Silver 2000 Chevy Z71

been lurking here for a while, getting info, figured I'd throw up some pics of my '00 Chevy Z71

March, 2000 - The day I got her, I was 15 years old and she had 7 miles on the odometer

Leveling keys, blue z71 decals, 265/70R16 Sport Kings

First mud tires: 285/75R16 Wrangler MT/Rs and aircraft landing lights

Then I got stuck in some quick sand (it was flat like the background before I drove across)

Switched to Ranch RS9000X shocks, with in cab remote & an aluminum toolbox, painted black

Had the bumper built by Dixe Mfg. (AKA Sumnerville Enterprises) in Aliceville, AL & mounted an M8000, also tinted the windows & got new MT/Rs

Here I was just trying to drive down this dirt road and didn't realize they were about to pave it. The dirt was really loose and I couldn't back up so gravity pulled me into the ditch

I burned up the winch motor and got a ground packer stuck trying to winch out, only got about 8-10 ft.

Had to a get a bull dozer to pull me out

At the beach 2 summers ago, PIAA 580s, PIAA 510s, bilstein 5100s, synthetic winch line, & 305/70R16 Dick Cepek FC-IIs

Leadville, CO hauling a popup camper

Turquoise Lake in Leadville, CO

My other ride- 2003 4Runner Limited V6 2wd (yes I hijacked the PIAAs from the Z, it has warn SDB-160s now)

Looks like it has had some adventures! Looks good.

Thanks! Yes it has, I wish I had taken more photos but most of the adventures were before digital cameras were big (or I could afford one) so this is all I have. The dents and scratches all have great stories though, not one single dent or scratch came from pavement driving or accidents. It's all from trees, rocks, winch cable snaps, and high-centering.

The day of the quick sand picture the back windshield was knocked out by a rock that hit the back windshield at the exact moment the Z was freed by a friend pulling me out (his truck threw the rock). If you look, you can tell that it's gone.
