Well the time finally came where someone bought the wifes 2004 Tahoe and I knew it was time to either buy a junker, or buy something that I completely 100% planned to keep for 5+ years. I have been in love with this truck since I first saw it and it is my fave GM color. I ended up getting a deal that I couldn't pass up and I literally have not stopped smiling ear to ear since it became mine. I have always wanted to have a lowered truck and was scared that I would hate it. As Lee told me I jumped both first first and got this truck. I love being lowered and can't believe it took me so long to have one.

StrokerAce03 and myself went and got the truck on Saturday. Lots of driving and a very long day, but it was worth every second of it (at least for me Lee might think otherwise) Can't thank you enough brother for tagging along with me and driving the truck home for me.

AlwaysSomethin Thank you so much for being so willing to work on the price for me and for helping me get this thing from you. I never thought I would own this thing and I really appreciate you going over and beyond in everything that you did to get in ready for me in the time crunch that we were on. I promise to take amazing care of it.

Current mods (quick list because i notice more mods everytime I look at the truck)

BTW with having two kids and always needing more seats in the truck, I did not get the custom interior and rear buckets with the truck. Austin threw these seats back in for me and I couldn't be happier. I loved the leather and it was so nice, but it just didn't work for me and my needs.

Well I finally got around to washing and waxing the truck. Thing turned out awesome and pictures don't do it justice. Still love this truck more than I even thought I would.

BTW oldest son wanted to help me wash the truck and when we got done he wanted to take pictures of it. So he got his cell phone (old one of ours that isn't connected to service) and he went to snapping pictures of the truck and the Suburban. I must say it was awesome to see how much attention and focus he gave the project.
