[crazyeyez]

Howdy!!

names Nick. new guy here. heard great stuff about this site from a buddy of mine from another forum (Kenny/onelow1ton on 355Nation.net)

my truck is a 2005 GMC Canyon z71 4x4 crewcab. got the truck new in 2005 and it stayed fairly stock untill i got back from my last deployment, last year.since then, its gone thru a bit of a change, with more to come.

most recent stock pic



some pics shortly after left added
(2inch shackles, torsonbars cranked to level it out, Ranch5000 series shocks, front diff drop spacers)




pics of the roof rack and lights
(Surco rack and 24v LED light. outer front two are flood lights, inner front two are spot lights. on on rear of rack is a flood light as well)




(the LED strips do running, brake, turn, and reverse)




few more recent pics. got more planned for the truck, but waiting on parts.



the front hitch is mainly for a hitch cradle mounted winch. going with the cradle so i can change between rear and front usage for it. the winch i have, the cradle is still on order....




also have one of these pups on order, too.

these go on the bar ('cept the snatch block.... lol)

[crazyeyez]

Well, duh, Kenny.... LOL

[Greggk]

looks good Nick, looking forward to meeting up with you!

[crazyeyez]

Thanx man!! I'll try to give ya a text or a call some time. I'd love to go find some place to wheel, but that all depends on time and gas money.

[Greggk]

We apparently have some mud holes around us

[crazyeyez]

yea. found a couple over by me, but i dont have mud tires, so i havent tryed too much risky stuff. i miss the trails and stuff back at fort campbell, these tires did pretty good on that stuff.

[Greggk]

I know the feeling. I came from fort Carson. But the good news is you have "fat bastard" (my truck) to pull you out of the goo!

[crazyeyez]

lol. heres to hoping that i dont need a yank out! lol. hoping to have this winch set up, but they are taking their sweetass time getting the rest of the parts to me.

[Greggk]

Right? Unfortunately a lot of venders are just that they don't have warehouses with a stock. So you order from them, it gets shipped to them and then they ship to you. If you are lucky you find vendors that drop ship to you from their supplier or the manufacturer.
