I added another S series truck to my collection

cpolaris502 · 09-14-2009, 11:34 PM

I got a winter truck of my own now, no more driving dads astro van or suburban. I love it.

It's a 1999 Bravada, 138,000 miles, heated seats, steering wheel radio controls, etc. Clean body, shiny paint, the frame is all nice and black with factory undercoating still.

No plans as of yet, maybe a radio someday. yeah, its a stock truck. im not expecting this thread to get big lol. I now own a '99 Blazer and a '99 Bravada.

2.5FearFactory · 09-14-2009, 11:37 PM

beautiful truck...I have a '95 Jimmy 4dr and love the damn thing haha...yours is in wicked cond, would have to have a Bravada, but they were never sold here

***orangesonoma*** · 09-14-2009, 11:39 PM

nice for sure...you should lift it a little and some 31's

some envoy handles...and oh shit its got a double din

**Br&on's Z** · 09-14-2009, 11:45 PM

Nice addition. Now you can just go ahead and yank out the seats and send them to me. You don't really want those leather seats you just think you do. lol I've been trying to find a good set of leather buckets since i got my truck in May of 08! Looks good though, btw why does it register 120 mph when all of the others register 100?

cpolaris502 · 09-14-2009, 11:54 PM

Yeah, i was excited about the double din too, I wasnt expecting it for a '99. I definitely want navi for it.

Lol about the seats. I came across a set at the junkyard this spring of 09 in PERFECT shape and got the pair for $85 (which are in my blazer) and they're in better shape than these. I dont know why the speedo goes up higher, the cluster is styled different than gmc and chevy trucks..

And this truck has brand new tires and brakes, and the entire front hubs were new last year when he said the awd wasnt kicking in. got it for $1,000-$1,500 less than what other comparable bravadas were going for on craigslist. I paid $3k for it.

heeter_33 · 09-15-2009, 12:14 AM

wow, that looks like its in pretty solid shape. and your house in looks pretty damn nice too haha.

TubbD · 09-15-2009, 12:46 AM

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 09-15-2009, 06:45 AM

hah very nice! way the hell better than that piece of shit one you were looking at. im sure you will be MUCH happier with this!

cpolaris502 · 09-15-2009, 07:04 AM

Thanks guys. Yeah, its better than the other one but the mini project would have been fun. This thing is sooo comfortable to drive, and nothing rattles either, lol.

Deja_Vu969 · 09-15-2009, 07:25 AM

wow that is clean...not too bad for 3k either...good find

Driveway Kustoms · 09-15-2009, 08:01 AM

lol you wont wanna go back to the blazer

redngreedy · 09-15-2009, 08:02 AM

Nothing like a cassette player and wood grain yo.

Looks good man, welcome to the wonderful world of 4 doors.

Blazin00Jimmy · 09-15-2009, 08:08 AM

looks like a nice buy! Id love to have some leather seats but the ones around here are expensive and when I find a cheap set on ebay i never have the money. Could those hvac controls work on a jimmy? Look much better than the ones I have...

iroc2nv · 09-15-2009, 08:46 AM

You done good ! And at 3k ..... great deal !

If I remember correctly the plugs on the back are different, you could probably rewire them but they are not a plug and play.
Nice Bravo, the speedos always read higher on the Bravadas, even the first gens....

***sdime98*** · 09-15-2009, 09:00 AM

i was afraid this was gonna be about that white one...lol

looks nice, good find.

2Tonechevy · 09-15-2009, 12:20 PM

Good fined.Very clean for 3k always loved the newer bravada's, just don't like the AWD option Imo. Just make sure your fuel pump is good in this one before any road trips

J/K

95xtreme · 09-15-2009, 12:25 PM

The bumper is out of alignment, your roof rack looks crappy especially the peeling paint, and nice door dings. Also is there a chunk of pinstripe missing on the p.s. fender?

Meh you screwed up like always man.

blazin2wd85 · 09-15-2009, 03:52 PM

looks good for a winter beater. i guess

cpolaris502 · 09-15-2009, 04:02 PM

I love you, Jim.

The heater box is also different, along with wiring and everything else...that's if you're talking about doing the auto climate control though.

Lol at the fuel pump jokes. Actually, the previous owner did say the gas gauge goes a little goofy when it gets around half tank, but its still full right now so I havent seen it yet.

Grohe · 09-15-2009, 04:59 PM

Nice Bravo. Didn't realize people still wear jorts

cpolaris502 · 09-15-2009, 05:21 PM

Lol, really? What do people wear now?

95xtreme · 09-15-2009, 05:51 PM

Also you only had one truck before, so you were not adding to a collection per say, more or less starting a collection.

cpolaris502 · 09-15-2009, 05:51 PM

Haha, will you just shut up already...quit stealing my moment!

No, by the way everybody I just bought another sweet Typhoon.

For less then this pile.

kevdog · 09-15-2009, 06:42 PM

Nice find on the Bravada. Keep us updated on it.

I almost bought one a couple months ago for about the same price, but I was scared of the AWD components going bad and eventually needing replaced.

Onimun · 09-15-2009, 09:00 PM

Looks like a good deal for 3K. I liked that Envoy.

I wish Mine had Climate control and console shift

wildman ss · 09-15-2009, 11:07 PM

brown or black dickies with a white or black shirt with something truck related on it (typical "minitrucker" uniform)

Lol, oh yeah. I only dress like that every other day of the week.

drmrman · 10-27-2009, 11:58 AM

Awesome man! Im looking to do the same thing (pick up a 4wd 4dr leather blazer) Looks awesome man! Good luck with it!

95xtreme · 10-27-2009, 12:42 PM

It would be a pain to get the climate control HVAC stuff to work in another S-series and it would involve a large chunk of bravada wiring and brain boxes. However on the Cheap you can just swap out the knobs on the stock hvac control with the Bravada knobs. They fit exactly the same as the stock ones and look 1000x better. I know for a fact they fit because I have them in my truck.

cpolaris502 · 11-20-2009, 02:18 PM

Did a few things to the truck, nothing to make it look or work differently though, just some fixes.

It was leaking oil like crazy so I changed the intake gaskets. that was actually a pretty fun job. then I got a new rear wiper motor because it didnt work and some other misc stuff.

Close up of where it was leaking, back on the left of the silicone.

Working on tall trucks sucks.

GeorgesBlazah · 11-20-2009, 03:09 PM

Tall truck lol

blazin2wd85 · 11-20-2009, 03:14 PM

it only sucks to work on when your short

cpolaris502 · 11-20-2009, 05:08 PM

The back of my legs got a good stretching. See the chair in front of it in the last picture? lol

Driveway Kustoms · 11-22-2009, 10:43 PM

wow got sludge- my 4.3 had 109kmi when i tore it apart and it looked no where near that bad

cpolaris502 · 11-22-2009, 10:49 PM

The coolant could use a flush.
