The headrest monitors on the front seats are by Vizualogic and feature 9-inch display screens. The monitors are used with Vizualogic's plug-and-play GamePak, DVDs run through the source unit, and television programming is made possible with Kenwood's TV tuner. The Sierra's Crew Cab offers plenty of space for passengers. By using the bed and space under the seats for some of the equipment, the team was able to preserve the spaciousness of the cabin.
Interior work included installation of Auto Meter gauges, carbon-fiber dash trim, and an extensive Kenwood/JL Audio/Vizualogic entertainment system. The system is run off of the Kenwood in-dash screen monitor/DVD receiver with a 6.5-inch, touch-screen display that also functions as the navigation computer.
The speakers, amps, and subwoofers used in the pickup are all by JL Audio. The front stage relies on three-way component speakers each consisting of a 6.5-inch mid-woofer, 4-inch midrange, and 1-inch tweeter. With the help of Q-logic's Q-forms, the midranges and tweeters were installed in the kick panels, and the mid-woofers were placed in the door locations. Additional sound is provided by a set of premium JL Audio 6.5-inch coaxial speakers installed in the rear doors. Two 12-inch subwoofers are also mounted in the truck bed in a custom down fire enclosure. Vizualogic provided the headrest monitors, video gaming equipment, and backup camera for the truck. The 9-inch display screens on the headrests give backseat passengers access to TV, movies, and video games.
With its sleek look and ample audio/video equipment, it's easy to forget that this truck was built to be a tow vehicle. Its real job is to haul a matching 30-foot H&H cargo trailer. The LLY Duramax's performance profile was optimized with an Edge's Juice programmer and Attitude in-cab controller. An Advanced Flow Engineering (aFe) intake and B&B Performance exhaust help move extra air in and out of the engine for better performance.
Coming full circle, the lowering experiment was a complete success. Dropping the Sierra helped improve the truck's handling and stability when hauling. So, to those who ask the question, why would you lower a 4x4? Chris will tell you, it just tows better.
