SS in Black, pewter, and lowered


Recommended Posts

I had to mess w/ the SS pic since it is such a sweet looking truck.

 

Pewter:

Black:

Black and slightly lowered:

I think it looks good just a few inches lowered, a bit of a more aggresive stance.  Anyone want to buy one for me :thumbs:

Those pics are nice.  Kinda makes you wonder though, what's Jon doing sitting home on the 4th photochopping truck pics instead of going out and picking up some chics  :thumbs:

You know the answer to that question you little jerk, don't make me hurt you :plainsmile:

 

And one could ask why you're looking at my photoshopped pics instead of doing the same :thumbs:

Goodness.  Lowered trucks I really don't care for, especially when not custom.  Custom, I can appreciate work, but stockers like lightenings....ick

I dunno, isn't this basically the same height as the other GM trucks that are AWD?  It sits about the same height as a regular silverado w/ a 2" drop in the back end to level it out.  I personally like the truck, if I only had money I'd get one and slap a turbo or supercharger on it.

I don't know, that lowered version doesn't look half bad  . . .  I like the black the best, but the new blue fits it well also!

 

Come December I may need to beg the wifey a little harder - I want one!!  :thumbs:

i dont think pewter is a very SS color! :thumbs:

C'mon Paco, I made that one just for you :D

 

Larry, very nice, I especially like the logo.  I didn't want to lower it too much, I figured about a 2" lower stance would make the truck look a lot better.  That ram air hood looks sweet though, i would definetly get one for it.  Although, that's like having 4 intake tubes on the truck now, at least :thumbs:

    • This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com. 
    • Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver. 
    • Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....  
    • 4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps. 
    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
