Hello everyone.
I'm active on a couple of different forums (GM Truck Club, GMFS), although I stay fairly quiet on GMFS and basically use it for research only. Upon doing some research I've landed here and have seen some really awesome trucks so I decided to join.
A little about me and my truck --
As the title says, I'm from Michigan. 20 years old, go to school in Kentucky. My father owns a Chevrolet dealership and am very fortunate and thankful to have the truck that I have. Though I was given the truck, I do not consider myself to be spoiled. I've worked at the shop since I was 13 and have payed for all of my mods with all of the hard work that I have put in. Sure was nice to get a head start with a brand new truck though. Anyway, about the truck:
2011 1500 4x4 LT2 in Laser Blue Metallic with 48k miles. It has a BDS 4" lift kit, 20x9" Ultra Baron wheels, 305/55/20 Duratracs, K&N 63 series CAI, Gibson Dual Extreme exhaust, Gibson Shorty stainless headers, smoked Recon cab, tail, and third brake light(s), I also have the Platinum Blue series lights (highs, lows, fogs). I swapped out the license plate lights for LEDs as well. I have added the tow mirrors, color matched the front and rear bow ties, as well as the tailgate bezel. I've got a 20" Rigid Industries SR2 mounted in the front bumper. Smaller stuff includes GM tonneau cover and AVS vent visors. I plan on posting a build from where I started and where I currently am sitting, and my plans for the future.
I've got an opportunity to get a '14, (my older brother actually just got a '15 Duramax, haven't seen it in person but looks amazing in the pictures) although I don't think I'm ready to part ways with this truck yet. I don't want to leave my project half completed and I really don't have any reason to get a new one. I'm thinking I will have my fun with this one for another 5ish years and then upgrade to a duramax.
Here's how the truck sits now, be on the lookout for a build thread! Thanks for the opportunity and I look forward to learning from you all and hopefully you can learn something from me as well!
