So much hate in this thread lol. Have you noticed most people hating are all stock and very little work done? I like the idea dude. Sure beats the hell out of driving cautiously around speed bumps lol. Plus it just seems like you can have a lot of fun with this type of build.
Here are suggestions sense you were asking for ideas. I would go with a baha style. Some kind of bad ass grill guard up front. Cut the fenders. Then drop most of your money in the drivetrain and suspension. And of course you got to have some lights.

Small update....didnt score those lights so looking still for a good set.
Looking into getting some sort of suspension......unsure on that. Doing me research...want more lift.
Looking for a stock exhaust.....I want to get rid of this ARK setup and get a stocker. Anyone? Also looking to pick up HP Tuners so I can tweak some things...tire size for speedo...timing and fuel and such...I have the exact numbers at work but going to this size tire makes it something like a 3.62:1 versus stock 3.82:1? Something like that.
Installed my K&N Prefilter so now no worries about dirt and such
Pic of it installed.....
Pic of truck bed liner dash trim (thats a Hurst STS with the reverse lockout removed and hole for pin filled....whole thing painted in wrinkle black....with a polished knob)

Did some Sunday afternoon work.
Bumper needed some TLC and adjustment, figured I would redo the bumper badge....
While it was off, made some tweaks here and there.
Here you can see the K&N Prefilter so my ZZP CAI doesnt get too dirty.
Oh, thats right........Im finally painting those wheels.
This is a feeler paint job. Wasnt sure how the truck bed liner would look...so the barrels of the wheels arent dont.
Closer up shot......nice texture!
Also my interior pieces werent floating my boat......so.............
This is the GM Gold Carbon fiber trim kit.......couldnt find a good picture, so I gambled and think they look great! They dont come with door bezels though?
Anyways............hate on!

Its hard to tell in the pictures, but the fenders have actually been pulled out ....i loosened the bolts and pulled em as far out as I can then tightened em back up, then went around and pulled them by hand (they flare out in relation to the rest of the body line about a half inch)
I cant run but so much tire at this height.
I need some sort of lift springs. Im looking for a set of stock ls/t springs for cheap (read: free) to try and swap out and see what happens.
