Spray can of bedliner, 2 cans of trim paint, masking supplies, new bulbs, all new black front lights




Swapped the black bumpers over from the 94 suburban, painted the grille with trim paint, painted the fender flares with bedliner to cover pitting, then trim paint on top of the bedliner. I have more pictures, but my company information is very clear. Don't want to break the site rules.

Also got my exhaust installed today. This was the left overs from the 94 as well. Magnaflow Y-pipe to bring the dual 2 inch pipe into a single 3, Borla XR1 round, 3 inch to 4 inch flare, v-band clamp, 4 inch tailpipe. The reason for the 4 inch tailpipe was I had 2 option for good fitment, cheap 4 inch or 3xpensive 3 inch magaflow. I chose the 4 inch. Love the sound. Sound clips to come.

Purchased a wiring kit for the lights and got them installed.

Some of those pre-fabbed fog light wiring kits are really nice. Makes the install a breeze too. Looks nice Andy!

How do you like that new exhaust system so far?

I usually make my own wiring harnesses for my lights, but giving my current living conditions, I don't have that access to all my supplies.

I love the exhaust. It has a very deep aggressive growl. I wasn't sure how it would sound with all the different size piping, but it really surprised all of us at the shop.

It makes the truck sound like there is more there then just a 234,000 mile vortec 350.

I look forward to seeing that. This really has me thinking about my future exhaust...
