Hello everyone, I'm new here but I figured I'd share my rig with everyone.
Her name is "Rio" and she's my new toy. Got her in Feb and she was in "alright" condition especially for the age. Since I picked her up I've done the following things to her.
Full tuneup, plugs, wires, distributor cap, air filter, fuel filter, ect..
Painted Headlight Bezels
Changed the AX-5 transmission oil
Dana 35C rebuild then used Valvoline synthetic lube for it
Gabriel oversized steering stabilizer
Rugged Ridge Mirror Relocation Mounts
Custom Mirrors, replacements for older van/trucks
Sony xplod 4x6's up front, illuminate 4" in the sound bar
New brake pads all around, new rear drums too...
Adjusted NP231 shift linkage...
Some minor body work so far, going tube fenders soon enough
New seals around the hardtop and the doors
Here's a few of the pictures.

Now I can't leave out my precious... I know, bad Lord of the Rings reference, but still I love my truck. "Silver" is my wife's DD.
I've owned this since `05 after getting from the original owner who only used it on the highway for delivering farm tools and hay bails. He buys a new one every 5 years, so I got a deal, specially since he's a friend. Aside from the point, let me describe her.
2000 Silverado non-HD with HD Rear setup
GM standard auto locking rear diff
6.0l powerplant with high flow fuel rail, injectors, pump
Electric braking system for trailers with oversized brakes on the rig
Higher flow intake system
Custom glasspack exhaust system utilizing the stock tail pipe
Lowered transfer case ratio from the factory (I forget what ratio he had put into it, but it's LOW)
Here's a snap of her, she's aweful nice and never gives me much trouble. Though she won't light them up from the nice powerplant because of that locker, she HAS outraced a Neon SRT or whatever that Dodge rice burner Joey had at work LOL

Those are my rigs, love them both. I used to have a `78 CJ powered by a 304. I miss that thing so much, so glad to have a Jeep again though!
