Can't really blame you. If I had a 6+3 I wouldn't either. To much time in money in it already. Hell, I'm in the middle of installing my 6, and I can tell you I never wanna have to take this off haha

you too man! hopefully will be done with this money pit before new years or hopefully before my birthday in feb. All I have left is re-gear, tire/wheels, and paint. Then im done and can start saving some money for a newer truck and keep this one as a toy or endless project/ weekend driver.

Hey guys. I havent been on here in awhile. But I always love updating my thread. Because nothing else makes me more mad than finding a build thread that just suddenly ended with no updates, and I dont want to be that person. So here are the updates on the truck.

I should roll over 169,000 this week. Its been lifted for about 65 weeks according to my calender. Its been a great truck. On my third waterpump, 2nd hub assembly, 3rd set of balljoints, 2nd idler pulley, 2nd tensior pulley, 4th serpentine belt, 2nd fuel pump, 2nd power steering pump, 2nd u-joint. All the typical wear and tear. But its my baby, and I try my best to take care of her.

I honestly forgot if I mentioned whether or not I got the PA body lift, But I did. As well as some zone torsion keys, which actually raised my truck quite a bit. It does indeed ride stiff though.

Well here she is, A big difference compared to the first page of this thread to now. Im pround to say I've built her to how she is now, and I dont plan on selling her, though I do intend on finding a new truck, one that gets better gas mileage, perhaps a duramax. But this truck is mine until the day It is totaled.

Thank you to everyone that still follows my slow build thread. Here is the truck, I painted my grille white and I plan on de-molding it within the next few weeks. Happy holidays everyone

Love our fvckin truck man. I get pissy that mine doesn't look something like yours after owning it a year, but this is a good reminder that stuff takes time. Helluva job you've done putting in the work to get it where it is now

Truck looks really good. And You need to pop on more often.
