bassmaster Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) hey all, i currently have an 00' sierra ecsb, and have been in the market for a 03-07c ccsb 4x4 5.3 and a bunch of other specifics since April. never really found THE deal i wanted on THE truck i was looking for. but last week i seen a 05 AWD SS with 88k and max loaded listed for 9k, so i figured what the hell, lets see what its like. gave a call, met him a few days later, now just took the 2.5hr drive again this morning to pick er and bring er home! i wasnt looking for an SS at all, but i couldnt resist the deal (mainly because i was gonna have to be spending 13k+ on ccsb, so i loved the instant savings here loll). my plans for the ccsb were to level, 33 muds, 20x10s, and lotss of little goodies. i had everyything planned out on what i was gonna do. well, now i find myself in an SS. this 'street' type scene is a whole new world for me, so im looking forward to figuring it out im pretty active over on CustomGM.com with the awesome guys over there, so i know a few things about GM trucks (new to SS's though). plans here are: clear heads/markers polished bowtie 20% tint on fronts (maybe 50% shield later on) roll on bed liner roll up bed cover CREE reverse bulbs 06 front end conversion (either stock hood or reflexxion cowl) eventually billet antenna (probably black) interior: LED convert Double din nav unit performance: airraid jr intake tube aeroturbine 3030xl muffer planned on exhaust dump with ccsb, not sure how that'd look with street style blackbear tune and thats all i thought of in a few days loll! REAL excited to have a quick, sharp looking DD Edited February 8, 2013 by bassmaster (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTMD8R_SS Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Good buy! 9k for an 05 w/88k miles is a hell of a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downeast Johnny Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Welcome Greg. Congrats on finding your truck and the good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassmaster Posted February 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 That's what I'm saying! Lol minor minor issues with it. Speedo needs new stepper motor, new alternator (gonna want to upgrade while I'm at it), and the abs pump constantly runs because a MOSFET transistor shorted out, and had two dents on the pass side bed rail. We could fix it all for less than 600 probably and still make out with a good deal imo sent from your HTC Rezound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnss Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Nice. sound like a great deal to me. Im just glad that on your mod lists you dont have a lift kit going on the SSS. There are a few lifted SS running around and if the driver of the truck post on here he gets stoned to death Bahahahaha its a street truck. post up some pictures once you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
