Fuck yeah, glad you still have this thing! Sounds good as ever. I'm on forums nearly every day but only the squarebody forum is actually active. Tis sad

The only hiccup was the pipe ended up further toward the middle than I wanted. I told them to keep in mind I had a stock sized spare that I wanted to clear. I should've made them let me put it up under the truck after he took the other tailpipe out, but it had been pouring that morning and I...

Came out pretty good for ~45min of elbow grease Then played with placement mock ups for a bit lol Was at the exhaust shop first thing Monday morning, took them about 2hrs. They bent up a whole new 3" tail pipe rather than using an OE replacement and modifying it (which I told them they...

Got back from the beach on Sunday and worked on polishing up the tip before I went to the exhaust shop Monday. It was NASTY. I used a combination of WD40, red Scotchbrite on the bare pipe and carefully on the super thick carbon, then 0000 steel wool and metal polish on the polished part of the...

Cut the hanger off my OE forward pipe and welded it to the muffler and it lined up perfect. I re-bent the hanger after this pic so it would hold better. An adapter let it go into the muffler and then I put a wide band clamp over that. Looks like dooky but sounds great. So I got up under it...

So that next Friday, I put the truck up on the lift thinking I'd throw it on and it would take minimal mods to do so... First sign of danger...the tailpipe is quite a bit different... Yep, tailpipe is alot different. It hit my 5th wheel plate, no biggie there, I just heated that section up...

Showed up, dude is a super nice guy. Big car guy, old bracket racer. He'd bought his buddy's '06 Yukon Denali XL to part out after it'd had a dash fire. He thought this was stock exhaust and it was so dirty you couldn't see the Corsa logo on the tip. But I picked up the muffler to look through...

The same day I did the boards, I also added some stake pocket plugs and some additional weather stripping at the headgate to better seal with the tonneau They were a little oversized, but nothing a little trim wouldn't fix Did all 4 corners, much better I'd also been on the lookout for...

About 3hrs later and the were on. These actually turned out great, the boards are extruded aluminum, very light but very strong. And the brackets have tons of adjustment, up and down on the brackets and in/out at the board. Was able to get them tucked up pretty well, very pleased with the way...

This SOB is tall now too and I'm short so I'd been on the lookout for some steps. AMPs aren't in the cards so I'd decided on N-fabs, I see them everywhere, they look pretty good and people online love them. Found a set for these trucks 2.5hrs away in northern Alabama, so me and the GF...

So then a couple days later I got started on these. Ya just pop the vents out and pull them apart Gotta grind down the little "grabs" on the middle tab. I used a bench grinder and just did a little at a time, test fitting the new grab till it fit nicely Then just put the vents back...

Also finally swapped all my interior lights for LED Here you can see my little "humps" where I got the bezel too hot and also the new crack 1" to the left :mad: I also scored a bunch of AC vent knobs from various GM SUVs, I think GMC Terrains and Buick Enclaves were the main ones. That way...

The other Buick knob has a much larger register. So you need to pull the metal insert out and then cut that back to the same length as the shorter one I realized later, this one also has a longer light register/pointer that needs to be cut. I have yet to do that, so one knob sticks out...

In between all the painting, I swapped in my new LED door lights. The old one on the pass side was siliconed on unfortunately And installed the Denali handles And worked on the AC knob swap. The Buick knobs have 2 different sized registers. For one of them, you have to pull the Silverado...
