Hey guys, I figured it's time to get my build thread up, so here it is
Last summer it was time for me to get in to a truck, I was rear ended in my little car and well that was enough for me to say I'll never own a car again.

So I bought this.

When I bought it in July 2013 it had 143000 miles on it. As of today it has around 151000 on it. So far all I've replaced is the water pump.
I made a few changes soon after I bought it. Added a fiberglass tonneau cover, magnaflow muffler and exhaust tip, hids in my lows and highs

Later I bought edge evolution CTS and mounted it in my overhead console.

Then basically I went and replaced every incandescent bulb with leds. Bought new taillights from spyder auto, added hids in my fog lights and did the 6hi mod. I also replaced all the light housings on my front end with spyder ones, I got a billet grille insert and polished gmc emblem

Led strips were wired up for my footwells.

I installed some led switchbacks, deleted my drl, the white leds on the switchbacks act as my drl across the entire bumper light until I activate the signal, then flash amber.

Then somewhere along the way I decided to drive through a couple puddles .....

Oh and I installed air aid cold air intake

Anyways that's about it for now I think. Have a few plans for the weekend. Will be installing leds in my engine bay and in my bed. Both will only be turned on once the hood or tonneau cover is lifted. This will be accomplished by hood pin switches. I had attempted to install the bed lights a couple weeks back and stopped half way through because I wasn't happy with the job I did on the installation, so I bought more supplies and will be doing it for real this time. Anyways here was a pic I took the first time.

Another update coming once I get these projects done
Cheers
