Long due for an update!!

Hey guys. it's been a loooong time since i posted last, but here's an update of my 96

 

Here it is sitting next to my old dd

 

As some of you remember I had bought a 95 silverado and did a few thigns to it and used it as a daily driver fo some time well i decided I wanted something bigger and better and well I think I found that.

 

Old Daily Driver

 

New Daily driver

 

Yep that's right it's a 99 Cadillac Escalade! I kept the 22's and will be running them in the summer. Since i Can't keep anything stock the escalade had to change just to be different.

So with that I added billet grill, Clears, tint, and some 285/75 BFG's for the winter.

 

Next to school

And here it is as she sits today with an unpainted Cowl hood.

 

 

Now It's ready for it's biggest change. I jsut got done talking to an instructor here at WyoTech and he'll be painting my caddy in a couple weeks. The plan is from the upper body line down a charcoal gray with a bright silver dividing the black and the gray going around the truck. but having the black dip down into the sides and on the tailgate like this truck.

 

That's all for now!

Bling, bling…..That is one big white truck with little tiny axles. The green one is nice but the wheels gotta go. Not sure what to say about the caddy but someone paid too much for a Tahoe. It would be the envy of any man on Jefferson Ave in downtown Detroit.

 

Just yanking your chain….they all look nice. Different strokes for different folks.

wow man. you're one to talk you bought an 04 tahoe z71 so basically you just paid for an over priced tahoe. I'd take a look at my own garage and some of the stuff in it before i start ragging on someone elses.

That's the first I've seen of the Escalade. Very nice!

Whatever kid……..I liked your first post better before you edited it. Like I said, I was just messing with you so relax. Anybody that puts bling bling wheels on something and owns an Escalade has to be open to some razzing once and while. Geez. The white truck is nicely done though. Like your post said before you edited it said you had plans for bigger axles….except you better plan on something a little bigger and stronger than a Dana 44 and 12 bolt as you stated for 35’s.

I think he was just throwing the playful razz back at ya Larry.

 

 

asskicker, I think the grill + the tire/wheel setup (with the stock rims) really set it off. I really dig it

 

Will the '96 fit in that garage in the first pic?

I would have kept that, but I rather not go to your level pal. I'm open to razzing, but out bashing a person ride is another thing. Bigger and stronger axles? it's a show truck? Why waste the money on a dana 60 or a 14 bolt when i don't need it? or were you thinking I should go with 2.5 ton Rockwells? or even step up and pay out my ass for some unimogs just so i can roll down the streets? POINTLESS. A dana 44 and a 12 bolt with chromoly shafts and with the 12 bolt the center pin on the spider gears is a soft metal that should be replaced with a harden pin which costs all of 20 bucks. for that pin and then a good amount for the shafts and 4.88 front and rear so i can run some 42 or 44's.

Yup, it fit just fine. That was the old house though. When he had the 3+2 roll bar and KC lights, it made for some touchy clearance issues, but it worked just fine.
