    Good cheap mods: 1) Headlight/Fog light/High Beam mod. Usually referred to as the "6-high mod". A couple cheap diodes gets the fogs to turn on automatically with the headlights, and has all 6 lights on when you switch to brights. 2) LED strip lights in the front seat footwells, and rear floor area. Wired with the dome light such that they come on when a door is opened. Wires & lights are completely hidden, but eliminates any shadows on the floor areas. 3) DeeZee easy down strut for the tailgate. Just pop the tailgate open and let go; the strut slowly lowers the tailgate. 4) Not sure if this can be sourced anymore, but an Escalade cowl piece where the stock truck antenna sticks up. The gmt800 Escalades didn't have an antenna sticking up there, so the cowl piece is smooth. Just run a stock length antenna horizontal under the hood on the lip of the passenger fender. I've had all these for over a decade. Best "bang for your buck" cheap mods.

    It’s not a real Chevy if the windshield ain’t cracked 😎🕺🏽
  • LGND also did door handles that have LED strips slim and bright in them. Look outstanding. You should do them and your tailgate handle with a brake light strip in it. Would be crazy

    ever considered vinyl wrapping between the side windows? I did it on mine and absolutely am in love with it. I drew a straight edge with masking tape off the top of my drip guards and made it level with plastic strip under the window. it was extremely cheap and it didn't take a ton of time. well worth it in my opinion. love the vids keep em comming. gives me ideas for my 07 crew long lbz.

    So strange that I just came in from replacing some headlight housings on my silverado and noticed that the fog light switch wasn't working. Then this video is randomly suggested to me and you demo how to replace the dang thing! AWESOME! Thanks and Great video!
  • The dee-zee tailgate assist shock setup really good mod I’ve put them on my last four trucks!

    slick, my 03 is near mint. one owner, low miles, but baked in the AZ sun for 20 years. jealous of all the rigs with good paint.

    Currently saving up to get a truck hopefully I can find a Chevy Silverado early 2000’s and have the build similar to this. Came to YouTube to look at some potential ideas and this video gave me a great idea on what I’d want to do on my truck once I get it.🙌🏽
  • The 5.7 vortec in my 98 obs had a similar resonator that I did the same exact rubber cap on. It sounded so much nicer in the truck and definitely made me drive a little more spiritedly lol as for actual gains probably not that much if any at all it just sounded cool.
  • @RICORECONREDO
    I love your attention to detail bro very nice upgrades ill def be getting that tailgate handle for my 06' in victory red
  • Great video and Bullet antenna for the win!! Truck is looking incredible and can’t wait for the mods to follow!! Keep up the incredible work 👍
  • That ending driving... Makes me love yhyat i live in Alabama. Beauty everywhere. 256!!!
  • @nicklair3046
    I bought one of those bullet antennas from lgnd too. Radio signal is crap(I expected that) and within 9 months the black somehow turned into silver.
  • @jsmith5443
    Steering wheel cover and floor mats are a great improvement. I bought Dickies brand floor mats and a Dickies brand steering wheel cover from Walmart.
  • hey i’ve been wanting to get a chevy, an old one. but i don’t like how the headlights are pointed. i like the squared ones. is there a way to change them ? or is it possible to make them squared ?

    on my old 2006 Sierra I fixed my fog light switch with a little spring from an old remote control (the little springs that hold the batteries in place) The original switch is a chintzy design where the spring action comes from a little rubber diaphragm that breaks and flattens out.
