Greetings from Afghanistan!

Hey all! New to the site and new to the truck scene. I just bought my first truck this past Friday(parents picked it up and are storing it till I'm home next month), and wanted to say hey and hope to learn a lot about the 4x4 Chevy scene. The truck is a Victory Red 2004 Silverado 1500 Z71 Crew Cab with a 5.3 and 4x4. One owner and only 68k on the clock. Color matches my '02 Camaro SS perfectly. I've already started picking out what I want done to her. Just ordered a set of Pacesetter LT's and still deciding on what exhaust I want. Any and all info/suggestions is greatly welcome, as my buddy with a 2000 1500HD 6.0 is trying like hell to convince me against any form of modification. That's....just not for me. Anyway...I'm going to stop rambling now. Glad to be here and can't wait to take my truck for a spin for the very first time!
