Last night my friend Travis and I embarked on a 6 hour round trip to go get this 05 GMC Sierra z71. It's extremely clean, and was owned by another friend but has high miles 234K. It has a blown trans and will need a few things, but overall I felt like I stole this truck.
Should be a good replacement for the regular cab.

Anyone get anything cool?
I got a set of SAE/Metric standard/deepwell 3/8 drive Milwaukee 6 point impact sockets and a Knipex cobra 10" pliers.

I’m more excited to see how the Chinese Garrett g45 clones perform.
$800 - 1500hp rating on the 76mm
They are smaller than the s400 frame but bigger than a 7875.

This deserved a post imo - new headlight lenses and muffler.
Of coarse the entire frontend had to come off.
My wife accepted a job at a local bank. They made a hybrid position for her and head-hunted her. It will be a good move for our family but she'll be driving 30miles a day instead of 10 so I figured it was time for some new head lights

Tomorrow - new headlights and a muffler for the wife’s civic. Sunday an old friend would like me to help look at his wife’s car it has an exhaust leak.

Just got back from a test drive - other than reinstalling the transfer case solo, it was pretty easy. It's snowing so I even got to test 4wd

Probably be done this weekend - the transmission to transfer case gasket won't be here until Friday.
The transmission dipstick tube was stuck pretty good and the transmission was seized on the dowels. I dropped a few fbombs but it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be.

Black Friday I was bored - so I cut the muffler off and put a Hooker Aerochamber on it. Now that it sounds good - it's time to tackle the leaking rear main seal.
About 5 hours in and it's torn down to the point that I can fix the rear main seal lol
