New 4x4 Owner from Illinois

[LDAS]

Hello,

My name is Rick and I just purchased an 06 Ext. Silverado 1/2 Ton with the following mods done to it.

8" Fabtech Lift
3" Body Lift
39.5x13.5x17 Swampers
Custom two tone Blue and Yellow Paint

As far as I can tell the rest of the truck is stock. I bought it off a dealer in Texas that I found on eBay. Many of you may have seen it when browsing eBay. So far I have been pleased with the deal and can't wait to give it alittle bit of my touch.

Hope to learn allot and build new friendships along the way.

Thank you! Was beginning to think no one like me already

I'm around the Springfield area. As for the Mods, I'm hoping to put some shorties and Magnaflows on it. Looking to get a programmer at some point. I'm not looking to drive it to hard as its my DD and I need it to last. Once I pay it off, I'll start playing with it alittle more and beef up the drive train a little bit.


Thanks again for the reply

Welcome!


shorties are a waste...there is actually a real nice set of stainless longtubes for like 300 on ebay most days


skip the programmer, get a tune from nelsonperformance.com, i'm still getting the fine details worked out on mine, but NIGHT AND DAY better then the 3 hand helds Ive tried.
