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.

Weekly Recap: Revisting the BBC report that ended Jeremy Clarkson's Top Gear run
Sat, Mar 28 2015Jeremy Clarkson's long run as a Top Gear host has come to an end, and the reason is clear: His physical assault on one of the show's producers crossed a line, and the government-owned BBC couldn't tolerate it. The incident between Clarkson and Top Gear producer Oisin Tymon was initially described as a "fracas," and Clarkson was suspended. But his popularity and widespread support – even British Prime Minister David Cameron weighed in – suggested that the controversial Clarkson might be given yet another chance. The BBC put this to rest Wednesday when it sacked Clarkson and revealed the findings of its investigation. The report spelled out how Clarkson struck Tymon on the patio of a North Yorkshire (UK) hotel, leaving him with a bloodied, swollen lip. It was severe enough that the producer sought medical treatment. During and after the attack, Clarkson shouted expletives at Tymon and threatened to fire him. The noise carried into the hotel's dining room and even to a bedroom. Local police investigated the incident, but Tymon isn't pressing charges. The huge audience numbers, Clarkson's popularity and the high-octane excitement of Top Gear all melted away in the eyes of BBC director-general Tony Hall, who saw an attacker and a victim. "For me a line has been crossed," he said in a statement. "There cannot be one rule for one and one rule for another dictated by either rank, or public relations and commercial considerations." In that moment, Clarkson was the bad guy, though he was actually the one who reported it to the network and made repeated attempts to apologize to Tymon. He's also urged the media to leave the producer alone. Hall voiced regret in the statement that announced Clarkson's contract would not be renewed, but the BBC decided to move on. Rumors are swirling about possible replacements for Clarkson. The network says it wants to continue Top Gear in 2016 and is looking to air the rest of this season's episodes. Despite the controversy, the show has a global audience of 350 million viewers and is one of the BBC's most valuable properties. It's unclear what Clarkson's co-hosts, James May and Richard Hammond, will do, as their contracts were also reportedly up to be renewed.

2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year entries announced
Wed, Jul 6 2016Over 40 vehicles will compete for the 2017 North American Car, Truck, and Utility of the Year awards. If that name looks a little strange, it's because the competition added a third category. In years past, pickup trucks, crossovers, SUVs, commercial vans, and minivans competed for the same award. That's why there were occasionally weird comparisons, like last year's competition between the Volvo XC90 and Nissan Titan XD. The new format separates pickups and commercial vans into the truck contest and CUVs, SUVs, and minivans into the utility competition. A complete list of eligible vehicles is below, but here are a few highlights. For one, the entire list of entries has a luxurious lean. Of the 43 vehicles, nearly half of them are from premium brands. There are two eligible Bentleys – the Bentayga and Mulsanne – the Rolls-Royce Dawn, Jaguar F-Pace, Audi Q7, and the Mercedes-Benz GLS-, E-, and S-Class Maybach. The performance ranks are lofty, too, with the Audi R8, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Mercedes SL- and SLC-Class, Porsche 718, and F-150 Raptor. The mainstream entries are just as comprehensive. From the Chrysler Pacifica to the Chevrolet Cruze to the Fiat 124 Spider to the Mitsubishi Mirage, NACTOY has covered an enormous price range with this year's contestants. Of course, these are only the eligible vehicles. They'll need to run through three rounds of judging, starting in September at NACTOY's traditional Hell, MI, test drive. The Canadian and American journalists involved in the judging will announce this year's nine finalists – three in each category – on December 6.

Should heavy-duty pickup trucks have window stickers with fuel mileage estimates?
Sat, Sep 23 2017If you were to stroll into your nearest Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Nissan, or Ram dealership, you'd find a bunch of pickup trucks. Most of those would have proper window stickers labeled with things like base prices, options prices, location of manufacture, and, crucially, fuel economy estimates. But you'd also run across a number of heavy-duty trucks with no such fuel mileage data from the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA doesn't require automakers to publish the valuable miles-per-gallon measurement for vehicles with gross weight ratings that exceed 8,500 pounds. That makes it difficult for consumers to compare behemoths powered by turbocharged diesel engines – between one another, and between smaller, gasoline-fueled trucks. Consumer Reports doesn't think it should be this way, and it's spearheading an effort (PDF link) to get the government to require manufacturers to publish fuel economy estimates. In its own testing, CR found that heavy-duty pickups powered by Ford's Power Stroke, GM's Duramax, and FCA's Cummins diesel engines (which doesn't include the Ram's EcoDiesel) get worse fuel mileage than their lighter-duty gas-powered siblings. We're not so sure HD-truck buyers are unaware of this fact – big diesels don't really come into their own until big loads are placed in their beds or attached to their trailer hitches. Under heavy workloads, the diesel trucks will almost certainly return greater efficiency than a similar gas-powered truck. What's more, HD trucks with lumbering diesels in general make the driver feel more confident while towing due to greater torque at low engine RPM than gas trucks. They also offer greater max-weight limits. Still, we agree EPA fuel mileage estimates should be offered for heavy-duty pickups. And we think the comparisons provided by Consumer Reports might be interesting to potential buyers. Click here to see the results of CR's tests, and let us know what you think using the poll below.
