Welcome to my humble webpage devoted to my 1999 Chevy Silverado Z71. I am very proud of this truck for many reasons. First off, it's the first brand new vehicle I've ever owned. I have done every maintenance and repair myself, and have diagnosed just about every warranty repair myself, although I did let the dealership perform those repairs. I have made many upgrades and subtle changes to it through the years, including performance upgrades, interior and exterior modifications, and mild steering and suspension modifications. It's my daily driver, but it's also a hobby, and a project that will never be finished...kinda like this webpage I guess. So feel free to sign my guest book and tell me what you think! Enjoy!

12/9/06: Took some shots before the winter wheels and tires go on. I intalled the clear corners about a week ago, and made an ABS plastic block off in Oct 06, for where the driver's side tow hook used to be, in the lower valance. Passenger's side houses the Volant ram air.
Driver's side, Passenger's side.
7/9/06: Finally debadged the truck and snapped some pics. I removed the tow hooks a few weeks earlier. At this point, the truck needs a good buffing to finish off the debadge job...hopefully soon :)
On 5/27/06, I completely changed the stance, look, feel, and style of the truck. Just by lowering the truck and changing the wheels and tires, it's like I have a whole new truck. I removed the 33" AT's on the factory wheels and installed some Gibbs 20's wrapped in 285/50 Toyo Proxes. I then installed Belltech Lowering Keys, Belltech 2" drop shackles, and removed the factory rear lift blocks. I removed the mudflaps a few weeks earlier, and am now in need of minor body work where they left their mark. Here's the truck as of the above mentioned date:
A few months prior to the exterior/suspension mods, I took advantage of the under-vehicle ground clearance and ditched the Gibson Shorties for a set of StainlessWorks Long Tubes and Catted Y-Pipe:
12/10/06: Ready for winter...removed the Joe Gibbs 20's and installed the factory aluminum wheels wrapped in 275/70 16 Toyo Open Country AT's to get me through the inclement weather and road salt here in the NorthEast...already looking forward to spring...
