1998 Chevy Silverado 4x4
Vortec 305
Manual shift Tcase
3.73 Gears
Front/Rear Lockers
Tow Package w/ HD Trans Cooler and Tekonsha Voyager

Ive been looking for a good truck that will get me around in the winter since the new job has me traveling in the mountains a lot. Finally found this 1 owner truck bought here in NC from Randy Marion in 97, All service has been kept up with and done by the dealer since it was purchased. Was finally glad to find something that wasnt beat on by some teenager or with loud ass flowmasters. Drives really well and is a solid truck. Its the new DD and toy hauler. Not planning on building a rig to pull behind it because of the 305, but it will haul the 4wheelers around no problem and get me around in the winter up here. Not going to mod this one like crazy, just some stuff to keep it looking good and be functional. (Famous last words)

To Do:
20%Tint on the front windows
Torsion Bar Keys
Add A Leaf
Shocks
285/75/16 Nitto Terra Grapplers
HID's
Hella 500's on the front
Shadowline all the chrome trim on the wheelwells etc
Black out the Grille
 
Don't bother with new torsion bar keys, just turn them up a little. As far as not being a tow rig......it will pull ten times better than your lifted 4runner did, and a lot safer!:flipoff2:
 
leave it alone.......dont' be a tbar cranked...loud piped teenager wanna be. Keep it peepaw style and it will last a lot longer.

Not getting loud pipes...stock exhaust til it falls off then it will go back to stock. Was getting tired of the rowdy straight pipes on the M3. It will get tbar crank and some 285's...ive always thought the stock size tires looked kinda goofy on these trucks.
 
Sideways flat bill hat and a huge tap out sticker. I see them in the near future for stretch.
 
sorry to burst your bubble but that dont have a front locker. they dont make one for the aluminum case 8.25 ifs.
but regardless its still a chevy it looks good:beer:

Wish I would have had the cash to get it from you. That thing was nice. and it freakin worked.

How she sits now...got the front windows tinted today and painted the grille emblem black since I am not a fan of the gold, mounted the hella 500's up front this weekend. Can't help but leave the stereotypical "3" plate that came on the truck :lol:
