Default Dr Jeckyl and Mr Hyde

...or should I say Dr Budhayes3 and Mr Reaper 1...

I was checkin out Ambrosia's thread the other day: it's come a long way , and thinking how different my truck looks now than it did just a few months ago. I'm sure I've posted these pics before, but I don't think I've done any comparo shots. Wish I had some real old pics from when I first got it and it was plain jane stock...but for now, here's some before and afters:

Before (pics taken a winter or two ago) Stock height, factory wheels, 33's (285/75-16 AT's), Gibson dual tailpipes out back, fully badged, mudflaps, tow hooks, etc...









and After (lowered, 285/50's on Gibbs 20's, debadged, deleted mudflaps and tow hooks, removed tail pipes...and a few more performance mods since then)











I love that last shot with the "We Support our Troops" banner...parked in front of a bank that was closed on a Sunday for that one

Anybody else have any before and after pics...even works in porgress? It's nice to see the transformation from average streat beater to head turning ground pounder

Lookin' sharp Bud/Reaper! I can relate. My truck looks different on an almost daily basis. Peeled the nerfs today, next the side emblems.

LOL I remember when I drained the coolant for the first time to swap the radiator and e-fans, thinking "oh ****, what did I get myself into???". Then, less than a year later I'm swapping the engine and tranny, no problem at all.....I love this place!!!

Oh, and I don't mind if you save my pics.
