  • [Project] Chevy Colorado Xtreme

    Wanted to share my build of my truck with you guys

    Well I figured I would create a log of my build for Shante, yes I named her lol.

    I had a 1994 S10 Blazer at the time but it was a $500 junk truck that I picked up just to drive while I had my 88 S10 Blazer, which I eventually traded away.
    When I was starting to work full time, I decided to treat myself to a new truck and found this on craigslist and bought it from Lucas Chevy in Lumberton, NJ.

    I bought her on 04/19/2010 w/ 22,xxx miles and looking pretty stock


    stayed like that for awhile


    my first mods were:
    -Billet bowtie
    -HIDS (6000k lows, 3000k fogs) supermod sequential blinkers
    -Factory electric SS mirrors



    I then lowered the rear 2" with belltech blocks I bought


    Then I played around with some plaid (will probably revisit this later, but with better execution)


    Next was a wheel swap I did his silver Boss 330's and lowered the front more with 2" belltech coils





    That's where we are as of now, I did get candied tail lights but I have a lot planned

    Future Mods:
    - JTR Low profile crossmember (waiting to be installed)
    - Belltech lowering struts (being shipped, and possible slight cut of coils)
    - C - Notch the frame
    - Change Red Xtreme logo to surf blue X and possible trim pieces
    - Xtreme wheels with surf blue lip
    - Shaved rear tailgate
    - color matched door handles and tonneau cover
    - custom shift knob
    - tub front for more clearance
    - performance mods
    - solid back windown
    - pinstriping
    - more when I come up with it, or get bored and think of new things


    wanted to get this all in one area so I can organize my pictures as well and keep track of the progress my truck goes through.
    Hopefully I can get it to where I want it and hope my photography skills enhance along the way, thanks for reading along guys.

    so, here's some other random shots.

        Thanks man, Yeah, mine has the 3.7 I-5 (wish it was a stick at times)
        They have I-4s as well and V8s but the v8 wasn't available for the single cab

        RWD, I would have to shorten the axle to run some deep dish, the wheels i have on there now are flush with the fenders in the rear.

                      it's a low profile trans crossmember. The one from the factory hangs suuuuuuuper low for no reason and this one will sit flush

                      this is where my stock crossmember is now

                          I've got a soft spot for the shortie Colorados, and this one is starting off right.

                          Almost bought a crew cab V8 middle of last year on a Belltech 4/6 kit I think it was. Either way, looked damn good that low. Can't wait to see some updates on this one.

                              Thanks fellas, at times I wish I had a crew cab but the single cabs look soooo good.

                              and might be going back to the stock xtreme wheels or some 5 spoke titan wheels to get lower
