Default My New Daily. Turbo 4x4 !! =)

It's not what some would have expected lol. Always wanted a lifted truck, so finally found what I liked and fit my budget. 2005 GMC 2500, 6.6L, truck is 100% stock other then 8" FabTech lift, 2" lift keys, and Toyo open country 37x13.5's on Hummer H2 rims. Has a 162k on the LLY/Allison combo.

Already de-baged everything but the 4x4, ordered new black billet grill, and dropped rear tails off to be blacked out the correct way. Also have a set of AMP electic steps ordered, going on this week I hope.

Next up is the basic LLY stuff, elbow mod, 4" or 5" exh, and some kind of tune and call it good for now. Like to do different rims and 38s in the spring.

As of now, red is relieved of tow duty and has free rides to the track.

When I got it from Texas, drove it to SC!

Nice find man! Too much lift for my liking but overall, looks like a nice truck. I've used a couple sets of those amp steps and they are awesome. Super reliable.

Now go get a 1000rwhp sheet for ol red!

Very nice. That truck is a beast. Just installed a set of the bestop electric side steps. (just like the amp ones) I really like them. I'm sure you'll be pretty happy with them.

That's badass , I'd leave it as is it's sick .

Edit: the only thing I'd think about doing would be to add a torsion bar drop delete kit , tucks up the bars and crossmember and looks cleaner , I always wanted to do that to mine but never did .
