trail Blade ATS.

    Got the paint 95% done, need to do the hood and tailgate. Came out alright, not a painter but from 5 ft away it looks good lol, have 3 spots where I went heavy and it ran a little but it's good enough. Going to pop the hood off, easier for me to spray it sitting on a tarp on the floor. Thanks...

    Found a guy to rebuild the motor in Betty, is cheaper than getting that boat motor but not 100% on what route I want to go. Picked up a new job that pays more and better hours which is great, might be able to swing finishing both trucks this year and make headway on my other projects. Looking at...

    This is the paint job from hell, my first go the gun started spitting halfway through so I had to strip the passenger side and tailgate back down, bought more and am waiting for the rain to stop at night so I can finish. Spent more than I would like on paint so however it comes out this time...

    Thank you Took her out for a spin today, the ride is firm but doesn't bottom out which is great. Cleared the speed bumps and inclines just fine.

    Got the rear finished over the weekend. The center of the fenders are 26.25 in the front and 27.25 in the rear with 40lb's in the helper bags and 1.5 lift shackles. Really happy with how it turned out, 6/7 gives it a mean stance.

    Got a lot done to the truck, Betty is getting jealous of all the attention I'm giving Abigail lol. Got the bedside fiberglassed and hung, stereo installed and rear notched. Fixing the bedside was pretty easy, need to get some more filler to finish the outside. She's about 80% ready for paint...

    Took a little bit of a break from the bodywork to work on the interior some more. Decided to keep the wood trim since it hides a lot of the holes in the door panels and makes them usable. Refinished the wood and blacked out the inserts, looks pretty good. My door panels will be the same colors...

    Hoe' has been doing good, put the 20's from Betty on since the 22's on the rear were almost bald. Both front tires from Betty had uneven wear, but the passenger side was the worse of the 2. The outside half of it was burnt halfway down. She is almost due for another oil change and a new battery...

    Brand new but the passenger side PCB is loose. Bought them and the passenger side PCB was loose, got a replacement set with the same issue so figured I'd put a set up on here. $15 plus shipping

    Finally pulled it out of the garage for the first time in months the other week, didn't think it would clear the slope on the driveway, it was damn close. Need to roll the fenders so the tires don't hit when it gets aligned, has some aggressive camber currently. Took it for a short ride...

    With a turn of events the extended cab will be staying with me. Took it for a spin the other day, cylinder 5 doesn't want to fire anymore and 4 randomly misses, 7 came up once as well (couldn't get it to replicate missing on 7). Started making a noise that sounded like TV static and had the...

    Goo Gone gel and a pressure washer work well for removing Plasti-dip, spray it on and let it sit for awhile before pressure washing, it should come right off. Lighter fluid and this stuff work great also, both more or less melt it. Figured the last two out when I re-did the rims on my hoe'.

    The truck has been doing well with the new front calipers, as mentioned in my reply to Dravec the hoe has a 14' Baer big brakes all around. Haven't gotten around to painting the front calipers, the night I put them on I didn't have time. Going to look for a place to turn my back rotors since...

    Baer didn't want to sell me another caliper, got the 300 ones put on and are exactly the same. I forgot to mention the rotors are 14' ones all around not stock.

    The fun never ends, drove the truck to work and back and the front driver side caliper was only half working. When I got home I checked the rotors and the driver side was aggressively hot. Took it back apart and one piston was stuck down, held the working piston down and pumped the brakes to get...

    Got the ball joints and brakes finished, rotors showed up Monday while I was working on taking the front apart. Baer support is terrible, sent them a message last Thursday about shipping the rotors since I never got a tracking number. Never got an answer or an update to my order, according to...

    Slowly been bring the truck back to stock, got the exterior lights and front bumper swapped back over, and did a tune up. Still need to take the leds/floor mats out of the interior, the GM truck box, the movable light on the fire wall (took both those from the burb before I sold that) and the...
