Eh, you gotta pay to play. Big Ugly is still pretty stock(ish) but I don't even want to count out the money I've spent on it. The tires and wheels alone set me back about $800 and I got a deal!

 

[Dabba]

yup, think i put in more than i paid for mine already, tires cost me 1k. Im still not sure what size lift i want to do

2007 GMC 1 ton 16x7 grey steel wheels. They work great on pretty much any GM factory 16" 8 lug wheels.

Through my profile is a link to my cardomain page, there's a bunch of pictures in there.

 

[84cucv1ton]

still cant find those tires you have

 

[AJMBLAZER]

They seem to have dried up again. Nothing on Ebay lately. Not even the 325/85R16's.

 

[84cucv1ton]

yeah, been looking there too. sorry i sold the ones i had.

I've got thousands in my truck and I'm in the process of spending a few more! I've got a Cummins waiting to be dropped in it!

Less than a week after I started driving my 1009, I spent almost twice the purchase price on add-ons and mods. And I am not even close to being done yet. Most of the major items are done, but there are more in the works.

 

[Croatan_Kid]

I got all my lift parts (except shocks) through ORD and I believe my total was 850, not including crossover steering.

Front HD springs
greasable bushings and shackles
3" rear block
rear u-bolt flip kit
ProComp ES9000 shocks
ORD brake lines
Drop pitman arm

I know there was other stuff, but I don't remember it all.

 

[84cucv1ton]

i lifted mine a bit different. got only a few things from ord. i decided to go with diy4x4 for most of it. i think ord stuff it great. so is diy4x4. with diy4x4 i thought i was getting more for the money.
