Well lets just say this. Yeah I thought the Avalanche was ungly as hell too. Until I saw that one black one sitting on 22's. from that point on I liked them. I own a 2002 green Avalanche sitting on 22's, TV's, DVD, etc. and yes before the upgrades it was a normal ungly truck, but if you see one set up it looks good.
Oh the Av. with out the cladding looks more like a 4 door pickup. Has no look to me. Looks naked. at least with the clading it looks more off road.
But just my thoughts on the but azz naked Avalanche.
