Newbie ready to rock! Hey guys!
I'm Kyle and I joined the site lookin' for some help.
I live in Monument, Colorado and I'm building a 2005 Silverado PRE-RUNNER, long travel truck.
First off- I am Paralyzed from the chest down. I got in a car wreck 11 years ago and crashed a Caddy CTS-V. I wasn't wearing a seat belt and NO I wasn't drunk, I was just bangin' gears, showin' off and ran out of Talent. Annnnyways.... I love to build trucks! Even tho I am in a chair I still get down in the garage and LOVE to fabricate! I bought this 05 Silverado 4x4 BONE STOCK and converted it into a 2wd Long Travel truck! I've been bustin' my crippled *** on this build!! I gotta say, it isn't easy for me to do the things that I do but I am dedicated as fAck! Here's some pictures to show you all what I've done so far. I'm pretty proud of the work I've done. I got 17 inches of travel in the front, so far. My biggest hurdle right now is, that I am building a LQ4 6.0L. This isn't my first LS build. But It's my first LS build while in a chair and the first time I've put some serious work into. Well, I'm lookin' forward to gettin' to know all of you!

Welcome to the site. Glad to see you persevere on your project. Looks like it will be a lot of fun. Will you have a lift of some sort to help you get in and out of the truck?
