'99 Chevy Silverado Z-71

The Truck May Be Gone, But Its Memory Shall Live on Forever

The Rado as the pinnacle of its achievement. It will be sad to see it go.

November 6, 2000 - Well, much to Bryan's disappointment (I think he's more broken up than me), I've had to trade in the 'Rado. Why, might you ask? Mostly, a combination of factors. The Silverado was amazing off-pavement, but in downtown Austin it was more a pain than anything. The extended cab made it difficult to park and impossible to parallel. The combined 7" of lift and the Super Swampers made parking garages a thing of the past. And, of course, there is my internship on the Land Rover account at GSD&M...which requires me to drive downtown and park in a parking garage. So, as of now the Silverado is gone, and its replacement, a 1997 Defender 90, will be ready in time for the offroading excursion in Dallas this weekend.
