Well, pulled the trigger this weekend on the new truck. Traded-in the GMC after some demodding. Here she is, completely stock cept for the air filter. Let me hear it.

 

wow dude looks good. first 2wd z71 ive seen so far. does it just sit as high as a 4wd or is like a offroad 2wd package? id get that front end up a lil and put some 33s on that bad boy

 

Not going to actually do too much to this one. Exterior will stay pretty much left alone, maybe eventually level the front out. Windows need to be tinted and bedliner sprayed. I have to decide on an exhaust system, it actually sounds pretty good stock, louder than most I've heard, but still. And I am trying to decide on an intake. The air aid tube I had on the other one won't work and they don't have one yet for this one. I hate to spend a ton of $$$$ on an intake though. Wheatley should be getting his hands on it maybe this weekend for some tuning. Also want to add a trailer hitch and transmission cooler, but that will be a little while.

 

It actually sits up higher than my fiances 06 Z71 ECSB. I think they sit a bit higher than the reg 2WD package, but not much. Its kinda like the Pre-runner package that toyota has with the tacomas. Only thing that it doesn't have that the 4x4 Z71 has is the front diff and transfer case.

 

the truck looks nice i would say since it aint a 4x4 drop it...

 

No drop for sure. I have to use this truck with work in mind visiting jobsites. That was one of the reasons I wanted to get rid of my previous truck. I had to park on the road and walk to the jobsites.

Besides if I was going to drop one, I could have gone without the Z71 option and saved myself about 600 bucks.

 

i think that defeats the purpose of gettin a 2wd Z71

not that you cant drop a Z71 trever1t lol

 

Nice truck.

The Z71's just come with a bit taller tire than the standard 2wd trucks, this makes them sit a bit higher, but not much.

 

Yeah, I knew it wasn't much higher, but it does come with the z71 shocks and absorbers that I don't think the reg ones do. Plus it has the skid plates and all and includes the G80 in the package. Its not much, but I wanted the taller tires on it and didn't want to have to go out first thing and buy new tires for it.

 

Congrads on the new purchase. Looks good, nice color!
