Angry eyes suburban?
Ok, I'm at work, and about an hour ago, I look out the window and saw something I never thought existed: a burb with the 03+ silverado front clip. It was also a 2500 Quadrasteer model. I talked with the owner for a minute -- his wife was inside shopping -- and he said it came off the line with the angry eyes frontend. Has anybody else ever seen one of these? I wanted to take a pic, but it would have been awkward with the guy sitting there.

Re: Angry eyes suburban?
Never seen one, its pretty rare or someone put a different front clip on it, which would be my guess.

Re: Angry eyes suburban?
The suburbans and tahoes sold in Mexico (and probably other places) got the silverado nose change in 03 with the trucks. Could be from Mexico and someone brought it across the border?

Re: Angry eyes suburban?
Three-quarter tons were available briefly with a four-wheel steering system. Decreased parking lot turn radius drastically. It made for some ugly rear fender flares on trucks -- looks like dually fenders, but with single wheels. But it didn't look half bad on the burbs.
Jesse, I didn't know that about the Mexican burbs. That could be where it came from, although I'm sure it's not too cheap to import a mex-spec truck.

Re: Angry eyes suburban?
Welp, I almost died for this thread.
I'm pulling out of Kroger (Texas grocery store) and I see it. My eye balls about fell out of my face after I did a double take. I immediately quoted the title of this thread in my head, having read it months ago... "ANGRY EYES BURB" I caught a light next to it immediately, and attempted to get their attention. Nothing. I roll up, say "**** it", and snap a picture. That's when the window rolls down. I put the d-max in reverse and back up to just say what's up. Immediately greeted with hostility by three super tattooed vatos. "You take a peecture or sometheeng?" "Oh yea man, I've just never seen a suburban with this front end, it's kinda.." (interrupted) "It ain't your front end!" "Alright man, It's not a big deal" Took a right on red, and rolled home. So, here it is.

Nice -- that's dedication right there! Glad you didn't get shot The one I saw must have come from south of the border.

Re: Angry eyes suburban?
There is a shop locally that put one of those fronts on a Suburban. The work is a little better than that Tahoe, but it isn't my taste. My wife and I went to Mexico earlier this year, and saw quite a few of them. The ones down there all seem to have the check engine light on too.
