What's the craziest modification you're actually considering for your slate

Me? Sidepipes just for fun. Maybe hookup some sound to it with different engine noises, like small block chevy, F1 V12, etc..

Yeah, it's crazy..

If you are going to do a custom setup with "engine sounds" don't stop there. Jetsons has already been done. Add a whole set of sci-fi spaceship sounds. Add animal sounds, everything from ducks to horses, cattle, elephants.

If I get a truck version, rolling stage, complete with PA and sound board. It'll be version 2.0. My 2000 S10 was version 1.0 and saw a lot more use than I'd expected. Also made for one hell of a sound system while driving around.

If I go with the SUV version, itll be a small datacenter on wheels for "Incident Response" - ie, Ransomware and other catastrophic events clients call me for where I have to roll in with a literal rack of hot ready to go 'on-prem' equipment to prop them up while I un-F whatever they got nailed by. Right now thats a lot of servers and cables on dollies.

How will you make them hot? No sidepipes are complete without the chance to scorch a leg.

Full v8 swap XD

That would be pretty funny. Rich Rebuilds did that in a Tesla. Took an astronomical amount of work, with having to build a transmission tunnel, reinforce the chassis without the pack, and much much more. I imagine a little transverse mounted I4 would work if FWD was okay

Thank you mods or whomever made the pic at the top of the thread. Too funny!

I actually think that Slate is one of the best configured vehicles for my desire to explore mode-decoupled suspensions. That's probably my craziest mod idea.

I also like the idea of enhancing the natural EV sounds, rather generating synthetic sounds. Think an acoustic guitar with a pickup, rather than an electric guitar.

The lowered suspension also pretty much demands a stylistically appropriate simple air dam, rather than even the base 'soft-roader' style Slate bumper.

I think the Slate would look great with a lowered suspension and a body kit. Combined the potential autocross eligibility and we'll see a resurgence of cheap little 'sport' trucks. I hope the modding scene gets their hands on these and starts doing some wild stuff with them.

Closest I've seen to a Slate is this modded Isuzu from the Philippines.

I'd put 'em on and slap a pair of these stickers on them. Hot in a different way!
