I agree with most of the posts about being lowered and wouldn't mind at all if it was mine, and yep tint shop could afford to tint those windows especially in the Texas heat.

That's pretty sweet.......!

dubdeuce80 · 09-11-2008, 01:59 PM

there is just something about an otherwise bone stock vehicle with rims laying on the ground that does it for me. i think adding tint would ruin the overall look

I like the wheels, I am not into the body drop thing, I would be just happy with a 4' 6' drop on it....if it was mine
thanks for posting the picts...

Wish it were parked in my drive. Thanks for the pics.

cruiserman · 09-11-2008, 10:28 PM

That's just sad. I don't get the lowered/dropped look, especially on a truck.

Its probably just "one of those things" You know a plumbers pipes leak, a roofers roof needs fixed, body mans truck is rusty and dented ect.

Me likey likey!!

I think its funny...about the suspension. With airbags...you can have a stock loooking ride height..and people will say one thing, then you air it out and everything changes. AIR BAGS are the best of both worlds!

NWD02 · 09-11-2008, 11:15 PM

That's sweet. What part of Texas did you take the pictures?

I think some trucks can pull it off, and some can't. But this burb DOES!

jholley · 09-12-2008, 08:42 AM

I took the pics in Hewitt, TX. South end of Waco.

jb4short · 09-12-2008, 11:13 AM

Nice! I think dropped Suburbans are great.

Jim- you gotta stop looking and start putting yours together or you'll wind up with a fleet of "Projects"

Sinisterspeed · 09-13-2008, 11:55 PM

Looks sweet to me. Personally I love the 4x4s but I am about fed up with them I have 3 of em right now and I am dying to get something set up just like that.

jholley · 09-14-2008, 10:44 AM

I am working on my truck Jon. Here is a pic to prove it. One each Tri-Pro backing plate and cab corner installed (almost)

WOW! That looks great. Was the cab corner worse than you thought? How's the rest looking?

R/

jholley · 09-14-2008, 01:19 PM

Yeah Rob, I decided to go ahead and change out the corner because of the hole and I'm glad I did. The vertical part of the floor panel that covers up the cab support was rusted through also. When I cut out the rust to patch it the cab support was completely filled with muddy clay, I mean packed in there so tight you could make a brick out of it. The rest looks pretty good though. I'm going to change that passenger side kick panel and of course the outer rockers but I think thats about it.
I'm wondering how to check the other side support to see if it's full of mud too.
