Fgt stepside build

[Country_09]

Well I got the truck bone stock from my pops with the exception of the old man package steps and rails with true dual glasspacks. Drove it like this for remainder of high school unfortunately


Not long after I graduated I went out and got me a levelin kit and some 33" toyos and x9 badlands. Also took the steps off, painted my mirror caps/handles/emblem/bumper cap, did a Tahoe chrome grille with a billet



From there I did a 1.5" zone body, tows and took off the rails, candied tails and 5% tint all around.



Height was never enough so me and my bro put a 6" rcx on. Thought it was huge at this point lol. Did clears too





As guess, wasn't enough, did a trade for some 35" mud graps



Next came HD hood and z71 valance, took Tahoe grille off and painted stock one



Dem LTs and tune



HD leafs and 6" tip


Painted tows and dome light out of a Tahoe for the rear



Painted tows on an x10 ions



Did a lil interior work. Camo from when I first got it to suede and smoked Denali interior handles




Me and col_10 made a lil trade, 4.88s/tru trac installed not long after



03+ console swap, I did pull the seat covers lol.

HD hitch to hide body lift


Never enough lol. 7" mcg, actually measures 8"

Picked up a 4.8/black leather rcsb to daily. After levelin kit, clears, Tahoe 20s, magnaflow and LTs, TB stall, time to mess with big trok


Things are about to change though, gonna do 22x14s and 325/50/22 trail graps then dress it up with a new powder color, hoops/resis/UCA's/trac bars/full spring pack/new bumpers and a few other details. Got a few powder colors in mind

Metallic green lots of flake



Black with silver/metallic flake

I like the black with silver powder, and i wanna see AF octanes lol

 

[Bassmaster]

Great progress, I too like the black. Not sure if the green power would be too much green

actually liked the ions better than the moto's but doing good work so far. kinda want that same lift for my truck but id be afraid to look up pricing and that it wouldnt fit in my grandparents garage to work on.

truck looks good though.

 

[slicksierra]

[Ginger]

what did you do with the old lift?

 

[James Pate]

Huge turn around! I love the front end of the truck, and I think green would be sweet under it

I liked em too, should've done x12s in the first place instead of x10s lol. My truck is at 49" up front fender height with 1.5" body and 1.5" crank on it. Was 1600 shipped

what did you do with the old lift?

Sold it to my bros buddy a to get this one

[marc]

only EC step side, ive ever liked in my life its looking good !!!!

 

[a-fuso]

This truck (and Peytons and Samuels) are my favorites, always wanted this green, and I got faggot black instead.


I vote do the black and green powder together or do all green, because all black powder no one will know it's special or a different color.

Gettin wheels this Saturday, I just need to get the tires now. How much y'all figure I can get for a set of 37x13.5x22 toyo mt's? They have like 3k miles on em

[Jimmy]

Hell yea, they look good man

Well, I completely forgot about this "build" I had goin and since it was last posted, more changes came obviously. Mcg is sold, cognito was bought. Nitto 325/50s were sold and 37x13.5 toyos were bought for the meantime. I want the 375/40/22 trails next but I may stick with 37s just because I like the combo and 4.88s push me around pretty decent. I did finally get a new front bumper, new top cap, and a new valance. Front end looks much much better. I had my tows resprayed as they started to bubble. Seem to be Doin much better this time around. I still have quite a few plans for this truck but it's on the back burner as most projects go. I sold the rcsb and picked up a 2014 ltz 6.2 z71 to daily, and it's a Fkn blast. But just recently me and the wife had our lil boy so everything got to a stop pretty damn quick. I have picked up a few knick knack things recently. Green truck needed new brake dust shields and a new abs wire for the front right wheel, picked up new clear corners as the tabs broke off on the old ones, cognito ucas and heims were put on. Currently lookin for someone sellin a lq9 and then I'll pull the 5.3 and swap em for more fun. For the 6.2 I leveled it, got the windows tinted 20% all around, traded for some x10 predators and then picked up 275/60 toyo at2s from Coltons ever changin mind. Installed longtubes, airaid, 22" magnaflow, and got it tuned. Recently picked up a 1.25" body lift for it as well that I need to install. And next week ordering an elite engineering catch can for it then that'll be it for the daily. They actually get treated pretty well mileage wise right now as I'm dailying my wife's 2012 Altima 3.5sr sorry for the long post, here's a recent pic of the two troks. Maybe I'll make it to the cgm meet in Louisiana with one of em
