Default Update on my Red beast....well kind of a beast.....ok its not a beast yet.

While my truck was on jackstands during a drivetrain issue I decided to do some work that I have wanted to do for a long time. I have had a McG's 2/4 drop on my list as well as replacing all of my 250k mile factory shocks. I replaced the well worn OEM's with 4 Belltech Street Performance shocks. I really cant explain what a difference new shocks make. I knew it was going to make a difference but wow! Its a new truck!

I also did a few visual mods to the front. I lightly smoked the lights on the front end with some VHT that a friend gave me. I figured when I get my new lights ill have them done by a pro and add some clear coat. I also tested out plasti-coat on my GMC logo. I think im going to keep it like that for a while. As I finished modding things my truck was fixed and I wanted to get down ad drive it. I started to take the chrome molding off both sides but was only able to get the drivers side off before I HAD to drive it. I'll be doing the passenger side this weekend. Anyways....mods in sig. Let me know what you think!!

You won't have any issues. These miles are with a sprited driver and a heavy right foot. You have plenty of years left!!
