Grace: My new ride - '08 LC

[mtweller]

Hey Guys,
After going back and forth on building a LS swapped 80, I finally chose the easy route and pick up an '08 200 this weekend. Really digging it so far. It's a fairly rare color, Amazon Green w/ Tan interior

. I posted in the "You've been spotted" to see if anyone would guess. Anyway, it's 100k mile truck and has a couple small issues I'm currently correcting and then it's on to a mild build:

Phase 1 :
Front ARB "Sahara" - no hoops
2" OME lift
Tires - KO2's but size TBD (sorry Eric, I know you wound up buying a different set, but my KO2s from Dozer will be up for sale when the KM3s finally drop in a month or so)

Phase 2 :
Sliders
Rear ARB
RTT (that's still a maybe)

Anyway, super stoked and hope to get back more involved in ONSC soon!

Ramon

Thanks Big E! Now to come up with a name... I had tossed out "Envy", as in green with envy, but Emma pointed out that it somehow sounds "conceited" for lack of better description, and I agreed. Back to the drawing board.

Not gonna lie, I’m green with envy. Lol. Can’t wait to see it in person.

Fan-freaking-tastic. Looks awesome. Congrats. Never seen that color before. Well, maybe on a Highlander...

Ramon, that thing is gorgeous - very nice score! You still have Dozer; do you still have the GX and the Duramax also?

Got nothing on a name, one will come to you I am sure.

Way to go!

 

[mtweller]

Thanks guys. I’m off to Orlando for a few days so I’ll get her registered and such later this week.

Saw you post in the 200 price thread a couple days ago...nice!

Big question - are you selling the Chevy or just adding a new ride to the fleet?

 

[Roxx]

I figured that much. Tons of work and money on a 20+ years old truck or a nice ride no sweat option. Good decision man. That color looks bad ass

Yeah, DMax will be on the market in a week or two!

Thanks, I sweated this decision about as hard as anyone can imagine. Thanks to @FJStan for patience and answering all my questions on the project. Maybe one day I'll still build that truck (or you will for me)

You have your own truck!!!

That one as well as Kerm(it) @jamesurq made the list but were scratched off It will come in time I suppose. Thanks @little_joe - as mentioned above, Dozer stays (duh) and the DMax will be listed. And, @uzj100, for some reason, I always thought you had a 2hundy - did you at one point?
