Picked up a DD

[silverbullit]

I know it isn't great on gas but who gives a shit. I have always wanted one of these trucks, rides great!

2004 Silverado 1500 Z71

Nice! I have a 98 Z71 as my DD. Only gets 14mph but whatever..130,XXX miles still running STRONG.

Very nice, my old roommate had a truck like that. Very nice and comfortable.

Nice truck! I had a 99 Silvy and an 06 SS Silvy.

Time to mod!!! Some appearance mods I liked were to remove the side door protectors and get color matched door handles/side view mirrors. Really cleaned up the look of the truck...but mine was 2wd so you may be looking for a different look. Here is a couple of pics for reference of the 99:

Nice looking truck, and it should make a great daily driver. A useful daily driver. :beer:

Thanks, nice SS. Where did you get those colored matched items at? Or did you just have them painted?

Nice ride man. Now you have something to haul your car.

Well...that 99 was a wannabe SS (they didn't produce one back then...). A ton of work went into that truck. I think I got some of the stuff off of Ebay and I just did a search for whatever I was looking for on the internet and usually found alot of vendors.

For some more ideas...and because I'm a pic whore....here are some pics of my real SS--a Magnacharged 06. A guy from England bought it and sent it back on a boat!

The Denali wood steering wheel looks crappy in the pics, but looked great in person!

Don't do this to your truck (add a blower). The blower killed 3 trannies (at last count) and the last two were built for abuse!? Also caused parts to start breaking with the AWD system. It was fun though!!

That is a sweet truck man. Def not looking to throw a blower on it, this one is supposed to be the "dd" and the wife :nono: would kill me. Thanks for the info and pics. :beer:

def do. its been a great truck so far, good power, nice towing capabilities for a 1500, and very comfortable.

my gf wants me to get them too, and im at stock height still. lol

have fun with the truck man, and btw i love that color. i got a dark blue one but i was searching for a lighter blue one for months with the right mileage/condition for the best price, till i found my dark one. I bought mine for 15K with a 3 year extended warranty and 20,056 on the clock.

 

[fiveohpoepoe]

Stock height? Looks like at least 3 " suspension.

 

[CobraBob]

I like the dash by the way. Doesn't have a "truck" appearance.

Nice looking truck, looks like it may have an inch lift? Maybe its just the pictures. You can buy alot of color matched accessories through GM Dealers with your paint code.
