High End Custom Chevrolet Silverado Lowrider
What you are looking at is one of the best examples of a daily driver show truck. I built this truck to be a
headturner, a fast beast, and a daily driver. If you wanted to turn this into a show truck, it would not take
much. If you want a bad ass daily driver, look no further. Keep in mind, this is NOT a show truck so it’s not
110% perfect but damn near. I don’t abuse it but I use it and I worked hard to keep it as clean as possible and
keep idiots from ruining it. Why am I selling it? Where I live in the Midwest, this truck is not practical for so
many months out of the year and I’m not going to subject it to salt over and over again, that is a pain in the
butt. So I’m going to work on my offroad vehicles instead. It is very, very, very hard to let this truck go due
to the amount of laughs, pain, and time I have in it but I want someone else to have fun.
This truck started out as a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado and then in 2009 I purchased the truck and proceeded to
customize it. All the frame was completely redone by Xtensive Metalworks in Texas. Then a 2006 front clip was
added for an upgraded touch. Underneath the frame was made to tow three times its capacity with a hidden hitch and
rear view camera. Utilizing a KP components 4 link suspension with a Watts link in the rear combined with
ridetech’s top shocks. Up front we had RideTech personally install the front suspension with their custom A
arms, shocks, bags, you name it. The entire suspension is controlled by Accuair eLevel control with custom pod
mounted in the dash.
The engine is a stock V8 5.3 but has been heavily massaged to pump out close to 575 hp. Custom boost loop cam,
tuning, supercharger, cold ram air, electric fans, etc make this truck and absolute beast. Rounding out the engine
is a custom exhaust and muffler from Black Widow which absolutely sounds subtle and mean as hell. The amount of
people who turn heads when this truck is idling or driving by is nuts. It’s not annoying, it just commands
attention. And to be really clear, it’s fast…I mean it will blow the doors off of cars without even trying.
And I DON’T do dead stop burnouts because I did not feel like replacing the gears or axle or transmission. Which
by the way, the transmission is a performance transmission that comes with a lifetime warranty.
The entire inside of the truck was custom redone with the entire front dash being fiberglass and painted the same
color as the truck. Custom pod was built to house the speed management system and eLevel controller.
From an audio standpoint, it house two HD digital JL amps behind the rear seat powering two JL 12 subs under the
rear seat in a custom box and seperates in the rear door as well as JL’s high end component system up front and
custom tweeters in the dash pod. The sound is absolutely amazing no matter what kind of music you like, especially
coming from the Kenwood dash…..that of course has Bluetooth, microphone, etc.
The interior has custom blue led lights under the seats, dash, cup holders, and rear seat. In addition, the entire
truck has an underbody light system that can change to any color that lights up the entire ground. The front and
rear seats have aftermarket leather covers that match the color of the truck.
The outside of the truck was completely smoothed out with the entire rear being custom built to include frenched in
smooth rear lights and working tailgate. Painted a gorgeous silver with medium blue and silver flake, the paint
just gleams in the sunlight. The side handles were left on because again, this is a daily driver. A custom
sunroof was included up top that slides into the truck itself for a very clean look.
The bed of the truck is all custom with of course custom bed liner and AccuAir’s air management system and two
batteries and lights inside the bed for easy viewing. Topping the bed is a custom aluminum flat bed cover, painted
to match.
The wheels are 24” Massiv 910 Envious wrapped in 275/30r24 tires to which the entire truck rides like a dream.
Having owned many lowriders before I had two goals, comfort and usability.
All brakes were redone to high end disk brakes with EBC pads.
Yes you can tow with this truck not a problem.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible headed for Geneva debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013While most of the world is still coming down from all the hype surrounding the debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, we're already looking to the future. And according to Autoweek, the next chapter in the C7 story will unfold at the Geneva Motor Show in March. That's right, General Motors is reportedly using the Swiss stage as its venue to debut the Corvette Stingray convertible.
If this strikes you as odd, you aren't alone. After all, with a car that's such an American icon, we'd fully expect Chevrolet to unveil it here on our shores in either Chicago or New York. But according to Autoweek, GM is looking to boost export sales of its halo car, and since the C7 was engineered to compete with the world's best and brightest, showing it off in Geneva is somewhat of a smart move. What's more, those with sharp memories will recall that GM used the Geneva expo to debut the sixth-generation C6 Corvette convertible back in March 2004, so there's also a precedent.
Details surrounding the Corvette Stingray convertible are still slim, though we fully expect the 6.2-liter V8 and choice of either six-speed automatic or seven-speed manual transmissions to carry over unchanged. Prototypes spotted on the road showed the car fitted with a cloth convertible roof, as well.
Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme
Mon, 17 Dec 2012They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
Chevy rolls out Silverado HD High Country
Wed, 09 Apr 2014It's been a good week for heavy-duty truck buyers. First, Ram revealed the Black Package for its HD trucks, then it rolled out its new Power Wagon, and now Chevy's getting in on the action with its Silverado High Country HD. Okay, so it may not pack quite the attitude of Ram's latest 2500-series offerings, but the High Country HD will come as a welcome addition to the Chevy Trucks range to those looking to pull their horse, boat or other trailer without skimping on creature comforts.
Rolled out a little under a year ago, the High Country trim is Chevy's answer to the likes of the GMC Denali, Ford King Ranch and Ram Longhorn. It has until now only been offered on the light duty, 1500-series Silverado, but now extends to the 2500 and 3500-series HD models, as well.
So what sets a High Country pickup apart from lesser Chevy trucks? You'll be able to pick it out based on its chrome horizontal grille, body-color bumpers, 6-inch tubular side steps, 20-inch chrome wheels (18-inch on the 3500 and 17-inch on the dualie) and, of course, plenty of special badging. But it's inside where the High Country makes its mark, with a cabin decked out in saddle brown perforated leather, seats that are both heated and cooled, eight-inch touchscreen with full MyLink suite, Bose audio and park assist functions front and rear to keep those color-keyed bumpers looking fresh. (Though Chevy hasn't yet showed us the interior of the HD model, it'll presumably look mostly the same as the cab in the 1500 High Country in the gallery below.)
