How's this for a clean high rider? I like 'em low myself, but this was too clean. not sure abou that lime green though. Oh well. It's still nicer than mine for now!!

79BIG10 · 01-20-2003, 04:26 AM

Nice to see a clean one like that

85Silverado · 01-20-2003, 10:08 AM

That's very clean....I like it! But if it's that clean chances are he or she doesn't do any "real" off-roading with it cause it's pretty unavoidable to get out without some scratches and dings..hehe

BigRed · 01-20-2003, 10:09 AM

Nice! I'll add it to my collection.

Myride · 01-20-2003, 12:50 PM

nice

LOHRTBT · 01-20-2003, 01:23 PM

Very nice indeed!! Would love to own that.... Some day I want to have a ride on the ground....in the air and a fast as hell ride!

c10scotty · 01-20-2003, 04:14 PM

man that thing is awesome...i doubt it ever even sees a dirt road though.

PHOENIX · 01-20-2003, 04:24 PM

I dont really like the color, but man does it make that body look good. I like that truck alot, Top Notch!

*1FaastC10* · 01-20-2003, 05:53 PM

and yet another clean truck in the pic too...

79Silv4x4 · 01-20-2003, 08:52 PM

Too much chrome underneath to off-road that thing--I like it though.

Capitol68 · 01-20-2003, 08:54 PM

im going to ask a dumb question. hope i dont get burned too bad. How does one climb aboard something like that? carry a 3' ladder or a drop down ladder ? Dont get me wrong, I like them slightly up myself. But if the rocker is at my chest ?

**swervin ervin** · 01-20-2003, 08:59 PM

Capitol,

I agree. What's the use in it? I know it's for show only and probably never even sees asphalt, but come on. I'm like you, what happens, does a elevator come down to pick you up when the door opens?

Speaking of doors. I see they shaved the door handles. Nice touch, especially since you couldn't reach them anyway.

Prerunner1982 · 01-20-2003, 09:13 PM

79silv is dead on... too much chrome..no off road..

now the one next to it.. probably sees a bit a dirt....

Ric83 · 01-21-2003, 01:21 AM

Both of those look really sweet.

PHOENIX · 01-21-2003, 12:46 PM

Yes Mike an elevator does come down. Most of these high dollar big trucks have automatic retracting ladders that fold and un fold from under the truck. They are really pretty sweet when you check them out.

arveetek · 01-21-2003, 02:16 PM

What kind of grille is that on the green one? It looks like an '88 + model, but not the Suburban style.

79Shortbox · 01-22-2003, 02:01 AM

I have asked this question about a million times to my friends, but what the hell is the point of spending all that money on all that custom lift, all that stuff, and never using it off road? Some people have too much money.
