January of 2009 i bought my 2008 Chevrolet Colorado as a left over model on the lot. Paid 16,500 out the door. i had intentions of buying a 2009 black crew cab 2wd. but then i saw mine and it sold me.

i wish i would have started this earlier but oh well.

Here are pics and mod pics.

the day i brought it home.
Image

Image

sitting with my old truck in the garage.
Image


first mods are tinted windows, tonneau cover and vent visors.
Image

Image


didnt even have 1000 miles on it and i put 31s on it.
Image


easter rolled aroung and i put the factory tow hooks on it. my truck was pre drilled for them.
Image


painted my bowtie
Image


put on leaf spring helpers and couple of random shots
Image

Image

Image


talked to WTRacing and did the black inlay in the bumper.
Image

Image


put on a bug shield then was removed shortly after because i didnt likw the way it looked.
Image


started lifting my truck
just shackels and tortion bar crank
Image

Image


picked up a set of z71 flares off a member on cfans.
Image

Image


Walking out to my truck after work and one of the guys i worked with backed into it.
Image

witch lead to a black bumper cover.
Image


Installed a Tuff country AAL and Keys
Image

Image


Couple of shots in the winter time
Image

Image

Image


The day happened again. this time my neighbor backed into it.
Image


MESM was coming up and i really want to change the look of my truck.
Cragar wheels, balljoint flip for more lift, headlight covers and chopped my bug shield in half.
Image


Ordered a new set of red flares from the dealer, ssk shifter, intake and lightes behind the grille
Image

Image

Image

Image


well installed a set of 33s and bad day happened.
Image

she ended up needing a new core support.
Image


back to new and installed a set of nerf bars.
Image

Image


the 33s fit but it was pretty close to the fenders so a body lift was installed.
Image

Image

finished with monk_one and went and took a photoshoot
Image

Image


tinted tails by todd, some others and random
Image

Image

Image


Installed a MBRP exhaust and had to get the tailpipe re-located.
Image

Image

Image


And as she sits right now
Image

wow talking about some changes!!!!
u need a facelift award, you've had like a lot !!1 haha :lol:
sweet truck mang!
hey now thats an idea... lol>
Dude that is a great walk through!!! Good job and love the truck! On the 33's... what back spacing are you using? I love how little your tires stick out from the wheel flares...
my backspacing is 4.75. 15x8 rim. i really like how they dont stick out too far.

thanks everybody. i have some HIDs on the way. i eventually want to build a pre runner cage on the front bumper and nice nice aftermarket hood.

yea something has been wanting me to paint it inferno orange plus shave the handles.

its possible to get the lift amount in a 2wd. but thanks!!
Very tastefully done so far mane, I like it.

Only thing I can see, paint the mirrors and handles and you will be solid
its done, for now. :lol: i get compelments when going to the gas station and such. i need to get another truck here soon.. the only thing i could see doing is getting a hood , painting the rest of the plastics black and shaving all 3 handles.
