Drilling the mounting holes


Mounted up




It actually is just slightly higher than the front air damn but with it jacked up and me kneeling down you can see it from the front.



And a random dirty pic of it on the jack stands. I hate spring up here.
Thats what is known as an "Alakan splitter"


for you cup fans

Yup that's what I was going for. Still a sharp looking truck all cleaned up but doesn't stand out like all my old trucks did. I have a heavy foot and don't need any extra attention from the cops Plus the looks on peoples faces with what looks like a nice work truck smokes the tires at 40MPH is priceless

trying to talk my step-dad out of his 06 RCSB Z71. It mostly just collects dust in their garage, only has ~20k on the clock and has had all Amsoil since new. It whispers to me every time I'm at my parents house that it wants to go FAST. BUT, works been slow and I broke my leg without insurance, so I have to catch up some before I get a new toy. So it will sit in the garage all warm and cozy until my wallet(woman) says I can liberate it.

Creampuff is an understatement, it's been babied and barely driven. I've wanted this truck since he first got it, then I saw ShredSled's truck... Now I Must have it! My plan is to copy Shred's look as best I can, I lust over his truck, I have a pic of it as my desktop picture and I sit and stare at it often.

06 with 20k miles... that's just begging to be modded.

+1 Alaska seems to be on the rise here recently
