shakenfake's Sierra SLT LBZ thread (BORING)
As most of y'all know I brought home an LBZ last night. High mileage but damn clean. This is hopefully my last truck. I don't really like anything newer than 2007 except for K2XXs and by the time I can really afford to toy with those I'm sure all the electronics on them with be defunct and hard to come by. I'm a tech hater sorry.
Plans as of right now are:
That's probably all I plan on doing. Just want to get a "pro-OEM" look lol
Plans as of right now are:
- Esky antenna delete
- Color matched fender flares
- OEM cashmere vinyl floor mats
- Full debadge
- Cleared Denali headlights
- Rear console cubby
- Lowering shackles probably
- I'd like to lose some weight on the truck and do a full exhaust. We'll see.
- Esky handles
- LEDs all the way around
- white with red needles gauge cluster and red switches.
- NNBS esky shifter

1. A lot
2. A lot, probably a little too much but comparables told me it wasn't so bad.
3. I wanted one. Really though I needed a truck for truck stuff again. The extended cab has slowly spiraled away in terms of how much work I have done to it. I will probably end up towing a boat by next year and have 4 other vehicles that I will start towing most likely, Grand Prix, BMW, extended cab, Impala. I say that to somewhat justify my purchase but really I just wanted a diesel. I am doing more stuff out in the country on the weekends as well so needed 4x4.
Since the extended cab took a **** on me 3 or 4 weeks ago I started looking around. Wanted to get into a diesel because I fell in love with the platform, not from a truck though actually from regular passenger cars. Wanted a crew cab for the space. Probably didn't need it but it's what I wanted. I am sure I will get some looks and a lot of "you don't need it" but meh I like it. I don't really need anything I have, just enjoy it.

"Need" is far too objective. You're a big boy, you get what you want. I was really just curious what sparked the need for one.
If you just wanted one, that's fine too. I have too many things that I just wanted so now I have them.... For better or for worse.

Haha
What really sparked the need was my extended cab taking a ****, the Impala is in pieces, BMW doesn't drive and the Grand Prix doesn't run.
My want list was an LBZ with the highest trim package. 4x4 was optional but somewhat on it. I really wanted graphite interior but the tan on black has grown on me already and it looks kickass in my opinion.

No this will stay stock or minimal mods. Diesels cost too much to fart around with imo.
