Update
So.. some douche at one of the troy games (im guessing it was a guy from the away team) broke my right side exhaust off... he put his feet in the tips and stomped down and broke the mounts on the front pipe and broke the pipe on the back one... so im changing my exhaust again... im just going to do single 5s hidden back under the quarter panel with a quieter muffler and shorty headers... Im also going to re gear to 4.56s and I'm also looking for heavy duty front and rear bumper replacements...
Im Johnny and im 19 and this is my 1997 GMC Sierra Z71 Im a student at Troy and myself and friends have done 90% of the work on this truck I enjoy the self satisfaction of doing it myself lol its been a long way since i got it almost 3years ago

Time Line
This was right after i got it.. 3inch Superlift, p.o.s. radials, cat back straights to 3 1/2 inch tips out the back... watch it change over time
First time in the mud after it got out of the body shop after the wreck... new hood grill and fenders, a tahoe pulled out in front of me on the highway, i t-boned it goin about 45... the tahoe was competely totalled i drove away.. thats a testament to these old bodies you can see the dent in my bumper where i broke his rim lol
When I got my 35" Maxxis Bighorns for Christmas.. ewgh i cant believe i kept all that chrome and ugly euros for so long
My 2nd exhaust, i try and keep it original and as far as i know this was the first set of tips laid on their side like this.. most people hated on it for about a year.. then people started copying it so i changed it up more pics of that further down..also new tail lights and clear corners
