This is the perfect truck for someone who wants to get a grip load of stuff for a reasonable price, and not have to do anything else to the truck. I mean it, nothing else is needed! Exterior/Suspension SUSPENSION - Electric Fast Bags with 1/2" Hoses and 1/2" dual valves. There are two huge five gallon tanks and three 300 psi compressors. This truck can get 1 to 2, sometimes 3"s off the ground. It is probably the fasted bags you'll see on an S10. All the work was done by Master Image Customs, a truly professional company, and very widely known. The bags are done perfectly and they ride very smoothly. In the front are toxic shocks. The whole set-up would cost you about 4,500 dollars including labor if you were to buy them. EXTERIOR - First off it is an Emerald Green Metallic color with a clearcoat. It has 18" Zenetti Milano rims(about 2,200 dollars retail) which are wrapped in Falkan rubber. It has a roll pan provided by Sir Michaels which is welded, molded, bondoed, and painted flushly, costing close to . The tailgate has been shaved, and painted(another ). AIC provided euro style clear corners in the back, dollars, and clear corners and fog lights in the front(another dollars). The grille is a speed grille that is polished aluminum and costs close to . The stock Chevy bowtie was replaced on the front end with a green one. The entire frame and brake drums were painted a light blue color. The bed is covered by a snug-top tonneau cover and is lined with a rhino-lined shell. As for the antennae, MIC provided me with a Chrome Skull Antennae. When the bags are completely deflated, the frame sits on the ground. The windows are tinted with custom limo tint and blue flames done by Mike's Tint Shop(leader in custom tinting), retailing at around . All the work was done well and there is little left to do for the truck.

Interior
Apart from the minor custom velvet cloth on the center console and doors, there is no upholstry work done. But, the stereo. That is a different story. The stereo broke the rear view mirror off, so there is no rear view mirror. The stereo also shattered the back window, so there is no tint on that window since it was just replaced. There are green lights under the dash. Another lighting feature is the strobe light that replaces the stock dome light in the back. AIC provided white gauges with multi colored features. Several parts of the dash were sanded and painted blue. Parts on the doors were painted blue. Oh yeah, despite the appearance of being a manual transmission, it is really a floor shifter automatic(limited to the year 1997) with a custom chrome billet shiter knob.

STEREO/MULTIMEDIA - Well now. This truck was sponsered by AUDIOSYNPHONICS, but it was completed by ADVANTAGE AUDIO AND ALARM. It has, 3 15" subs(Crystal CMPs: RMS=600, PEAK=1000), 1 1400 watt VISONIK AMP(4-way), 1 600 Watt Lanzar Vibe Amp(also 4 way), 1 6.8" in-dash TRC LCD TV, 1 VHS player, 1 PIONEER DEH-P4300 XM ready head unit. The amps are bridged to make an 8-way 2000 Watt power supply. Obviously, it hits kinda hard! The head unit is mounted inside the glove compartment and the TV is in the dash next the the Air Conditioning. The wiring is done well and the box is nice. The whole stereo/multimedia system would retail at over .

All of these valuables are protected by a Prestige alarm with an extra battery which costed dollars.

Engine
Powering this S10 is a 4.3 liter high output VORTEC V6 engine. Trust me, it is very fast. It almost tied a Dodge Ram Indianapolis Pace Car Addition truck which has a 5.9 liter racing tuned V8 engine and 4.11 gears. As for add-ons, my truck has a Gibson exhaust. It also has another couple hundred in it for the aftermarket headers. The COLD-AIR INTAKE adds more horsepower and another couple hundred dollars. The car has a custom OPTIMA Power Pumper Yellow Top battery that charges quickly and holds its life well. It also has a smaller battery that activates as a security feature for the alarm. The engine looks good because of a blue engine dress up kit that covers hoses and wires with blue tubing. The engine also has low miles as it only has 52,000.

Stock Features and Minor Problems STOCK FEATURES: Air Conditioning. Non-power windows, non-power door locks(although the alarm clicker solves that), Power Steering, Power Brakes. Extra Cab, 3rd door, 4.3L High-Output V6, Automatic Transmission, Short Bed. PROBLEMS: The rear view mirror is broken due to the stereo. In the past it had some electrical problems stemming from the excessive customs, but not bad. The front left rim was curbed and it has a chip in the chrome(it isn't big at all, and the entire wheel can be re-chromed for about 50 bucks. POSITIVES: Everyone, let me repeat, everyone, looks at you. People crowd around it, people hear it, see it, and like it. It is all show with some go, and its really fun! MIC backs up all the work on the bags, and they'll fix them for free in the event that they break. TheAquabats@hehe.com
