It has been almost 1 year since I took delivery of my 2006 crew cab Vortek Max. So far 14,000 miles and I love this vehicle.
Here are pics of the day I first saw it.



Pics of how it looks today.



Here's what I have done so far, took off most of the badges,replaced door molding with GMC style molding, 2/4 drop,modified the trailer hitch so it's not so ugly,Bedrug, Jack Rabbit bed cover.

Things left to do. Change to red door handles, exhaust,CAI,tune, wheels and tires.

I want to put theese 20 inch wheels on.


I have not done any performance mod yet as I wanted to get some miles on the warrenty first, but don't worry I will make this thing run good real soon.
How am I doing so far?

I like the wheels you've chosen, I think they'll look pretty good.


You need to change your sig pic, still has the Chevy moulding.

When the county workers fix potholes in the roads around here they just shovel loose asphalt into the holes. They let vhehicles driving by compact the asphalt, and they dont sweep up the loose rocks laying everywhere.

When I drive through thes repaired areas it is impossible to avoid the loose aphalt pieces. It sounds like someone throwing handfulls of pebbles at the sides of my truck. Thats why I have mudflaps, when the paint gets dinged up I'll remove the flaps. The paint is still cherry, and the mudflaps have done a lot to keep it that way.

Get those wheels in chrome, a tire/wheel shop near me has them in the window, and they look way better than in pics. BTW, do you guys think those wheels are very heavy?
