    Default 2011 v8 Colorado build (sas underway)

    Got this truck about 3 months ago and so far got it lifted with a rancho 4" suspension lift, cranked the torsion bars 2" , put an add a leaf in the rear for 2" more and a suspension maxx 1.5" body lift. It has 315/70/17 treadwright guard dogs on black procomp D-windows, I have a smittybilt x20 10k winch that I'll be building bumpers for soon, I have but not installed yet Doug thorley tri-y headers and MBRP dual exhaust, I have an ARE cx topper and I also have a extang full tilt soft bed cover and a roof basket for the cap forget the brand now still need to pick it up from a friend , I just bought a camping lab rtt from a member on here and will be picking it up on saturday.

    I have lots of plains for this truck also I have a build thread for a m416 look a like I'm just now starting to build here is the link to that

    Now on to the pix
    When I first got it

    Had just got done blacking out all the ugly chrome and swapped out the paint and chrome for some all black painted ones

    Got rid of the big funky resonator and put a k&n filter in

    Finished installing the front lift and pulled it out to clean the floor before I started the rear and the blue cap I drove 3 hours one way to pick it up

    Lift all done and cap off for a quick color change

    How it sits now

    The headers

    The mbrp exhaust
