New Member with 1st Safari

Post by Speedfreak42 »

Hey guys and girls, my name is Chris Im 30 and I have a 2001 Safari cargo 2wd with 83,000 on her. So far she is bone stock with the Vortec 4.3 v6 and 4l60e tranny. I got her to use with my new mobile detailing business I'm starting up. I have been a die hard Chevy guy my whole life. Starting with a 1966 Chevelle for my first car and countless S dimes, blazers and full size Chevy trucks since then. I have big plans for the Safari in the future including a 5.7/383 swap, air ride on 18's or 20's, and maybe a Escalade swap. I have always wanted an Astro/Safari so I'm real excited to get started on making her my own. I have looked around on this site and seen some really cool rides and some really cool people. I look forward to learning a lot and sharing my mods as I do them. I'll take some pics of my ride as she sits now and post them soon as I figure out how, I'm new to this whole forum thing. Well at least posting on a forum lol.

Ok so I did a couple small upgrades. First I did the big 3 wire upgrade which was simple and even made my headlights brighter. Second I upgraded my sound system to a Dual brand CD player, mb quartz mids and highs and kicker solobaric 12 inch subs. Not much but atleast I'm started on the road to making my van awesome.
