05 Burb

Pulled the fender flares back off to paint them and kinda like it without but is getting really dirty.
I think my next project is a rear tire carrier. Probably going hitch mounted so I can take it off easily. Also going to start gathering parts for onboard air. Probably Viair because I’m pretty familiar with their products.

Other than that all I’ve done lately is rear diff fluid swap, changed out all of my bulbs, oil change and what not. Nothing spectacular :). Enjoying lurking in the forum though.
I know there aren’t a whole lot of 99-06 Chevy SUV fans active in here but figured I’d share, thought this is neat. I like the bumper I made for my Burb but it’s a little too much for a daily driver. Kind of looks like I’m rock crawling on the freeway lol. So decided to go back and mod the stock one. Here’s a sequence. Started by removing the lower valance and cap.
Then painted the whole thing with Summit White to match the body. Thought about doing the bars black but tired of that look and can always change them. The little tabs on the sides are for led spots.
I think it came out pretty good considering I just winged it. Now the front end will have a factory look with a little bit of custom
Painted the lower air dam black, will re-attach and mount everything up this weekend. Got all new hardware so I don’t have to search for the old pieces.
Mounted up. Just need to put the fog lights in and the spotlights but I think it looks much cleaner.

Ok, I was going to comment on how much I like your full-size rig (I've got a 2012 Suburban that I'm about to start modifying and really like the FS trucks) but when I saw the shower...dang...that's probably one of the most ingenious mods I've seen. Very clever and extremely functional! Really great job with this.
You were the inspiration for my build. I saw your build on another forum and sort of based mine on yours! Nice to see you back on a forum
I've changed up a few things, took off my roof rack because I never used it and it just made gas mileage worse. You can stuff a lot of gear into a burb so it was really just for looks. I do miss having the lights up there though.
Edit - just noticed you were responding to Jelorian haha
Do you have a build thread here?

Most recent shot of the glam wagon. I'm pretty OCD/can't leave something alone so it changes a lot. I know this look isn't as utilitarian as most rigs on the site but it's still just as capable. Just shinier.
