im not one to normally swing off someones nuts, but i'll give you the following props.
1) sick car with the best stance of any V i have seen.
2) crazy party life that involves boats.
if people hate then it must mean they notice you. if they notice you then let them hate and get stronger from it. I got some springs and honestly my car is way to high still. coil overs will be coming when ever i get this thing back on the road. time to lay frame.

meh, well, i guess i didn't look in to the payload too much because 2500lbs is squat for what i'm looking for.
i just need to keep the kids in mind, but also my needs for a quick car. guess i'll have to wait until i pay it off.... or come across a cheap 7.3 super duty.

I owned one before a lady ran a red light and took it out for me.
It can tow great has the LS2 motor and was super comfy.
I miss mine...but the Gas was about 14 mpg city and 18 mpg highway.

That is my other car. I only get about 11 mpg in town and 16 mpg on the highway @ 82 mph. Other than the crappy mileage (which I don't really care about anyway) , it is a pretty good grocery-getter / winter beater for me.

I am going to be in the market in the next 6 months or so for either, lol.. same thing, 2 kids... I wanted to put a hitch so I can mount the bike rack, but the problem with the Jeep is that the exhaust comes out the middle, lol.. so forget towing your boat too..

i wasn't going to go all about my setup as many already know, but they are 360 forged split sevens with some match painted accents.
20x9 front - 245/30/20 nitto invo
20x10.5 rear - 285/25/20 nitto invo
suspension consists of a k-sport complete coilover. it's got a significant drop to it
a quick google search brings up the official shoot pics

it's been lowered more since, obviously.

Good group over there.
I got better mileage after E-Fans, Intake, Tune, Resonator deletes, under drive pulleys, 180 T-stat.
After all that my miles per gallon went up.

Anyway, when I first got the TBSS I was on there for a little while and I really wanted to do an intake, IAT relocation, and tune but I decided (or realized) that I just don't have enough money to mod both my baby (CTS-V) and the TB. So my interests over there kinda died down and I have left the TB stock. I know I would enjoy the TB more with a tune, better exhaust, etc. I just don't love it enough to spend money on it. It is my AWD winter beater basically.
(Useless piece of information) - I think I am going to get a 6.2l Ford Raptor when I get the TBSS paid off.

How much did you gain on the mileage? It might be worth the $500 (or whatever it is) in the long run to get a tune and pick up some mpg and power.

Although with AWD you might not gain that much mpgs as I did. I actually was able to get about 23mpg highway after all my mods. It was just 2wd not the fastest but def was fun.
I have to say my fav memory was when I was out one night after mountain biking and had the Thule dual bike rack on the back with both the wives and I's bikes loaded when a 05-08 Mustang GT with an exhaust and whatever else started taunting me a little at the light...reving and such. Both our windows were rolled down and he sorta laughed and said - I guess Chevy will through an SS emblem on anything these days. - I commented - well she does do pretty good why dont we go at the light?
Light turned green... I nailed it and so did he we were even till he shifted to second and then I held him at my rear wheels all the way to 100 and he started creeping about that time we hit another red light. He wouldnt pull up next to to chat though for some reason. He just stayed sorta behind the rest of the way and wouldnt play anymore. It was definitely a great feeling.

The front 02 sensors should be replaced every 30,000 miles. If you have over 30,000 miles and haven't replaced them, you might pick up some gas mileage by replacing them. Bob
