87sheerips Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 hey all, looks like a great site here! I am picking up a 2003 AWD SS tomorrow and i am pumped up. I have a 1994 2WD Silverado that I have been building for years (owned since 1998) and I am buying this SS for a great all year vehicle. I have plans to drive it quite a bit, thru winter and all that good stuff. This truck comes with a set of A/T's mounted on different rims so it should do well. I am also hoping to get into the dunes just to move my drag bike around, do u see me having any problems with that? I have been a part of BansheeHQ.com for years and have a great reputation there and I am also a site sponsor. Check out my site below, if there is enough interest for me to begin making custom fabbed parts the the SSS community maybe I can sponsor here soon as well! Anyways, here is my SS to be and my 94 Silverado! Look forward to meeting you guys and leaning from this forum. 2003 AWD SS, picking up tomorrow. Its in great shape, once I drove it I had to have it lol. 1994 Silverado. Built 357 Chevy (I did myself 2 years ago) I will post details later. 4.10 gears and a built 700R4. I love this truck and drive it daily. This was in 2001, I was 17yrs old. Truck got stolen and i lost the 20's but the truck was found... I then built a strong motor and kept the stock rims (which i love) its more of a hot rod look now. Today: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want this truck to last me and stay mint. Nice ride. Good to see more Michigan SSS's coming around. Part of me misses that state. For sure, I love Michigan and will never leave. Welcome to the site, looks like a nice truck! Thanks man, I'm pretty excited I went the SS route rather than a Z71. It will do everything I need it to and be a lot more fun that the regular silverado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICE EATER Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 to answer your question about if u can make it around....YES with out a dought....air down your tires to like 10psi in the front and 8psi in the rear..and u will pretty much be able to go anywhere you want on the dunes... i dont see any reason u cant make it up test hill even.. manual down shift in to first right as u get to the start of the hill... and pinn it..and u should make it up no problem...i take my work truck up there alot...its a ford..im sad to say..but i can get around most anywhere in 2wd with just the help of some 31in mtz tires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
