I am getting another vehicle today. A Tahoe. The durango is a cancer case. I am doing bodywork one last time. It does look good. But it is time for her to move on. Tahoe is a almost rust free body to start with.

I love the dragon and will use her the rest of this boating season. After this time it would be a rotisserie restoration and 99% body panel replacement. It isnt a chevelle so she got to go to rest.

Finally installed my rear lowering hangers. That was a "fun" job.

Bought this yesterday...



2005 GMC SLE 4WD. Runs excellent, only has 160k miles. And did I mention that it was cheap?

Needs the rockers replaced. The guy has an 04 Silverado parts truck with perfect rockers, told me that I could take anything I needed off of the parts truck. The frame is solid on this truck. Needs the brake lines replaced, tires are pretty bald too.

I am going to fix all the cosmetics, go over the mechanicals, and give it to my mom. She has a 2002 Tahose with 200k + on the clock. It runs excellent, but she is due for an upgrade.

I finally finished lowering my truck about a month ago. Installed the spindles and pinion shims to correct the angle. Got the new tires put on also, slightly shorter than what I had before. Still need to have it aligned and fix the AC.



It is dropped 3" in the front and 4" in the rear vs. factory. The tire height is within 1/4 - 3/8 inch of factory.

I like the wheels. They look good on there. I've been hunting for a set of wheels for my all wheel drive Chevy Express van. Those might be the ones.

Holy shit! I just checked prices on them! Made in USA though!

Haha... yeah, glad they came on my other truck. $2kish for a set of wheels. Mine are 18X8 & 18X9.5 front and rear.

AWD you say? That needs a turbo.

Check out Vision wheels, my father has a set on his Sierra. Not U.S.A. made, but have held up so far and look good. I think just under $500 for a set of 4.
