Dayum!! I love it.

I've come so close to picking one of those up. I've been looking for a package like that for the right price.

Do you really think it brakes well? I test drove one and got scared. Maybe it's because i'm used to how good my brakes are... :dunno:

edit: Silver is the best looking color imo

Welcome to the TBSS family. I just joined on 12/31 w/an 08 model. Got any mods on your 06?

IMO the brakes do pretty good for a 2 ton SUV. When new I wasn't too impressed, but after a few hundred miles they felt better. They're C5 sized rotors, calipers and pads.

I'm having to get used to the higher RPM at highway speeds.

no mods yet, still researching what im gonna do first but it looks like a tune and lowering it are at the top of the list.

Thanks for the call the other day to make sure we made it home alright ryan - we drove 21 hours straight but it was worth it to get home the next afternoon and have some time to clean it before i went out
