My g500 conversion






Hey guys this is my G500, I got it last August over the year we've slowly been upgrading it. Did the seats first then the body kit, mirrors, wheels/tires and then the inside stuff like speedo,steering wheel and 10" dash screen. This truck is super easy to work on we did everything at home in our garage while drinking beer and bbqing.
