As a lot of you have seen in various threads, I decided that having no debt wasn't fun at all, so I bought a second truck :laugh:

Specs:

2005 GMC Sierra Z71 with 152kmi
5.3 HO (L33)
4L60E
4x4 with Auto Tcase
3.42s :nono:
G80
HD Trailer Package

It's a strangely optioned truck for sure. Auto climate control, but with a jumpseat and cloth, only drivers seat is half power, no 3.73s, etc. Oh well.

Pics from the used lot:

And snapped a few pics today when I went home to get it:

Now to the part that everyone always asks

Already done:

Line-X'd
4 and 6 HI mods using diodes in the fuse box
It already has some kind of cat back exhaust, so I'll probably just cut the tip off and dump it for now.
It also has an AEM CAI, so I'm good there too.
I swapped my headlights that I cleared from the rcsb onto this truck today and swapped corners between trucks, that way everything matched (cleared & amber).
Some fgt billet type cutout grille. I'm alright with it for now, it'll probably go back to stock at some point.

Plans:

De-pinstripe
De-badge tailgate
LED Interior
LEDs outside in signals and out back
DRL delete
Crank as far as I feel comfortable going without sacrificing the ride too much
Candy tails
Full detail come spring time

That's it for now, I can really spend a ton on either truck now.

I'd eventually like to swap in a full 03+ console, Double Din, wheels/tires, etc. That'll all happen eventually.


I'll update the thread when I do something to it :rofl: and I'll try and get an exhaust vid too, seeing as everyone is doing that.

yay we red lifted twins yo. gona park the rcsb for the winter to do some paint work to it?

Park for the winter, yeah. Paint work will be in the summer. The garage is heated, but it's still too damn cold out to be doing that just yet :crazy:
 
You're right, that is a very oddly optioned truck. Looks really clean tho, good buy! Only thing I'm not crazy about is the grille surround, needs the stock chrome one just IMO

Yeah I agree. The paint is chipping off, so I am keeping my eyes out on craigslist and ebay. I don't mind it as it sits though, so it's not a high priority.

looks damn good! already has some color matching!

Yep, has cm'd handles all around and the grille shell. The cleared lights look soooo good on red.
 
Cutout unfortunately :okay: checked it today. I was hoping it was an overlay so I could just pull it off and sell it, but nope.
 
i think the grill surround is ok but it needs a hd hood to make it work, for the rest the options are messed but nice clean truck congrats !!!!

oh whats mileage on it ?
 
Excited to see this build. Has a lot of potential. IMO.

Yeah it's alright. The rcsb will get a HD before this one though lol. 152,000 miles

I'll buy that grille from you whenever you go back to stock! Is it a polished on or machined?

I'm not sure what it is lol, I didn't look closely at it. I'll find out and let you know.
