So first ever rear tow hooks for 2021-2023 Tahoe! After a trip to harbor freight and some DIY mounted two hitch receivers directly to the frame. Only modification to the truck itself was cutting the squares in the bumper. Finished off those cuts with some door bumper trim. Think it cleaned up nice and clean!

Plus I can swap out tow point types to other accessories like a diode hitch light I have. Or I can put black caps on them to blend with the bumper.

Let me know if anyone else tries this mod!

Proof that Silverado tow hooks will fit a 2021 Tahoe!

The manufacturer sent one with a nut on the wrong side. Thanks china. But drilled one hole and they fit perfectly. Stock tow hooks wouldnt require any drilling.

What do you think of the green?

So had a thing done today! Magnaflow muffler swap part number 12229. At idle it sounds a little quieter but once you hit the gas! Boy does it come alive. Already noticed an increase in throttle response. Does have some minor drone at 75mph but nothing crazy. That’s why they have stereos. Cant post the video. But follow me on Instagram @chris.jame5

Alright. Cold air intake added to the truck!
Went with a Cold Air inductions for a Silverado. Bolted right up no problem. Saved $200 too!
Probably only going to see a minimal increase in mpg but something is better than nothing. I feel like since I did the exhaust my fuel economy has gone down. Average before was 15.7 freeway and now closer to 15ish.


Also word to the wise, if you do your exhaust be prepared to hear how often that 10 speed transmission downshifts. There is minor drone but the constant shifting is what is more annoying. Oh well!
