LED headlights, new iridium plugs and fuel filter.

Had to adjust headlight a little lower, no one flashes me, and visibility is seriously doubled.

Picked up a rough set of sport wheels for $40,

They needed some work, but they had potential.

Inside of rims weren’t just dirty, but rusty as well. After using 000fine steel wool to clean and scrub away all the rust I painted the inside with oil based high gloss black paint. It’s not perfect, but it should keep the rust away for a little while.

Almost forgot, suburban rear sway bar with new energy suspension bushings installed, also new energy suspension bushings for front sway bar.

Picked up a used set of center caps from eBay for $35, but had to polish them up a bit.

Rear tailgate torsion bar installed. Yes you have to drill a couple holes, but I can legit close my tailgate with a single finger. Best $2 spent on truck so far.

New cooper cobra tires installed. 275/60/r15 on all four corners.

Tire shop was telling me that these tires were all wrong and even said if the wider tires in the front made the tuck handle poorly, they would get me a narrower set. Well despite what the tire shop thought, the truck feels perfect, looks great with the wide tires, and with them being the same size, I can rotate them front to back and get the most out of a set of tires.

Extremely jealous of your progress, you're out here knocking things out quick. Meanwhile, I haven't updated my build thread in months.
