They discontinued the Challengers and whatever the 5-spoke star type wheels they offered. Even Alcoa duallies are discontinued. They are the 1t version of the real thing found on big trucks...WTH?


Anyway, since there is no picture sticky for Suburbans and mine is certainly a truck, here is the most non-descript boring vehicle I have ever owned . It's an ex-police K-9 unit from Cobb County GA's Sheriff Dept. Used to haul Bloodhunds for manhunts and search & rescue. Plain Jane, 350/4L80E, 4.10, skid plates, hydroboost, full-floating rear. I have plans but here it is as I bought it in December and how it is yet. so far i've cranked the torsion bars a bit, dual exhaust, and privacy tint. I'm ready to install the 255/85s on Accuride wheels from my former GMC. Been waiting for chevy caps that are on their way:
