Thanks for sharing. Love how the white roof looks on the SUV.

Here's more photos of the orange wrap Slate SUV truck.

Ah, thanks for s haring! This is the first I've seen the optional upgraded bumper outside of the Slate Maker. Looks good! Dig the fog lights too.

Someone in a Facebook group went to see this one. The rep told them it has the 2” lift. I’m pretty sure those are the 245/75R17’s, so 31.5”.
D'oh! You're right! Thanks for the correction.

Definitely lifted. There's 1" of extra space above the top of the tire that has a 1" larger radius. Visually that's a great tire size, however...

That's a 49-pound tire. It's probably ~15 lbs heavier than the stock tire. It's also 2" taller. Gotta wonder how much that affects acceleration, braking, and range.

Why is there a launch the nukes button in the center at least that what it looks like lol
Me going 95MPH on the interstate in my Slate as I look up from my Candy Crush game to see a wall of stopped cars:
Slate Auto Pickup Truck Orange Slate SUV w/ 2" lift, BFG All-Terrain AT T/A tires, upgraded bumper, white roof, roof rack - photos from Cleveland Ohio 1000034419


All jokes aside that lift looks nice on it. Can't wait to try getting in and out of one to see how much of a difference the 2'' makes. My Element is just 1'' too tall for easily getting in and out without mushing the seat bolsters.

Right. I can’t imagine that that’s the tire they’ll go with, considering the lighter options out there. I also think those tires fill the wells a tiny bit too much. The lift looks awesome, though. Looking at these pics solidifies choosing the lift and the 245/70 size for me.

It’s a great looking SUV. I love the simple two-box design and how easy it is to get a two-tone look.
