My truck is a 2002 silverado 5.3L / 4L60e that I bought in 2005. The factory color was two-tone green/champagne, but I had it repainted monochrome green a few months ago. It's riding on SS 20's, originally chrome, now painted silver and wrapped in 275/55R20 tires. I lowered it 1.5"/4" using Ground Force coils up front and 2" drop leafs + 2" shackles in the rear.
Back around 2007 I built a DIY rear mount turbo system for it using a Turbonetics 62-1 making around 8-9 lbs of boost, but later in 2011 I removed the turbo system and returned it to NA while I worked in DC. Now that I'm back in FL I'm getting ready to re-install the turbo when the trick hot side I ordered shows up. The truck is my daily driver so I will have to do the turbo install incrementally, and will post more as I work on it.
This is the truck when it was two-tone, only lowered 2" in the rear, and had the rear-mount....

Around 2012 I played with the idea of calling it "Category 5.3" (think hurricane category), so i designed some vinyl decals and this is what it looked like...

A couple years later I changed the design to "Category X" and here is what it looks like now....
