Hook up the truck or get somethin sporty?

ive been thinkin about this for awhile now. my truck is kind of dull, im lookin to spice it up a bit. on the other hand ive been lookin into leasin somethin sporty on the side (test drove a vette and G35C) i cant do both. so its either a nice set of rims, and navi system and some subs in the truck or get a little toy for the summer? damn im torn....

His lift is extremely excessive, but it looks killer, truck is f'ing HUGE!!! and I big trucks are a dime a dozen out here, this thing stands out like no other.

it's common, i've had a couple friends flip brand new trucks.



The truck i'm tlaking about was done for publicity by his sponsor

If you click on garage, then the chevy emblem, you'll see the race truck he's building. Should be done for next years season.

found out the law is that the bumper has to be 30" from the ground, so definately can't lift it like back home. I bet you could make a custom skid plate and consider that a bumper though

the S2K is wayyyy to small for me... im like 6'2, 310.....the G35c isnt roomy, the vette wasnt that bad as far as room goes but its expensive. and the interior still looks like it came from a 98 camaro V6. there arent a whole lot of options when u get down to coupes... i think pimpin out a truck would be hot.. sittin on 23's with a truck full of h0's... then on the other hand.....

that shit is far from redneck offroading. I don't see rednecks taking jumps and hitting bowls at 80 mph


That shit ain't for rock climbing
