Scootin 81 C20 · 12-27-2009, 06:40 PM

I got my new stereo installed. Other than that, nothing truck related. I did however have a nice Christmas with my family.

dbmx66 · 12-27-2009, 06:55 PM

got my new front tires, fuel cell,seats, and sway bar mounted.

thrtsxchambers · 12-27-2009, 07:52 PM

Watched football, worked on my daughters car stereo system(christmas present), Tested a new amp for my system and now watching football again. Also relaxing with the adult beverage.

**N2TRUX** · 12-27-2009, 07:57 PM

Saturday I took my 06 Silverado and my 09 Sierra to a shop and had them swap the lowering shackles. I had planned to do it myself until I found out what was involved in getting them on the 09.

Now they are on, and the rear of the 09 sits a little low. I hate to raise it back up a notch, but don't see getting the front down with out more trouble than I care to go through.

Today I worked on my 06 Silverado. I went to the coin car wash to pressure wash the engine and frame. I'm cleaning it up to put it on the market. Once the new windshield is in place it hits Craigslist.

Chlsnk · 12-27-2009, 08:03 PM

Installed a stearo in my truck .

mongoose · 12-27-2009, 08:14 PM

not much pulled out the front axle... and started pulling out the x-member out of the '73..

it's just really hard to get motivated when you're laying on concrete and it's below freezing... ya know?

baggedcten · 12-27-2009, 08:18 PM

Nothing much just installed the GPS i got for Christmas in my daily I tried to hide the wire without cutting the interior up!I think its cool even tho i dont travel anywhere i dont know how to get too!!

pcmcobra · 12-27-2009, 08:38 PM

I think I got that same gps for my work van...think good old Mom got it for me...Been borrowing my wifes for those back road alabammy road trips.
Saturday, I loaded up my boys raptor 80 in the back of my gmc and went to my wife's uncles place, has several acres with a nice fishing pond we frequent in spring and summer, anyway, I got past his house and almost to the pond where I was going to unload (had my boy and oldest girl with me), so much rain I got stuck in the pasture, lol. He had to get his f250 4x4 to come pull me out. I was not really embarrassed...this is the first time I have ever been stuck, just got out the chains and yanked me out, so we did not ride. Maybe next weekend we can...I need to talk my wife into letting me get a 4 wheeler. Been looking at the trx400/450r....too bad they are not free.

During the week, I finally got the new wheels on the truck. Rest of my time has ben spent learning engineering and photoshop so I can plan out another build I'm about to start on early next year.

Here's teaser;

grinch4om · 12-28-2009, 08:38 AM

SSC's76 · 12-28-2009, 10:50 AM

I had chopped off my exh when I installed the class 5 hitch that was about 2 years ago. I finially got a chance to put it back on and route it a little better sounds much better with a full exh than having it chopped at the mufflers. Also got all the oil and filter to do and oil change on the truck and the apollo dident quite get to that yet.

Mr.Scary · 12-28-2009, 11:14 AM
