Hey! This thread isn’t about me or my lack of build progress.

@dantheman1540 Says it in the title I can’t imagine expecting anything else

@1FastBrick I wish… nope. This was supposed to be an easy turn around for a temporary daily driver but I don’t know what world they are living in.

Replaced my driver side rear turn signal on Monday, alignment taken care of on Thursday. Moved my girlfriend into her new apartment in San Antonio on Friday with the help of a 12x8 U-Haul trailer. Round trip was roughly 600 miles, 14 MPG driving through the hills between 70-80 MPH. Hit 290k miles on the way down there.

Time for an oil change now. I have a down pipe ready to get put in as well, had $30 Summit bucks expiring and said screw it I'll order it. The bad side of that trip was this truck needs shocks so bad. I am trying to wait for Summit's Labor Day sale but I really would like to get them before that so I may just eat the $100 savings.
Dove hunting on Sept. 1st will be a 250+ mile trip, Axis deer hunting in South TX in Sept. will be another 600 mile trip and then I have the Pontiac Southern Nationals in October which will be a 120 mile trip with the car hauler (TBD if car will be driving there or if I'll be hauling it but taking the trailer just in case).

3" MBRP down pipe installed, new shocks all the way around and cab mounts are in. Damn this truck rides good now! The rear shocks actually were still good but the fronts were completely shot.

Probably the last MBRP product I buy. The exhaust kit I got they sent the wrong tail section and the heat wrap on this is atrocious. It literally fell out of the clamp before I could even get it in there. Does sound pretty wicked though.

Need to order some H2 bumpstops and a new parking brake cable, I cut mine so I could lift the cab up easier.

I just noticed that I never put any parts or pics lol

I used the S&B cab mounts, I did not go with the GM hydraulic rears.
For shocks I used Fox 2.0 shocks all around. So far I really like them. Already put about 100 miles on the truck.
For the down pipe I used the MBRP downpipe.

Now I just need to decide what I want to build or work on next...
