Am I crazy?

.22's.....if only the lead thrower was there with it.

I can't read the numbers on it at all. I'm 37 and have good eyesight ...I think lol

I should have expanded the pic and looked closer. Looks like a .223 shell. I am no expert, by any means.

My guess is 300 Black Out, shell looks to narrow in the picture for a 762x39.

New shoes today boys and girls! Old ones were 245/75/16 and went up to 265/75/16's. Drives so much better now. I went with Yokohama Overlander at4, as my local shop supplies them and offers a lifetime rotation and roadside assistance for an additional $130. I was pretty surprised with how aggressive they are compared to the pics online.

@AuroraGirl here's the new weathertech mats came in today.

Ordered new headlights and indicator lights from rockauto, should be here next Wednesday.

The next plan is to tint the topper as dark as possible and reinforce inside the windows with some steel mesh ...I don't usually work in shady areas but if someone robbed my shit, I'd be out of business for sure.

I really need to find a set of seat covers but don't want to spend 500+ ...I have 40/20/40 fronts and 60/40 rear. Can't really find a company that has the rear bench that flips forwards and the back seat that folds down. Lmk what you all think

Looks great to me!

Do you need seat covers because of work? Because the seats look fine.

If I don't protect them, they'll turn black in 3 months lol

I thought so, but had to ask. Yea, you have a great truck and great plans. Might check for Rough Country covers.

@Cadillacmak has a thread "New to me GMT800?" going that shows the Rough Country covers.

OH i like how it lays on the trim piece. i need to use some epoxy on my trim to fix the clip by the hood release.

Your door seal is looking tired, do you have any wind noise?

So what brand headlights? show them when they show up

The cheap ones are junk.

The seats can be recovered with leather covers

You MUST use a high end scan tool to change the size of your tire in your EBCM
Your tire size is used by the computer for calculating the ABS mathematical programming because it needs to know the contact patch and rotational difference from the stock size.

I had the dealer ship me the extra set of keys and the one key that unlocked the back incase they got lost in transport. I just got them today in the mail so here's a couple pics of the back. Under the carpet is mint ...found some goodies but nothing I can use

is there a part number on the bar that the spare is on? i didnt know they had a bed mounted spare. it was kinda wise to do that and to have a wheel that matched. if you think youll keep the the topper on, you can rotate your 5 tires and extend tire life considerably and not worry about making the under the bed tire chip or corrode on the bead seat especially from rocks and nasty. The bed tire staying means you can delete the spare under and use the space for something else or just do it for weight. the crossmemebr with the shock mount is actually hidden by this and it causes them to rust where the shock goes, it has to be welded in so keeping it clean will keep it good.
Edit: i see the spare in the bed isnt a match for the main wheels. you can get a py0 (I think?) wheel to match yours and then the same tire as the new tires you get and then rotate the 5 as per the owners manual for 5 tires non dually

please dont tell me those tires have outlined white lettering and you put them in

The windows on the topper can be tinted with household UV/privacy film from inside, the only time its easy to see in is at night and it will cut down the uv rays on the stuff inside and then it will be harder to see in when its light outside (even streetlights, etc. no light inside means it will be hard to see if there is light outside)

slightly dull plastic on the tail lights. if you want to come to the dark side of cateye world get the 99-02 chevy or 99-07 gmc tail lights (black background, not the red ones) with the amber turn signal. it would look good on your truck in the rear . (my pfp has them) you only have to remove the 194 from the sidemarker and then tape up the socket for it and let it hang below the light

.22's.....if only the lead thrower was there with it.

i have to be careful. my step dad left shot gun shells in my truck when he gave it to me (in minecraft)
Because this country decided that we would categorically deny the right to firearms based on unconstitutional reasonings/definitions, and the states are able to change the definition and meaning of words arbitrarily and against reason, me having a .22 short that i did not know about ,in a door pocket or under a seat, is a felony as its considered a FIREARM on its own

so i had to go through and ensure nothing absolutely nothing was left in the truck, underr the vinyl, udner the seats etc
found a LOT Of sand and dog hair lol!

@AuroraGirl door seals are all good, probably just the picture. Inside is quiet as can be. I removed the spare in the cap because I need the room and don't need 2 spare tires. The original owner made that setup. If it's something you want, I can give it to you just pay me for the shipping. The spare underneath is decent enough to get me off the highway if I have a blowout. Based on what you mentioned (very good idea) I will pull the spare underneath when I fluid film everything.

As far as the bullets, no biggie in my state we can carry firearms as long as the ammo and mags are locked in a compartment.

The tail lights aren't a concern yet but eventually I'll swap them and the bulbs out. I got a full set of headlights and markers from rockauto today, they were like 119 for all 4. I'll see how they do, honestly anything is better than what I had. Worst case scenario, I'll take the lens off the new ones and put them on the old OEM headlight and markers.

I have my tint guy lined up next week to match the fronts with the rears, do a windshield strip and put limo tint on the cap. It's his side hustle, he's very meticulous and his prices are awesome.

@AuroraGirl I went with durafit seat covers, cost me 270 for the front and back. I went with black, they should ship out in another week or so. I also ordered a set of tow mirrors off eBay, power heated and directional (mine has directionals) for 90$. The ones I have now, the connector is buried in the door card so I don't know if they'll actually work with my wiring. I should have done my homework but I need the tow mirrors asap as I'll be towing my camper in a couple weeks. I towed a tiny flat trailer the other day I borrowed from my FIL and I couldn't see shit with the stupid mirrors that are on it now ...the cap blocks alot when backing a trailer combined with the little mirrors.

As far as the chrome, which I know you hate ;-) lol I hate it too. I'm in between keeping the grill chrome and just adding on a new gold bowtie or buying a color match with black mesh and black bowtie. My last 3 trucks have been black on black with black wheels. My 1984 GTI is black and my wife's car is black ....I wish this truck was black but it is what it is

I see you already got tags. Lights look good.

I tried the lens thing on my one side turnsignal in front. Had a lot of offgassing from my adhesive. Make sure to use a suitable sealer
