The Turtle. Chevy build

[wrecking-crew]

Since we have a nice new spot for non RBVs, I guess I will make a spot for my dd.

2006 Chevy Silverado 4.3/auto, 3.73gears turning 35's; hence the nickname.

Stuff done to it:
4" Rancho lift with R9000 shocks
4 Procomp 8hole steelies.
Had 4 Toyo MTs, now 2 Toyo and 2 BFG MT KM2s on the rear
Brushguard, nerf bars, taillight guards
KC 6" slims
Mandatory pin striping by tight trails
Blue Leer cap I got for free a week ago to use offroad and for fitting things before I install them to my new cap.

Stuff to do:
Re-gear
winch bumper w/ winch
install flares and mudflaps
more lights
make the lights brighter
Goodyear tires next time
aluminum wheels
better brakes
more pin striping

Back when it was stock

Right after the lift

I like it, how does the 4.3 do? We have one in my dads 96 c1500 and its pretty darn fast

just drop a duramax 6.6 in it and you wont have a problem.

I was thinking more of a 6.4 .

In other news, I found out 2 tons bottoms out the suspension.
I drove 20 miles with 2 tons of pavers from a job. Bad idea, but somehow, still managed to drive like there was nothing. Stopping is another story.

Never noticed, but my phone takes decent photos.

I try. Wish it was a Ford still.

Thanks.

Update. There will be a lack of updates and extras for the truck. Looking at a Mustang this weekend. No questioning it because it will end up sold as always. After that, I am looking to get a bumper and winch.

I guess I should update this a little.

Since last update
Cap removed. Headache rack in it's place. Wilson 2000 antennae installed to it using a custom (bedframe piece) mount welded to the rack. Used selftappers to install lights brackets.

What kind of lights should I get for the outside of rack? Bigger square ones, 6" Daylighters, a set of 8" round lights or another set of KC driving lights?

This weeks plans:
New pads and rotors
Might be using a "new" leaf in the back for extra support.
Repaint the pindle hitch I have.

Also looking for a new tires (Looking at Goodyear, BFG, Toyo and Fierce) and possibly aluminum wheels.
Any recommendations?

Looking
