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.

NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles
Thu, Nov 27 2014US safety regulators have closed a pair of investigations into some 500,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder sedans built between 2004 to 2007, and 100,000 Chevrolet Impala models from 2014. The Ford investigation focused on rusting heat shields, which may become dislodged and jam the steering, according to Reuters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that this happened very rarely. In fact, of the ten incidents filed with the government safety watchdog, six came from a single police department, which evidently had some sort of problem with its reporting. As for the Impala, the NHTSA investigators attributed two incidences of "unintended autonomous braking" to user error. In both cases, the vehicles were involved in rear-end collisions. According to GM investigators, it's believed that drivers accidentally activated the electric parking brake, causing the collisions. The vehicles in question were rental cars.

Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray
Fri, 25 Oct 2013We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.
Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut
Thu, 07 Mar 2013We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.
