Duramax gets lifted - Altered A+++++

[Thorn]

Many thanks and props to Josh and crew at Altered Image Customs. I brought my 2004 Chevy Duramax to Altered and basically drop off my keys and told Josh to do what he thought was right. Josh also picked out the nice 18X9 black chrome ProComp wheels. A couple of days later, my basic stock truck was turned into a kick ass mean machine. Awesome customer service, detailed game plan in writting, on time scheduled service, no surprized, and no bullshit. Sorry I am no pro photographer and these pictures does not do this truck any justice. A must see in person.

Totally different truck but way COOL now.

[SPEC silVer]

fuckin sick looking, Id love to have the same truck, in a crew cab :D

Is Josh going to install a elevator to load the mowers on the work trailer?, I thought I remember you saying something about only doing a small lift, you'll need a 6 inch lift on the trailer so it can reach the goose neck! Oh and you putting 100LBS back of grass seed or furtilizer in the bed of the truck is probably out too, unless you start practicing the shot put.

Now that the "this is my work truck and I'm not going nuts with it" speach is done, DAMN that is a completely differnt look from stock. Two thumbs way up!

I agree with Tom, this is the best pic, "Um, does anyone have some chicken to go along with all this rice?"

Its still a work truck. Just need to get a hitch with a 4-6" drop for the trailer.

Looks awesome Thorn.

I love jacked up trucks. My next vehicle will be a jacked up Wrangler.

[Juice33]

Johnny California! The truck is most definately pimp!

Now all you need is a flat brimmed capped krunked to the side and some tube socks pulled up way high and you can finish off the total Cali look, lol.

[Thorn]

sounds like you want me to dress up like Belward

He doesn't have the truck to pull off the look like you do. Maybe you should sport a Mohawk too!

Well he should be good since the trailor would not be a goose neck, and the drop hitches are plenty strong for 5000-6000 lbs worth of mowing equipment at most. The damn truck comes stock with a 18,000 lb tow limit.

[drinkingmymilk]

I want to see a picture of his standing next to it.

[crabbyabby]

Very nice Thorn! What happened to getting a Ford???

[Thorn]

Thanks Abby. Could not find a decent F250/F350 with the budget I had. I needed another 5-7 thousand to get a Ford that I would of been happy with.

[crabbyabby]

That's ok.... Chevy's better than Dodge I guess!

[AlteredImage]

Hey hey easy on the Dodge thing.. Haha.

Sidenote Josh: I sent you a few PM's :cool:

[WRXtion]

Damn...I know I've said it a lot...but...damn...yer truck is FRIGGIN' AWESOME!!!

[Thorn]

got the truck a little sideways today in the rain. That was fun. Also I was driving down the highway just after it stop raining and notice that alot of people were keeping their distance. The amount of water the tires throw out is awesome. Rostertails over the top of the truck the and spray was almost 2 lanes wide. Freaking awesome to people with wipers on full blast after it stopped raining. I was laughing the entire time. I really need to get wider fenders.

Ya I havn't been on in a bit. Anyone figure out how to add say 6 more hours to a day? No I can't take any of the 4 hrs a night sleep away either.
Pm'd ya back. Stop up anytime with it.

Deligate or bring in another person. Running a shop is tough and I feel your pain. I would put in a minimum 12 hour day and usual hit 40 hours or over by Wednesday when I was with XX-Tuning.

If I only had room for another person. We have the work for 2 or 3 more guys but no room at the moment. Fall time we should be breaking ground.
