December '07 TOTM: Spoolin
Congrats bro
I always wanted a Sierra but never thought I could afford one. I finally pulled the trigger and bought one in 2005 after having owned a Typhoon (lotta tickets ) and a Colorado (trying to be sensible ) This is how she looked when I brought her home from the dealership!
Within the first month I had it lowered 2/4, Billet Grill and Flowmaster, followed by an 6.5” in-dash TV, 2 10” subs and a some amps. I hadn't planned on keeping the stock rims but they grew on me and loved the look. However the ride was horrible and I consistently put the tires through the wheel wells.
Those minor mods lasted a year until I started missing the power of my Typhoon. That itch landed me on the phone with STS, which landed me on the doorsteps of PT.net and then onto bankruptcy!
List of mods in the truck are

Thanks alot guys I appreciate the compliments alot. I was excited to of been nominated and even more so to have won. As much of an honor it is to have won against two trucks that were equally bad *** I'm more stoked about all the awesome people that I've met up this point from this site and hopefully in the future. Most of the guys who know me can attest to this but if anyone comes out to the LA area your more than welcome to give me a call and come beat on my truck!! She's no prom queen so I'm not worried about her putting out for good people!!
Thanks again everyone and thank you 1truess and 03Sierraslt, both you guys are sporting sweet trucks.
PS And at least they are currently running!
