The security light is just above the alt gauge. There are several videos on YouTube about it.

Yeah I saw it. That's why I said damnit haha. But apparently you can tune it off with hbtuners. And that's the system he uses.

I absolut

I absolutely intend on doing all the fluids. I just ordered a lower ball joints,in/outter tie rods & sleeves, idler and pitman arm, center link and new rough country upper control arms. Having the brakes checked when they replace all that stuff and it's the guys at my job so I'm sure they'll check the shocks and struts. Also adding a steering stabilizer.

Unless you have 35+" tires, there's no need for a shimmy shock, but good to hear maintenance is top of your list.
Make it safe, and up to date, before making it look beastly

The b pillar emblem is the gold silverado emblem. The previous owner 100% painted the bumpers and bump strips. I can tell bc it's chipped away to chrome in some spots. Which I'll be touching up bc I HATE chrome lol.

Same here. Chrome won't get you home.

If a shimmy shock is the steering stabilizer, then for whatever the wholesale discount is on $60 bucks won't hurt to throw it on. And yeah absolutely, it's supposed to be the car I bought to be safe during the winter so I absolutely want everything at the top of its game.

As for making it look beastly, I still havnt really decided what direction I wanna go with it lol. I don't want it to look like an off road/mudder type truck. We'll see I know one of the first things I plan on doing aesthetically is head&tail lights. Then I'll probably tear apart the cab and paint all the trim. Do some sound deadening.
