New Joe Gibbs Silverado owner San Francisco Bay Area, California
So I was in the market for a JGP Tahoe for a while, but just so rare and tough to find one for sale that met my tough standards.
Went for the Silverado instead, since I decided a 5 speed manual would more adequately feed my mid-life crisis, and since it's easier to justify spending a lot of money on a toy if I can "sell" it to the wife by saying I'll use the truck to transport the antiques and grandbaby toys she finds for sale and bring them home in. (Hey....it's a win-win !)
More pics to come

No, Amazi.....this one has the 4.8 manual 5 speed standard Vortec. I won't be adding a Magnuson to it....300whp is enough for this sled.

matslp488 - No, I didn't do that. The previous owner removed them when he had the paint buffed out. He didn't reattach them since he thought they would get stolen, since that bozo online is trying to get $600+ for each one. I do have the original three, and might use a magnet to attach them if I was babysitting the truck at a future car show....can't afford to lose them, and wouldn't want to drive around with them attached by magnet, in fear they'd fall off.
