Default My New Ride..........NNBS VMax

I just Picked up this VMax. The previous owner kept it in super great shape. Always GM serviced. He just put a whole new GM front end on at the dealer for $2000. Just bought New KMC 22" wheels with Parada X tires, ($2800), New side steps($500) and put a color matched ARE Hard Top cover($1100).All this was done 1 month ago and it only received 600 miles. My previous truck was a NNBS 07 Procharged Sierra Denali but I love this truck more. The only thing I miss is the 6 speed 6L80e trans. But I already have a 6L80e that I'm looking to swap into this truck very soon. After that its getting a Trick Intercooled Turbo system. Here are some Pics and let me know what you guys think.

I have the same exact interior as my Denali had with the only 3 things differents being that the Silverado does not have the center channel on the dash pad, the door panels dont have the leather stiching and it does not have the heated steering wheel(which I never used anyway). All **** that I never cared about. Both trucks were loaded Leather and with Nav&DVD . What I disliked about the Denali was the constant AWD. Why the hell do I need to propel 4 wheels all the time. I'm perfectly fine with selectable 4wd. 2wd 98% of the time and 4wd for the 5 times a year that I get snow in CT. Now the only thing I have to find is some 3.08's to really get some great gas mileage when I do the 6L80e and turbo.

VMax or NHT have proven a clever workaround to bypass the Denali stigma. :razz:

Are you planning to keep or eliminate DOD?
