All I would do for looks is delete the roof rack and paint all wheel well and lower associated trim black like a denali. I think the truck is a beauty.

I talked to the owner of Carven exhaust when I was looking at getting mine. He said the R series is like having a open soda can under your truck lol. Which is why I went with the TR didn’t want it overly loud. Now they have a in between version.

It's not my DD and I have a Lincoln for quiet.

Thank you buddy

I vote for a blower or twin turbos.;)

I seriously thought about blowing it like 7 years ago. Even had some research done.

If you want it loud, get an Aero Turbo. It's designed to AMPLIFY the sound under throttle so it's actually louder than straight pipes. It's what I'm running on The Beast and I love it. Especially great when I'm blowing the doors off a ricer who's on my right.

Didn’t know you had an NBS. Cool truck! I’ve always like the black Z71 burb. Ironically I was just in the junkyards hunting for tail light harnesses today and the 2003 burb I found in white had esky appliqués. I was like whoa! I’m glad to see my local pick and pull yards are starting to stock more NBS trucks and more in the 2003 and up range.

Thanks buddy.

Yep no one really knew on here about the nbs since I always messed so much with the 2 nnbs I had. Well a few people knew but not a lot.

I've pretty decided that I'm going to keep this truck for a long as I can see..... while the newer ones will continually get upgraded. Had I bought this one used it would have been long gone honestly. This one has had some minor issues but I still kept it. Also, right now the front end is making noise to going to be a rebuild VERY SOON.

Suxks getting old lol.

I remember when the obs trucks were the newest and sleekest things to come out. The 1988 c/k line look was revolutionary for a truck. Especially since the Dodges back then were so spartan and blocky

I saw that. I'm curious to hear it. Haven't seen any clips yet. I think it's called RPT or something.
