SEC is in such a lose lose situation now. They play teams that have nothing to lose and win they beat the crap out of them, its to be expected..... but when they choke because they are still recouping from a real game with another SEC team the week before and looking ahead to the next great team the are deemed "overrated". Of course Oregon could put points up on BAMA but you better believe by the time they get a chance to play them BAMA will be at the end of their season and all the kinks will be worked out plus they will have that ridiculous amount of time for Saban to game plan the heck out of them. Oregon is a great team and the MAY just beat an SEC team this time around but they are number 2 and not number 1 for a reason. Last time they made it to the championship the got beat by an SEC team in Auburn... ok so lets play a team at the beginning of a season before they get the kinks worked out.... um LSU a year or two ago anyone? they got beat again! And so they beat Tennessee, southern Alabama almost did to ha. All that being said, Oregon is a GREAT team and I don't know why everyone cries about rankings so early in the season... all you got to do is win your games and it WILL work out. I mean the last team to arguable get royally screwed was actually an SEC team in Auburn back when they had Cadillac Williams and went undefeated but didn't get to play in the championship because it was before all this SEC hype. Anyone can win on any day, just do your part and play your games and Oregon or whoever will get their shot if they don't blow it like they have the last couple years since they faced Auburn. BCS isn't perfect by any means, but someone will always have to be the one to get disappointed and right now the SEC has earned the right to get the benefit of the doubt in a tie breaker.

TONS of good procharger info on here! I've already asked all the dumb questions so you don't have to just look up my past topics, etc and you will find a boat load of good info! Good luck with the build man!

Best clone I've ever seen. Could have fooled me, and I usually have a good eye for that. Except when the doors open that is not very SS at all, but also the tailgate has the standard top on it so from behind it I may have been a little more of an unbeliever. I can't believe someone would strip the interior but I also have a hard time believing that they made a perfect clone but forgot the tailgate. We may never now, I didn't look that hard so I'm sure someone will better dissect it in a second.

With all that T-shirt and hoodie money you just received, I figured you'd be rolling around with a new set of Brembos. ha kidding of course

How has this beast not been featured in a magazine!?!?! Sweet ride, maybe it has been featured and I missed it.

Yup I'm picking one up. I was gonna buy one this year but now I'm glad I couldn't decide cause I really want that new interior and the exterior looks great maybe even better as well. Good stuff! I love me some GM trucks, and cars for that matter!

Awesome! What engine are you going with? Are you a pilot? Flying is my job, hobby, and some would even say my lifestyle! Good choice makin it a taildragger, thats way more fun if you are doing it for pure entertainment purposes! Good luck, wish you could have kept the SS as well but hey a plane is good too!

Roll Tide!

That is one sweet tool box! It even has big shinny rims... what are those? 2.2s? haha

I have a new one, you will miss the 6.0L. For the record though, I do have 35s on it so that greatly effects mine. Interstate driving BLOWS!!! that isnt why i bought it though, and i love it!

I have my SS and a four door Rubicon... jeep is sweet and I guess in comparison to the truck it is "roomy" so you will enjoy it! But I can promise you, you will miss that Vortec Max, especially if you drive on the interstate a lot or pull any kind of trailer, and I mean ANY trailer. I usually pull with the SS but wanted to take my jeep to Arizona with me to play in the desert and also wanted to take my crotch rocket... my trailer is small and light and the bike isnt heavy either but man was that trip a pain in the @$$! Love the jeep, it is my DD but man i really wish i had the time to put a supercharger or do an LS swap cause it has no balls, none at all. On the flip side i bought it for off road and in four low there is way more power with my rubi 4.10s and 4:1 transfer case than I could ever need! So depending on what you do with it, you will truly LOVE the jeep!!!

Yeah that is kickaSS man! How was that done? Is it decals or some kinda dip/paint? I want to do a black carbon fiber look on my fuse box and other plastic pieces... my engine covers and black with blue flames, bought them form Dentguy when he sold his truck. Picture is to big to attach :/

Deer cameras boys! Put you a Deer/animal camera that snaps their dang picture to just in case they do make off with it! Maybe put it in a hard to reach place and leave the flash on to spook them or turn the flash off so they dont see it and try to bust it to! This, of course, in addition to other security elements.

Understood, thanks for the input. To truly know the truth to what I'm asking I would need dyno results for the truck with the SAME size pulley on the two different TBs. May only read 8lbs of boost with a larger TB but getting the same power as 12lbs on the stock size simply because the supercharger is forcing the same air into a smaller place, I believe i said this correct. I'll never stop modding the truck so I'm gonna buy the larger TB haha. In all honesty I just wanna keep my sweet engine covers since they are painted haha and changing to the larger intake on top, I think, will remove the location that it bolts on to the motor! Oh well, the aftermarket FAST intakes look sick anyway!!! Plus, I can sell the cover for the intake money, woohoo!!!

Naw it was a C6 but man that is one sweet C5, I'd love to have one just like that... great lookin ride. I always loved the mesh in the lover grilles, that loves sick.

Exactly, so keep it and maybe we will let you hang around

Great photo, I love when everyone in the family knows how to buy a truck and how to properly organize them on the beach ha!

I almost let mine go, couldn't follow through with it a luckily things have been really going my way and I can afford to let it sit around as a play toy now. BEST IDEA EVER! This thing really is a "part" of me, and a big part at that. These SSS trucks are really something, I mean I surf the web from time to time and never see people as attached to vehicles as a lot of us are to these trucks. Can not describe it but anyways it all comes down to the individual.... if you can afford to keep it, you will be happy... and if you sell it then I'm sure you will be fine to, I just couldn't.

HAHAHA, nice

haha yup thats pretty much how i roll as well

ha yup this was a much smarter and shorter way of saying what i was trying to say

First off man, sorry to hear about your bad luck. Those tires are pretty heavy and since your truck is lowered the weight could have put pressure on the truck that it wasnt designed to take and with it being lowered and all it could have transferred to the drive shaft. I dont know if that makes any sense but I see the same thing with lifted trucks all the time... people life and lower vehicles which looks awesome and I love it but I havent dropped my SS yet because the factory height is where GM tested all the parts and angles so I'm afraid the drivetrain isnt designed to move at the angles droppin or raising it would put it at. That being sad Im gonna lower the keys and maybe some shackles in the rear. However, sitting as low as your and lookin that sweet I'm thinkin damages drivetrain. Any of you Pros have any thoughts on how lowering trucks effect the drivetrain?

Yeah i love the silver and blue, thats why i put silver stripes on my truck ha but my vinyl stripes had a lot of metallic in them to shine and the damn things ruined the paint under neath from getting so hot, last time i took them off to replace them the paint under neath looked like leopard skin... it was nuts but this time im gonna paint them on and i think ill throw some of these decals on unless i can connivence myself i can paint that haha... anyway the biggest mistake i probably made was not protecting the vinyl so im thinking ill do these decals same time as my stripes and clear coat them in! idk
