It's been 4 weeks since the Sierra was totalled. The day has finally come. Tomorrow I'm picking up the replacement for the Prograde Sierra. And it will be growing taller shortly after that. Here's a hint:

my back was messed up from the accident, but physical therapy is going well so the old truck is finally torn down and gone. It won't be long and the new one will be going up soon!

Here's some pics
Bunch of parts! Phase 1 starts tonight, doing my own Superbowl Sunday Marathon!
Heck yeah man! Getrdone
looking good
Saturday night I planned on starting phase one. I spent and hour and a half unpacking and organizing parts and hardware while the garage was heating up. I went out and and pulled the center caps off to start pulling wheels and the truck has wheel locks on it. Wouldn't be a problem if I had a key. I didn't, so after sending a nasty gram to the dealer I proceeded to weld a socket to the first wheel lock, a few time before I got it to work, then I cut the socket off and repeated.
Sunday I started phase 1.
Here are the before and during pics, and the old rear coil next to the new one.
Here's a teaser.
That really picked the front up, waiting to see more.
Looks good. Can't wait to see more.
That looks really good! Cant wait to see it finished. Keep up the good work chad!
Phase 1 complete!!!! The lift is done (7 1/2"). It kicked my a$$ for 2 1/2 days. Phase 2, test and tweak the body trimming, etc.
Looks nice!
Looks bad a$$! Good work! That rear wheel well does look a little close from the picture lol i love the way it sits!
looks good
Looks awesome man. Makes me want one.
==thanks guys
The lift gave it a nice stance!!
It looks really good! Nice Job!
Looks great! Keep at it! a=f
What more do you plan to do?
man that looks great man!!!! Makes me want to lift my truck!!!!
Man that thing is sexy now!

What more do you plan to do?
i need to install te kicker braces, I want to tweak the trimming around the front, I've got some small things I want to paint, widow decals like the old truck had, 4.10's, K&N cold air intake, exhaust by Uncle Steve, a custom tuned PCM by Blackbear performance, some kind if bar up front with some lights, an I need to figure out how to mount a 35" spare without putting it on the roof, or rendering the bed useless. There is also some stuff in the interior I want to do.
Looks great man! Can't wait to see it on a trail ride!
nice!

Had a snafu with the alignment appointment but got it done today. The went to visit Uncle Steve, and he hooked up the exhaust. It's a y-pipe with dual straights after the stock cats and sensors. Here is the master at work and the result. ==thanks Uncle Steve.
