fresh pics of my truck

well, its no diesel.... its not even an HD, but it is a GM, and its mine so I'm proud of what I have. What do you guys think of it?














Here is what you are looking at:

2006 Silverado 1500 4x4 LT, extended cab, short box (5'10"), silver birch metallic, 5.3L
-OEM LTZ Avalanche 20" wheels
-Z71 fender flares in textured black
-Front windows tinted 20%
-Entire windshield tinted 45% carbon tint
-AVS vent visors on front doors
-GoRhino light rack
-Code3 PSE LP6000 emergency lightbar
-Recon white lightning LED lightbar under tailgate (yes it turns white in reverse)
-GM chrome side steps
-Wilson 1000 magnetic CB radio antenna
-OEM taillights custom painted translucent black

Here is a list of things done that you cannot see:

-HID conversion kit in 4300K
-Homemade straight pipe exhaust from the cat-back (no muffler or silencer of any kind)
-HPTuners custom reflash
-K&N drop in filter
-160º thermostat
-Tekonsha brake controller
-Cobra 29 LTD Nightwatcher CB radio
-Custom made under-dash toggle switch mounts (laser cut the form, had a 60º brake put in it, then powdercoated black)

I think thats about it. In the future I would like to have a small lift, 3-4", and long tube headers with a catless y-pipe. I would also like to get a Line-X liner. What do you guys think?

The truck is pretty dirty. I see a spot of dirt next to the valve stem on the right front wheel.

Nice truck.

last year and off and on this year I was escorting semi trucks with oversized loads. I've had the lightbar on there since september of 2006 so to me the truck would look weird without it.

pretty good. Anywhere from $1.00 to $2.00 per mile depending upon what company you work for and contract agreements....etc
