Got My new Truck (pics in Post 96)

***pics in post 96***

I just got me a 2006 Z-71 with 27k miles. Fully loaded. Soon will level it off and get tires after the summer, no need to wear out new mud terrains yet. It got 19 miles per gallon on the way back from Mississippi today. Now i don't have to worry about will my truck make the long haul on a vacation. Ill get pics tomm when i can get time to upload them, dial up sucks for pics imo.
5.3 liter Vortec
3.42 gears
power everything
Bose Audio system.
My plans are to put some 33x12.50r17 SSR's on it and remove one of the valence panels under the bumper when i crank the torsion bars.
The reason i jumped on this truck was i knew the previous owner personally (hes an older guy who gets a new truck once a year).
oh yeah 5 year 100k mile warranty too. It Gm used Certified.

Its grey stone metallic, ext cab.
I traded in the Z. It will be in laffy soon. Some guy from laffy is buying it for a dealership.

 

[MaXXis85]

well not many trucks come with 3.73s anymore. getting more 3.42s all over.

 

[MaXXis85]

no camo. Daniel I wanted a more reliable daily driver.

 

[MaXXis85]

Probably so, But i got tired of modifying 2 trucks man it gets too expensive

2006 k1500/ECSB/5.3/60e/8.25/8.5/GreyStone Metallic/17" Stock Alum Wheels
Plans so far. Law and I were talking. I will crank to level (probably max out tbs) and remove the lower valence panel(these trucks have a valence on the bottopm bumper cover).
I want some Light ass tires. This will be a DD so super nasty tires arent needed. I need opinions for tires? 285/70r17 or 305/70r17s are in the future but i have 3.42's So i need an LIGHT WEIGHT tire. Buckshots are cheap may go with them the 285's are 33"
Window tint will come into effect soon. The bose radio is really clear IMO
Before i get tires I NEED to level it off i cant help it. marcus= likes cali style or level IMO

 

[MaXXis85]

Congradulations!

Thanks Hovey!

 

[MaXXis85]

Ill get pics today. I hope the dial up will permit me to upload them jokers IMO

 

[MaXXis85]

I like White letters BTW, but my dad has 285/70/17 on his 06 CC and i like the stance with the tbs cranked.

 

[MaXXis85]

I need to get in the glove box and decode the rpo's to see what engine i have. Im not sure if its the 290 ish or 310 HP motor.

 

[MaXXis85]

you can put my rancho bars in there if you want

If they are Free (all the free help i been giving you) :hmm:

 

[MaXXis85]

Alright Guys. Waht tires should be ran on here. Im not paying more than 200 a tire so thats out the question. Swampers are not needed on this rig.
1. level off the truck (remove Lower valence) probably tonight
2. Tint windows
3. Tires

 

[MaXXis85]

look what i said on angry

Read it. Thats my thinking too. All Mud terrainsd are equal in cpabilities, so might as well get the cheapest one.

 

[MaXXis85]

Well no pics yet. Cajun came over to the house and we boiled 2 sacks of crawfish, so pics HAD to wait IMO.

 

[MaXXis85]

Well ill get pics after the bars are cranked. Im cranking them after work at 3:00 pm CST. Then tonight i can have them up. It wont look like a paw paw truck hahah (as bad).

 

[MaXXis85]

Ill align it again when bars get in my possesion. 49 bucks isnt going to break me now. I need it to sit more level IMO.

 

[MaXXis85]

More money if they have to do UCA knockouts

My dads truck was leveld and it was a 50 dollar crank/alignment total. you get about 2" max on stock bars IIRC

 

[MaXXis85]

I need a good type of exhaust. Bullet or Spintech?

 

[MaXXis85]

spintech

What type? I dont know anything about thses mufflers. Any facts?

 

[MaXXis85]

$50 Is about right here. most places want $70+
