Default Cetral Texas, look out

Santa brought us a new hot rod for christmas.. We aroiginally planned on a Chevy 1500 W/T to do as a show truck for the shop, but couldnt pass this beast up.. 400 hp in a 4600lbs SUV is a pretty badass combo..
Im looking to do heads, cam, N20, headers and 3" exhaust in the near future- maybe get this baby in the 11s..

Did you buy this one from Don Ringler? I noticed you were in Temple, TX. If this is the one from Ringler I test drove it on Monday. I tried to talk my wife into it but, no dice. Damn thing was quick for a SUV.

I drove it about 1:30 on Monday. It had 76 miles on it when I got in it. I was told that Donnie Ringler thought he had it sold last Friday but did not. He probaly let someone take it home for the weekend. I did have to push the rear valance back on myself because it was trying to pop off. You might want to have Ringler check it out to make sure it stays on. I will see you around. I have a 04 Dark Grey VHO with a Radix.

Yes...The black piece that is snapped on the back bumper. I had to snap both sides on because it was trying to come off. Far right and left sides of the back bumper. It was only hanging on by the reciever hitch
