Something new for me

Picked this one up this past weekend. Coming from corvettes and Vseries Cadillacs, it was time to do something a little different. Drop and exhaust coming ASAP. Wheels and tires after that. Then who knows? Got her first coat of wax on it yesterday to help keep everything from sticking.

For the longest time I used collonite insulator wax.. I decided to try some meguires liquid stuff this go round. Not sure I've ever noticed a difference, especially on white. But the bugs don't stick as bad now, so mission accomplished..
....lol I like your thinking

And now wheels ordered.. Need to figure out if I want to paint them or go through the trouble of having them powder coated.
I got lucky and all the stuff I've been trying to sell from my vette moved all the same weekend. So I was able to order all my goodies faster than expected.
In route is;
-Mcgaughys adjustable drop (going to start with 4/6)
-22 inch replica wheels ( going to paint or PC in bronze )
I'll probably pick up some Nitto or Toyo tires in 285/40 22.
I thought I read you can program the TPMS in the newer trucks like you used to be able to without the tool, can anyone confirm this? I'd like to sell my factory tires and mount some winter tires on there before too long. Being able to swap back and forth yourself sounds a lot more attractive.

Corsa exhaust have always been really good with drone and quiteing up when your foot is out of it though. Either way I am meeting someone tomorrow to sell my corvette wheels, so that will give me a chance to see how it is on the highway.
