Default New from south Texas

Ive been on this site for a while but never did an introduction.

I had a 2006 GMC z71 for a few years but as the miles racked up on it I decided I needed a new Tow rig / Daily driver so I bought this...

2012, 2wd, Texas edition, 6.2l, 6 speed!

going to do an intake, exhaust, lowering shackles, and maybe helper air bags. I would love to tune it but IDK about voiding the warranty on a truck that has not had its first oil change.

Here are my other toys:

87 k5 blazer offroad/ beach duty

Used for drifting mostly, but I do track days when I have time, this is what I usually tow.

De-Badged and removed the rear resonator, sounds and looks much better.

Kinda bummed about the horrible orange peel, its the worst ive ever seen.

Slick truck! Sadly, I think the vast majority of new cars, save maybe some higher end brands (though my father's past Infiniti Q45's, 530i, and LS430 had it) have orange peel. It's quicker and cheaper than a top notch paint job.
