I had my truck totalled by some dumb no driving tool (5 weeks after finishing my solid axle swap). So now on to my new build on my new to me 2000 GMC 1500. Currently has a 5" superlift knuckle lift and a 3" body.Future Plans:Paint to match -handlestow mirrorsvalancerear bumperRetrofit Projectors-dual mini H1s with chrome housings and PTM shroudsWindow Tint-5% on back 3 and 10% fronts and a browSOLID AXLE SWAP!-this is obviously the biggest part to my build. I am planning either leafs for simplicity or running a radius arm/4 link (either one) if I can save up enough. Obviously parallel 4 link would be best but I'm balling on the college kid budget hahHope ya'll enjoy the progress and I'll be glad to take any questions and update as much as I can.My SAS obs:<a href="http://s1287.photobucket.com/user/Clint_Weaver/media/IMG_0152_zpsf8944924.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/a633/Clint_Weaver/IMG_0152_zpsf8944924.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://s1287.photobucket.com/user/Clint_Weaver/media/IMG_0631_zpsd6e78e85.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/a633/Clint_Weaver/IMG_0631_zpsd6e78e85.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>New project:<a href="http://s1287.photobucket.com/user/Clint_Weaver/media/IMG_0602-Copy_zps55f3077d.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/a633/Clint_Weaver/IMG_0602-Copy_zps55f3077d.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://s1287.photobucket.com/user/Clint_Weaver/media/IMG_0920_zps91f21531.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/a633/Clint_Weaver/IMG_0920_zps91f21531.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a><a href="http://s1287.photobucket.com/user/Clint_Weaver/media/IMG_0728_zps391082bb.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/a633/Clint_Weaver/IMG_0728_zps391082bb.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Cosmetic issues:<a href="http://s1287.photobucket.com/user/Clint_Weaver/media/IMG_0732_zps9e05c4fa.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/a633/Clint_Weaver/IMG_0732_zps9e05c4fa.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>(fixed other small issues with some paint I had mixed and did the emblem so far<a href="http://s1287.photobucket.com/user/Clint_Weaver/media/IMG_1029_zpsf91da1a0.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/a633/Clint_Weaver/IMG_1029_zpsf91da1a0.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>pretty awesome color, looks orange in light and then gets to a dark maroon metallic in the shadeAnd then lastly for now, had to polish the crap out of these eagles.
