Where is that?

According to the website the rim is 16 inches.

You mean something like this? (Another find from other Japanese website) Yea I love Daytona rims (or other steel wheels like bassett wheels) on chevy trucks too with lettered tires. (FYI 16 inches steel rims fit SSS)

I found a weirdest SSS I've ever seen on some Japanese website today so I would like to share with you guys. This guy made a front bumper by himself.

I think the previous owner added it for some reason. http://www.urban-neon-car-lights.com/product.php?productid=111743&cat=1023&page=1 It looks like a flashing light (strobe headlight) to me... there must be a switch inside of your car somewhere.

I see some mods on your civic too! I'm not sure your civic really saves you money! LOL

Ok thanks! by the way I also go to chipotle on rt4 sometimes! LOL.

I sometimes see a blue SSS parked in front of Dunkin Donuts on River Rd Hackensack NJ. It has chrome side steps and color matched fiberglass bed cover. It's not lowered.

Thank you! ;-)

Oh if it's ok to add motorcycles I want to share my Vespa PX150 that I drive around in Manhattan in summer time. I customized it like a British mods style.

I wouldn't do this kind of job just for 100K. See what's happening in Japan right now.... Super dangerous.

I will!

Yes my problem is already solved by replacing the old tie rod to new one. It rides smooth like before. So basically I don't really have to add a steering damper at this moment and the guy just recommended me to have it. (He said it is not must have, its just good to have) He said if I feel the steering wheel picks up the road condition more sensitively than before after I dropped the truck, then it might be a good idea to put a steering damper additionally to give more shock absorbing function for the steering. Thank you guys for all of your comments and suggestions! This website is the best ;-)

You are talking about the labor just for replacing the rod. If the guy (Taki Motors mechanic) knew my problem was from the tie rod for 100% sure he would charged me minimum. He drove the car with me on the highway to see exactly what I am talking about and also lifted up the truck to check underneith if there is another issue causes the problem. He found out the problem himself and I think those checkup fee should be chargable to customer as well. Im sure the total hour he spent on my truck is at least 3 hours. The price for the parts, i dont know how much he marked up on it but i hope he did not buy a cheap quality one... But thanks for your concern.

So how much $$$ you think it should be for the work? Tell me I will go back to the shop on Monday. It could be a bergen county price. (the richest county in the US)

I just checked their invoice. They did outer as well.

To answer your question, I installed 3 inch DJM lowering arms and rear 4 inch adjustable shackle and hanger kit. Also the kit came with BELLTECH performance shocks. I got them from NORCAL and this is the most popular kit & way to lower SSS i think. Mine is AWD. Ive seen laxuary cars have steering dampers installed as default and also a lot of race cars they install steering dampers additionally after they lower the vehicle. But after I see your comment I am not sure if what the mechanic told me is true or not. I kinda thought it's a good idea to install a steering damper because usually it stops wobbling the steering wheel and also when I started to notice the wobbling issue the first thing I guessed was a steering damper on my SSS but after I checked out underneath I figured SSS doesnt have a steering damper. Any other thought anyone?

Yes I have a 200V charging station installed in my garage but it can be charged from regular 120V outlet as well.

Cool I also had a 07 Acura RDX back in 2006. I purchased the car because Honda does not make turbo a lot (very rare) and also SH-AWD is a 3000 dollars option in Japan but here it comes as standard. I really liked the car but it put too much miles on it so I traded in for 2013 TSX wagon which i totaled by hurricane sandy in 2012.

Just curious what kind of car you guys own besides Silverado SS. What is the SSS to you? Is it the daily? work truck? racecar? or just as a weekender? Personally my SSS is for my surfing truck. I drive it weekends to go Jersey shore or long island NY for surfing. For my daily use I have a Scion Xb to commute to my office in Manhattan everyday. My wife drives Nissan LEAF (100% EV) everyday and also I have a 1965 VW Microbus that is just for my hobby. I would like to know what type of car you guys drive besides SSS. I know we all love SSS but what else do you guys also like?

　 Thanks! Yes steering dampers usually installed on 4wd offroad vehicles like Jeep or SUV. Also like you said people install it when they lift up the truck. But I've also seen laxually sedans such as Mercedes & BMW have steering dampers as default. So I wonder if my lowered truck will also get some benefit from it like Taki Motors guy told me.....so If you could check with Nor Cal ss that would be really appriciated! thanks in advance ;-)

Good morning guys. I brought my truck to Taki Motors in Teaneck NJ on Friday and they fixed the problem in the same day! I already picked up the truck and it drives like a cadillac now! ;-) They said they found the right side tie rod end is worn a bit. They replaced the right side inner tie rod end and did front wheel alignment & test. This is what they charged me. 1) Parts: Inner Tie Rod End (right side only) $100 2) Labor $100 3) Front wheel alignment and test $90 I don't know if this is fair $$$ but as long as the car rides smooth now I am so happy! They said that it may be caused by lowering the truck and wobble problem could come back later by different reasons since I have less shock absorbing than before. So they recommended me to install a steering damper additionally on the truck. They said they will check out the price for the parts and let me know on Monday. Since I already had the service today they said they will install it for me for free (they will only charge $$$ for the parts) if I want to do it. Do you guys think this is a good idea to put a steering damper? Thank you all guys again for your help!
