finally got to take her on a long drive
I finally got a chance to wash the dust off her and take the K25 on a long drive. I even got her up on I-35 for about 20 miles...smooth as silk at 70 mph turning 1800rpm thanks to the 4L80e overdrive. Damn that was fun!
She still has less than a 100 miles on her, lol. Also installed some new step bars. Here's a few pics. SC

Re: finally got to take her on a long drive
Thanks guys for all the kind comments.
I have a couple things left to do. I need to charge up the A/C...maybe this weekend, and I need to cut/buff the paint...a friend of mine is going to do that maybe next weekend. Here's a few more pics...still dusty under the hood and interior. Check out my custom transfer case shifter boot plate...the rubber boot is a road bicycle tire that I cut a slit down the middle...hard to see, but it has this neat looking tread pattern...works great.
