Pro Touring Trucks
This forum has a **** load of bad *** performance trucks but lets face it, the majority are straight line based trucks..
Wanted to get a thread going for the ones looking for more than straight lines, the corner carvers and dime stoppers and what not.
Post up what you've got, what you're building, what you want to build or anything pro touring truck related..

I've never seen anything like these rims. U don't really notice in the 1st pic how minimalist they are, til u look at the other pics I quoted, then go back & say, wow, kinda subtle. At 1st glance, I thought they were some Black & silver 3/4 ton 8 lug rims. I do see some high end shocks too.
I'm gonna come back to this thread tomorrow & check it out. This type of truck is what I'm after. Versatile. More on that later.

I read in popular hot rodding, during their pro touring muscle car of the year competition, they let a truck in. It was from The Roadster Shop. Their entry (car wise) backed out. So the ran their shop truck as exhibition. If its times counted, it woulda won!

FINALLY ,This the thread I have been waiting for!
My Daily is a 1998 2 door 2 wheel drive Tahoe that we built to compete in auto cross and Optima style events. I purposly built it to look like its just a cruiser its even got a big stereo
Here's a basic run down of what been done
The front suspension has Ride Tech Triple adjustable coil overs the upper and lower control arms are Chopin Block but they are built for the coil overs .I also run Baer Traks to help coorect the bump steer, Bell tech built the 1 3/8 inch front sway bar and the brakes are Baer 15 inch rotors and 6S 6 piston calipers
The rear suspension Has a cantelevered set of Ride Tech triple adjustable coil overs ,A custom built splinned rear sway bar ,Adjustable panhard bar and C10 truck arms built by Early Classics .Narrowed (6 inches) 10 bolt rear end with an eaton ,Torino flanges ,ford axles splinned to fit the carrier and ford bearings.The brakes are Baer 6S 6 piston calipers and 14 inch rotors The drive shaft is a custom built Aluminum shaft by Dynotech
Old coil over location but you can see the truck arms
New set up works great
Mini Tubbed
The motor is set back 1 1/2 inches to help with the weight distribution.
Its an LQ9 ,forged internals, ARP studs and bolts every where we could use them all the way down to the balancer bolt , Fluid Dampnr Balancer .West Coast Racing heads Stage 2 L92 heads ,manley valves. Custom Ground Comp Cam, Fully polished 2.9 liter Whipple Super Charger, Injector Dynamics ID 1000 flow matched injectors ,Noonan Racing Billet CnC'd valve covers and coil pack covers ,Maradyne E fans,
fuel system is all Aeromotive front to back with 1 Stealth 340 in the tank and aluminum fuel cell built by chopin block
Trans is a built 4l80 with a 2600 stall Edge racing converter low stall so i keep some engine braking hd2 shift kit and a b&m floor shifter
The seats are now leather to match the center console and the seat belts are now Simpson platinum 6 point harnesses
Wheels are one off Colorado Customs and the tires are Nitto NT05's 200 tread ware 275 35 20 front and 315 35 20 rear
