Default If you like Z71 suburbans come inside! (pics)

Hey guys,

It's been a little while since i've posted on here and just wanted to show you my ride. I was in the market for an f-body about 2 months ago and decided to keep what i have and i'll get back to an f-body later on. I'm only 17 and really did want a fast car but decided to just keep what i was given and not be a brat and try to get another vehicle.

I know it's not the coolest thing on the planet or the fastest but damn i love driving it. I just love riding with the windows down and my sunroof open listening to sirius radio. The truck is bone stock at the moment besides tinted windows that i got done about a week ago and i am going to be getting an exhaust and nitto m/t's soon along with many many other things. Well enough of my babbling and here are some pics, they were taken today btw.

Thanks man. I like it a lot so far. They are not that hard to find but are not very cheap. But you get your moneys worth because they are very well built and really durable. You'd like it a lot, really nice dd.

Nice camaro BTW man i really want an f-body at heart.

I have been thinking about picking up that exact Z71 burb. My advice would be don't replace the tires or the exhaust. The tires and wheels look good as is. A loud exhaust will not make it fast, it is way too heavy. It will just make it loud. What I would do is spend money on stereo. You can put an incredible system in that much space. A couple of big amps, a pair of 12s, head unit with ipod interface, maybe even video. Keep this stuff hidden and it won't get stolen.

What inch lift you got on there? They'd just be way to big for the setup i'm going with.

Yea i def. want an exhaust that is a MUST lol. I know it's not gonna be fast it won't make much of a difference with performance. I just want a more aggresive exhaust note thats all. Now when i get my custom tune i'm gonna have the ricers shitting there pants lol... they'll find out how it feels having a 3 ton truck pass them up.

I'm getting the nittos because i'm gonna off road in this thing man ( keeping the stock rims also). I'm not getting some off roading tires for show i'm hittin the trails lol.... only problem is it's gonna mess with my mpg's. Not happy about that it already is bad on gas.

You should def. get yourself one if you really want it they are good trucks you'll get your moneys worth. This has 107xxx and we have not had any problems whatsoever with it.

I don't want a big stero system either lol i'm just gonna replace the radio head unit and put a screen in it's place.

If that was my Suburban I would add some long tubes, E-Fans, pulley, an Intake and a tune and wake the puppy up! a Tru-Trac would help also..
