Here's mine at the dealership. 2014 Iridium SLT All Terrain 5.3L. I picked it up 11 days ago drove it 500KM to what will be my new home, parked at the airport and flew home to start packing. I finally get to drive it again tomorrow.

 

I need a level kit and Line-x bedliner.

So I've always had white/black theme trucks so I decided to mix it up a little bit for once. Before:

Yea, these new trucks seem to sag a lot with weight in the back. Last week i had two yards of topsoil in the bed and it was like driving a boat on the road. The back end was almost maxed out and the front end felt like it was barely touching the road. After i unloaded it i went back for a yard of limestone and it was almost the same effect.

Picked her up Friday: Crew Cab, Z71, Short Bed. 500 Miles about 60/40 Highway/NYC streets and so far I'm very pleased. Was lucky to find these forums and educate myself before pulling the trigger, a lot of great info/members on here.

Captured a little iridescent rays in a pic yesterday that I thought was kind of cool. On a sunny day you can see those colors in the iridium metallic paint.

 

I guess you never know what you'll catch in a photo when you don't know how to take them.

Figured I would actually put my truck on here after being on the forums everyday for the last 7 months without making any posts lol!

Feel free to ask any questions, I enjoy this community you guys have.

 

Build Date: 07/2013 (5.3 w/ 3.42 gears)

6" Rancho
35x12.50r18 Nitto Trail Grapplers

Full exhaust delete and replaced with Flowmaster Super 40 2.5" dual in/dual out (dumped behind bumper)

SmittyBuilt Steps

Worked with Lew for some amazing results.

Considering CAI.
Was going to do a gear swap to 4.10 but Lew fixed my mpg loss from the 35s.
I have slight interest in headers, have not read too much on anyone having them however.

    • Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.
    • You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.
    • It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is. 
    • I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.    
    • Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.
