    Chevy FTW.

    I think the newest breed of Chevy and GMC trucks look better than ever.

    Almost looks like that beast is too big to fit in the garage.

    Thank you for the compliments guys!

    I hate the wood too but it's the only option on these. The Silverado had an aluminum interior that a few pieces from do fit but there are plenty of companies making new interiors for these. It's SOOOOO nice being able to shop anywhere you want to find parts for your vehicle.

    Right now the garage is still a mess from the GTP build but there's just enough to park the truck in there. It has rear parking assist and rear backup camera to help me get every last inch of that truck in the garage.

    Once the garage is cleaned up the wife's car and the GTP will probably get the garage since the truck has remote start and heated washer fluid

    Wow, no joke. Thats a tight fit. About as bad as the Harley truck when I tried putting it in the garage once.

    Once I clean up a bit more it will fit better. The power folding mirrors save space too by them tilting in out of the way.

    I BETTER HAVE 3" IN HEIGHT! The bad part is I think it dies have room for the addition of a 3" suspension lift. But how about adding another 3" of tires from going from 32" to 35" tires for a total lift of about 5-6 inches depending on tire pressure.

    If it ever gets to the point where its too big, the GTP is garunteed a covered parking space. But while the Avy still fits, the GTP gets the street
