I know there are alot of people on here that have a wish list for what they want done to their trucks. So how much have you accomplished on your wish list?? I have a big list and plan on getting started as soon as me and the wife get into our new house.
 
the list never ends lol
 
X3 I threw away the list it was too long.
 
Not enough paper in the word available for me to start writing down the things I want to do.

I think if I were to complete the list, no one would know what kind of truck it was to start with...lol
 
Oh well must be a sign of old age......I have a short list every time I get an AV and on both of them I am mostly done I think.
I like a Bedslide for practicality of getting load in and out of the bed with no weight on tailgate or having to lean over tailgate.
I like a nice sounding exhaust with better than stock performance like the Corsa Sport Cat back system.
I like a Dashmat to cut down on glare and help prevent plastic from cracking.
I buy a Z71 so i get the side bars to help family get in the AV, I also buy a Westin Bull bar and rear hitch bar to help provide protection all the way around from parking lot dings
Minor cosmetic things like painting the bowtie. In my younger days i might consider a Magnacharger supercharger but now I don't spend much on a vehicle since they all depreciate and I keep them about 10 years. With limited funds I have to think twice about where to spend money and I have many places for my money to go not just the AV.

Now maybe if money was no object then a "fantasy AV" might be cool!  >:D
 
I've done just about everything on my list except two:
For practicality, I would like to get a bed-slide and for looks I'd like a chrome brush guard.
Other than that I think I'm good.

I did my sail panel LEDs, 6 on high, all 4 brake light mod, rear seat head rest, LOF&I, Added steering wheel controls, upgraded the audio and replaced the speakers, Spectre CAI and a Cat back exhaust with a Flowmaster 50.

If I had the chance to do any of it over, I would have gone dual exhaust, but at the time funds were limited.
Maintenance wise, I've replaced the plugs with AC Delco Iridium, with MSD 8.5MM wires, replaced all fluids and Trans filter (did not flush the system, but did replace the fluid three times AFTER I dropped the pan and replaced the filter). I also cleaned the MAF sensor and throttle body when I did the CAI.

Next up will be new tires, as the current ones are at about 40%. Most likely do brakes at the same time and if $$ permits, upgrade to the GMT900 disks and calipers. Otherwise some new pads and another item for the wish list.  >:D
 
speaking of long lists.... :D

I have a set of Bushwacker 40948-02 Pocket flares, brand new still in box that I've decided not to use. I'll even paint them to match your truck! $425 + shipping. I can paint them to match for an additional $175.
