Photos of the new exhaust

true dual with DI/DO 50 Series Flowmaster

Very dirty truck at the moment

Comparison shot of 2000 GMC Z71 (1" larger tire and T bars cranked 1" up from stock, stock Z71 Rear) and The Z (T bars decranked 1" from stock, 2" lift blocks removed) Total Difference at mirrors = 3"

And finally got her cleaned up

Its a nice truck. I wish I could find a 2000ish for cheap. Really dig those.

Its still too high for me though.

Nicely done on keeping the exhaust reserved and not sticking way out. I am jealous of all that room you have.

Nice work on the 5th exhaust system, lol.

Now get rid of those ugly ass Z71 stickers!!

Would love it if you paint matched the mirrors and the bumper. Love the monochrome look if you could not tell already.

I think this is pretty OK.

And that really means it must kick ass. For trucks I'm more of a Lift with 30" inch tires kinda guy

The tires are 30" =P or close

I want to take off the rocker panels the Z71 sticker

debating on losing the 1500 and LS emblems

Want to color match the handles but am leaning on keeping the chrome mirror covers

Want to color match the front bumber like this possibly

I really don't like the black plastic on the handles and top of the bumper

Color match the bumper and mirrors and loose the Z71, 1500, and LS badges. It is looking good though.

One day though I will have a black tool box so I'd like to keep some other black on the truck so it doesn't stick out. Silver toolbox is not an option imo

Have you thought of getting a fiberglass tanoue cover and getting tool boxes that fit behind the wheel wells instead of a regular one that sit on top of the bed rails?

hrmm really never thought of it.

By behind the wheel wells you mean between the wells and tail gate?

I think if I could work something with a box between wells and the cab I would be interested. Would have to have something so I could fit a sheet or 2 of ply under it for certain reasons

so, why do you have a z71 (off-road package 1500) and you lowered it and have only all-terains (wich i can sometimes understand, some people dont like the real aggresive thing), but why lower it?

They are the width of the wheel wells, and go from the wheel well to the tailgate, some go over the wheel wells too, I've seen some called 'pork chop toolboxes'. You can still fit 4x8 lumber in it without a problem.

There are more uses for a 4x4 than major off roading.

I have yet to have a use for more suspension but have had multiple uses for 4wd

Since I am thinking out loud at the moment I really enjoy the look of this truck. He debadged, dropped it and added 5 spoke Titan wheels. I really think I want the Titan wheels as well

and yes it is a Z71 as well. just don't know how my truck will respond with the flairs

i mean, im not disrespecting you or anything, i just never understood that, especially when i see people with 4X4 diesels or duallys dropped and bagged on the ground, just kinda goes right over my head i guess, but i honestly like the way that truck looks, even with the rims

I understand it seems kind of bass ackwards but there is functionality within it. (ex: Lower, level truck has less aerodynamic drag)

With my truck lowered it actually looks perfect pulling my buddies boat (the only boat I really ever pull) since both the boat and the truck are perfectly level and if I'm ever on a slick ramp I may need 4wd to pull it out.

At the beach I don't need suspension to get over anything but the 4wd comes in handy in the soft sand or pulling people out

Once I pull the Z71 stickers off and I'm sitting at a light on a damp day unsuspecting victims will be quite surprised when I "somehow" hook

Now lowered duallys.... were on the same page

You must be short though if bagged duallys go right over your head...

haha, i didnt mean they went over my head literally, lol, but sorry i didnt know what terrain you drive your truck in, i should have asked that first

those Titan wheels are about as bland as bland can get

Good, Dad always told me not too have flashy rims, they only draw attention and help you get your stuff stolen

It wasn't a good kind of bland.

I'd much prefer a set of black steelies.
