Default New 'Round Here

Hey y'all, I'm Mike. I guess I registered here quite some time ago, but I can't find an intro post or anything else for that matter. Anyways, I live in NW Ohio. My daily driver/work horse/tow rig is a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD 4x4 with a 6.0 gasser under the hood. Ain't much done to it so far, all I've really done is swap out the factory steel wheels for a set of aluminums, upped the tire size to some 265/75/16's, added a Rhino brush guard and custom-built headache rack, and upgraded everyone's favorite factory radio with a Pioneer in-dash. I'm mainly here to get & share tech advice, but I love showing off my vehicles and this one has some more modifications coming it's way. Glad to be here!!!

When I first started with it:


Hauling Junk Cars & Other Stuff With It:





I Painted The Steel Wheels Black:





Added The Headache Rack(Built by a friend and myself)


Swapped Steel Wheels For Aluminums:



And where it sits currently:


Ok, I know, alot of pics.... But I take alot of pics!!!! I like sharing what I'm up to and enjoy hearing/seeing what everyone else is doing. Glad to be here!!!

-Mike

It beats Cummins trucks all day without engine mods.... been good enough for me so far!! Haha but I'd rather start pulling this thing 300ft in the stock altered class eventually vs. draggin!!! I'd shove one of these 6.0's in a foxbody mustang for that....
