Hi everyone. Mostly a lurker here and figured I would make a thread to add to the forum! I purchased a GMC LLY last year all stock with 141k miles and have started to get it to my liking. Of course there is always room for improvement. Open for any ideas/ suggestions along the way.

Started with this

Test fitting new wheels and tires... Had to trim bumper and rear fender unfortunately

And first mod I did was an S&B mouthpiece and HSP intake

Got a 3" hot side pipe from banks and an SDP egr delete and got them all powdered to match the HSP intake and bonus pup

Here's a shot of all the powdered piping. Was extremely happy with how it came out.

At 146k the injectors decided to take a dump so I upgraded to 45% over exergy's. Figured might as well upgrade while I have them out. Wish I would have ordered stocks but I eventually would like some good hp.
Boss was kind enough to let me use a corner of the shop to swap injectors

Got EFI live tuning from Wade Boyd at Diesel Day Dreams in Colorado and was very happy with the customer service! Would recommend them to anyone in the Colorado area!


Got 4" MBRP exhaust and dumped it over rear axle with a 6" tip. Also added recon tail lights.

Drove up to Breckenridge with the fiancé. I would not recommend Nitto 420's for snow driving. 4x4 or not

And an eBay roll pan that I got powder coated white (I fixed the gap later on)

Swapped out headlights with some eBay ones. Apparently these are hard to find so I was lucky enough to grab a set!
Also got some 3000k HID's in the fogs

Picked up a set of hummer wheels in great condition with some ok tires for $200!! Felt like I was ripping the guy off but I wasn't gonna say anything

And now some more recent pictures. Got rid of the 20x10's and went with some 20x12 Mavericks with toyo's. Also got some 2" spacers for the rear to even out the stance

And that's where I am at! Have 160k on it now and am loving it. Still going to be adding to it and will keep posting pictures.
