NathanJax's 2007 Crew Cab Silverado Build thread

[NathanJax]

New cleared headlights are on. All new bulbs as well. Old headlights were junk and had a stupid PnP HID kit. Threw them in the trash. I'll keep the factory headlights so I can play around with a retrofit kit and figure out how exactly I can do what I'm wanting to.

New and freshly painted HD grille on as well. Can't wait to get the hood and bumper on too...

And I took some black vinyl and quickly blacked out the rear bowtie. You can also see the aftermarket back up camera built in to the liftgate handle.

Grille looks 100 times awesome, clears too. [emoji106] I gotta get me one of those back up camera's man.

I like the woodgrain steering wheel spokes. I'm not the biggest fan of woodgrain, but with the pewter interior and having all the other woodgrain pieces, it seems the steering wheel would look out of place without them- like a lower-class wheel in a classy, sort of luxury interior.

Front end looks 100X better.

Liking the mods and plans so far.

I wanted to get an on board air tank, ended up getting this today...

Hornblasters full setup... not bad.

Tool box is already off. Painted all calipers black. Got all the OEM bolts to take the body lift off yesterday. Hopefully should have it off in a couple days depending on how this storm hits. Once the body lift is off, I'll take the steps off. With 3 young kids, they need them to get in the truck...

Just stepped outside and took this pic

Looking fly guy!
Can't wait to see that body lift off.
So with new heads came new bulbs? No led turns and silverstars at least or all halogen?

I bought new (standard halogen) bulbs when I got the headlights. When I do my retrofit (soon), I'll figure out which bulbs I'll be doing.

Of course, I am a redneck hillbilly!

So today I took the plunge and fix my air bag cover. You can get replacements on eBay but it's something I wasn't really wanting to do. I literally had to take the airbag apart and put it back together... But it looks so much better.

Yeah me too.

Brushed spokes will calm the interior down a notch and will make the woodgrain on dash and console stand out more. But it's certainly a personal preference.

Peer pressure is a *****... just ordered the brushed spokes. Will be here Monday...

Gotta do a write up on this man. I know a guy who has a black bumper off a 14.

Got my 9 piece Bull Rings in today...

 

[NathanJax]

And done. I like having 9 additional spots to tie stuff down to.

Unsure if I like the silver or not... will put up a pole...
