    2000 Ext Cab Silverado Z71 - New to me expedition vehicle

    Updates: I installed some 285-70-17 Falken Rocky Mountains ( exact same as the falken wild peak, but named different when purchased from Discount tire) tires and gave my maxxis big horn 315's to my brother. The maxxis tires looked great, but 11mpg for a daily driver was not cutting it. The new...

    Thanks for mentioning the hi-beam low beam mod. I was able to do this by grounding out the yellow wire coming off the drivers side headlight. I have not figured out an easy way to even hook up the factory fog lights, using the factory switch.

    Thanks for the comments. The handheld is great. I brag about it to anyone that asks. I actually broke the car adapter today when it fell under my seat and i scooted the seat forward. Do you have a adapter you can send for a trade off of some nice, high quality pics of it installed?

    The SUV's have dual piston rear calipers, I believe. Also the 05' + have a large front brake setup but you must ahve a 17" wheel. The SUV brake upgrade is on my list. Google search " Silverado rear suv brakes" and "silverado budget brake ." Id post the link to the other site, but being that it...

    Vanilla: 2005 Chevy Silverado 1500 build.

    Nice progression on your build - we have similar taste in vehicles. I have a 00' white ext cab silverado that I have began to modify for overlanding trips. Check out my build thread.

    Any experience with Bestop Supertop for trucks?

    I have the bestop super topper. I was able to pick it up very cheap from mechanics warehouse.com. I live in the texas panhandle so the wind is always bad and the only thing that flaps is the buckles that hold the top down when you fold it down. Pics...

    Looking for a new truck, considering Avalanche

    Buy the 2500--Transmission and engine are better. Worse MPG, but the 4L80E and 6.0 will last.

    2000 Ext Cab Silverado Z71 - New to me expedition vehicle

    Thanks! With the torsion key lift, I think they sure do help. Tires are a 305-70-17. Yes on the 1.5" zone body lift -- pretty easy to install. My tahoe had a 3" which I liked when I needed to work on it, but hated the appearance from the side. I like how this body lift is very subtle. The...
