'99 Sierra, Project Dumped Daily


Recommended Posts

those LED halos looks dope...

Thanks! I like them a lot.

how much clearance do you have between notch and axel?

when i did mine i had a whole inch of suspension travel lol

My axle is actually resting on the new bump stops that came with the notch. I'm considering cutting down the new bump stops and raising it up to a 7 inch drop to give it a little more travel. I'm pretty surprised the rear is so low, almost concerned I screwed something up.

nope.. thats normal... which is horrible IMO
get yourself some air shocks to lift it up a bit.


youll want about 4" clearance to drive it.. with no weight or youll be bottoming it out constantly ( depending on shock setup)

What kind of air shocks would you recommend? I was considering helper bags but I don't have any experience with either.

helperbags will be much better if you decide to put audio in.
it should bassically bolt onto your truck also. just make sure you use all 4 bolt holes on the bag braket or it will want to twist ( been ther done that.. lol )

i would do the bags then air shocks after that.

Got the headlights done, decided to go all out with it and ordered some more halos for the high beams but they showed up DOA so I had to get replacements and that took a while. Also got some GMC decals made from StickerNerd that I put in the housing. I think they turned out awesome!

Wanted to extend the infrared receiver into the cab so I could control the halos while driving but it seemed like splicing that would be an ordeal so the receiver is hidden in the grille.

I like them a lot, they snap necks like crazy. The remote and stuff for them is cheaply made, i'm going to go back and silicone the crap out of the control box for it because it's pretty exposed to the elements. Here's where I got them: http://www.ebay.com/itm/161358745504?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

The truck now has the Crescendo S1500 and an Incriminator Audio Death Row 18" in it; I was blown away by how much louder it is compared to the CT Sounds! I forgot to add pics to the build log because that's pretty much the only thing that has changed with the truck the last few months.

Here's a quick video of the sub's first day in action https://instagram.com/p/yP90NOisZv/

Unfortunately my truck has had a very rough week. Last Friday I was rear ended, the tailgate seems like it isn't worth saving and there's some other minor damage to the rear. Luckily the other driver's insurance has been relatively hassle free so far.

These iphone pictures don't really show the extent of the dents; it's a bit worse in person.

As if that weren't enough, last night I was jumping a friends car and I had to hop a curb in order for the cables to reach. A bush in the garden I was in grabbed the front air dam and ripped it off, so that lasted about three months on the truck without incident. :lol: Such is life with a lowered truck...

Also recently got a new set of 255/55/18 tires that fit the drop without rubbing and the truck is even lower because of it.

I really like the way this truck is coming together! Those purple interior lights and halos are giving me some crazy ideas for my suburban. Also had no idea about the "cladding" on those wheels, they look MUCH better decladded in my opinion, if i saw them on the street I would instantly think aftermarket.

-If its loud, fast, outrageous, or all of the above, chances are i'll think its awesome.
