Title: Jacked Up Avalanche in Irvine
Post by: HEVAK on February 28, 2013, 06:58:11 PM: Spotted this beast at the Irvine Auto Mall off the 5. I had stalked down the owner to find out some info on his suspension set up. He is a mechanic at one of the dealerships. Real cool guy with a sick rig.

Two Wheel Drive, Titan Swapped, King Suspension, Chopped front bumper

Looks like one of their wind deflectors in the top picture.

And still have to laugh because this truck gets me anywhere i want to go. Just modded ecu and it pulls like a mutha! I'm not a crawler.. But I'll climb anywhere i want to go with My trailer and bike's I tow.

Post by: Deadpilot on February 20, 2016, 08:05:24 PM: I remember seeing this one before. Been along time. I miss having my X being 2wd TS since it could take pretty much whatever I pointed it at.
