Got this truck back in July. Gonna post progress pics in here.
Here is how I got it. 02 LB7, ECSB, 4x4, LS, 138k, mostly stock, ugly af


Dem rims tho


De-molded, removed toolbox


Cut off fgt tip, de-badged, esky tailgate which is now gone


Swapped front end off my gasser


Cleaned it up a bit. Chopped off trailer plug and re-welded it underneath


Put on some NNBS badges. Didn't want to leave random dmax badge like everyone else does. Wish I put badge a hair lower..

I lowered it today. Pull overload leaf, 3" eBay drop shackles, removed torsion key bolts completely. Also did Moog idler arm, bracket, pitman arm, and added tie rod sleeves while I had it apart. It was a pain in the ass in case you were wondering.



Despite it needing new shocks, it rides much better. GMC tails are temporary. Got LED tails, just need to add extra resistors to them.

How I got it and how it sits today

They are good on the road, not off road at all lmao but they are really quiet even compared to my terra grapplers. They are soft as fuck and our trucks are heavy don't think they will last super long but they aren't rated for our truck lol. For what I wanted, racetr0k, they hook really well. If you do a burnout tho tape up your truck so much rubber went everywhere and it was like a 2 second burnout

Pulled a 5" exhaust tip out of the trash at a local shop. Took it home, polished it up, and tacked it on.


I had these GMC taillights laying around. I was bored the other day and decided to candy them. Gonna have my painter spray them with clear when I see him next. I doubt I'll run them but they turned out decent.


Pic of new LED taillights.


Truck is filthy. Getting a professional detail and paint correction tonight.
