Hey guys (and gals?) - New to the forum, long time GM truck owner. Sold my '96 K2500 Suburban back in April with ~220K on the clock. Has been in the family since '97.
The Suburbillac:
Replaced it with an '04 YXL K2500 I found in Chicago. It already had a terrible set of pitted 20s, 3 whooped Zeons and a new firestone something or other in a 275x55r20 (weird size).
I promptly removed the terrible chrome plastic mirror caps
And installed a kenwood nav, amp, sub, etc. Have put maybe 3K pulling miles on it so far, and it does great. With the JK, the heavy equipment trailer, and gear, my normal load is maybe 7500lbs.
While sitting at the body shop waiting for a new rear bumper after being rear ended, it was broken into and all of my tools, the double din nav, the amp, box and sub, and various other things were stolen. Ordered a new radio (the new dnn990...pretty cool wifi setup) sub, and amp.
Finally getting around to installing a set of helos I've had lying around taking up space, 20x9 -12. Tough finding time with the newborn at home!
and a set of 305x55R20 Toyo Open Country AT II's
Want to use the bumper from the 06-07 (classic) Sierra and do the HD chevy hood. Haven't decided whether I'll paint the whole bumpers and door trim to match, or just make the chrome black.
I'll post up pics as I update stuff. Any input is appreciated
