Painted the ugly red calipers black for now and put the big wheels back on. Also decided to snap a few pics with the newest addition

Just a little update. I finally got around to getting the KYB steering stabilizer installed, and man what a difference it made. The steering feels a lot tighter with the heavy 22's on now. Also ripped out the head unit, and sent it out to be replaced. I have also decided to start cleaning up the undercarriage, but that's gonna have to wait just a bit becuase I have a ton of stuff coming up in the next few weeks. Anyways, I've blabbed enough.....PICS

Huh, hadn't though about the stabilizers. I wonder if it would help a stock truck?

It really depends on how it handles now honestly. Mine wandered with the 22's and now it doesn't. Granted it's really a bandaid in my case because I don't have $750 laying around to replace the whole front suspension. I do wonder if would prolong the life of a good suspension set up tho.

Thank you.

Bumpers
Pirana Denali front bumper BCC99DN
Pirana roll pan RS00P
-www.streetpros.com
-He also sells them on ebay but charges more
-Mesh insert $30
-Save your money and buy OEM Z71 fog lights, because the set they charge $50 are cheap $10 flea market junk.
-Street Scene inserts will fit the lower grill

Hood
HD Hood - new aftermarket at my local salavage yard
-I have seen them on ebay for $300 shipped

Right now I'm close to $700 in those three. When I'm done and the front bumper is how I want it, with the SS grill insert and Z71 fogs I'll have around $850 in all of it minus paint.

So my flip out died, and sonic refunded my money because it was discontinued. I couldn't find anything else I liked for the Hoe so I bout something for the TBSS. Anyways got them installed over the weekend.

TBSS got a new Pioneer 1600

And the Hoe got the old Kenwood single din out of the TBSS. Hey it works for me and I like it so it'll stay for a bit.

Still trying to find the time to install the fog lights. Hopefully soon since the TBSS is where I want it and my garage is semi clean finally.

No bluetooth that I know of but it has the front USB port so that works

I started out thinking I was just going to replace the rear brake pads but did a little more. I noticed the frame and suspension parts looked a bit rusted so I busted out the hose, cleaner, brush, and black spray paint. I probably should've used the wire brush but oh well her are the pics

Found a good deal on a center console at one of the local take a parts so I got to it today. Also changed the outlet cover and ashtray. I'm still torn if I like them blue or not tho. I found about $4 in change under the front seats so it was worth it.

Traded the 22's for these. I have a set of 17" 8 holes coming too. Those PPV center caps are $400 for the set now days alone.
