New Guy from Florida!

by HeavyChevy4200 » Thu Apr 23, 2015 10:31 pm

Hey guys. Thought I would join up and say Hi! I've been lurking for the past few weeks gathering info and using what I've found to good use. Ya'll really know your stuff.

I recently picked up a 2003 GMC Envoy. Straight six, 4x4, GM bull bar and aftermarket 18's. Not sure what brand the wheels are but I was able to fit some 265/65/18 all terrains with them.

I'm new to this platform but not to modding and wrenching. Previous rides include a supercharged Monte Carlo, a H/C/I nitrous fed Trans Am, a bolt on Z06 and a lifted 2500HD Sierra. I was into the go-fast scene when I was younger and then got a truck to help with home renovations and now I needed a ride that would accomadate the growing family.



The new ride.

And the previous rides.

Welcome, HeavyChevy4200. You're obviously a diehard GM guy, well except for the quad.;-)

Those are nice looking rims on your Envoy; decent aftermarket ones are scarce for our platform, so you scored on those!

If GM made a quad I may have bought one, haha. The plastic would be shotty but the motor would keep on ticking.
I was looking into H3 rims thinking the GMT's had your typical GM pattern. I was very wrong once I starting looking around.

I just realized I spelt my username wrong, argg. It should be HeavyChevy4200. I'll have to PM someone and ask to get it fixed. Whoops.
