    haven't had a ton of updates for this truck, as I've been messing around with other projects, but I finally ended up getting some new rims and tires.... guess I don't have to guess around my ugly paint mock up anymore I really didn't want to go with these, but with some eBay deals I ended up...

    since I'm not sure I will be able to find any safe steel rims, I'm considering the ole Moto Metal M70 route.... old Denali, current Tahoe, crappy paint edit ehhh after doing that I'm not really into it :p I'm up for any suggestions for rim combos on 275/70/r16s! preferably 0mm to -20mm offset...

    yeah back in 2017 when I removed my first set on my '02 Tahoe, my dad hadn't even taught me about power tools lol, probably took me 5 hours on my own when they were out of town just another reason the '04+ are better! my Denali and this new Tahoe also both have efans which are supposed to be...

    It amazes me how much GM improved their Running Board concept in the '04+ vehicles I've removed them on 5 of my vehicles so far. 2002 Tahoe LT, 2004 Suburban LS, 2006 Yukon Denali, 2005 Tahoe LS, and now this 2003 Tahoe LS. 2004 - 2006 is a breeze. one 13MM ratchet and one impact gun, 10...

    HD hood ended up looking like crap for some reason not sure if it was too humid when I did it, or if I just don't have experience dipping such a large surface so took that off and threw it up for sale, then put my Z71 roof rack on looks like I'll be buying another Tahoe tomorrow so we'll see...

    yeah, I educated myself on a few YouTube videos of steel rims failing and that shit is definitely scary at this point I might just see which company has the best return policy, and keep buying and returning them until I can find a 4 set that works I really want a style like this: the door...

    and all together after bumpers, grille, underbody, rocker panels, new lights, etc still searching for new rims, I already have the 275/70/r16 BFG's, but I was really set on the steel rim look unfortunately, everything I've read tells me most steel rims are cheap chinese garbage, and not...

    then today I got home from work and spent probably 4 hours and 12 cans of plasti-dip giving this car the 15' touch up started with the scraped up HD hood. doesn't look half bad now! I'll throw it on my car probably tomorrow and see how I feel. if I don't like it, I can probably sell it for...

    I thought it looked rough lol, almost didn't buy it. was from FB marketplace, and it's Pewter while my car is Metallic Birch. very close tho I'm too cheap to take it to a body shop though. Last HD Hood I wanted painted was like $400 quoted. For that price I'll get a cowl hood. dang, in West...

    he had no tint and this new tahoe came with 50% or 35%. since I'm throwing 1% on it anyways, it didn't have any advantage to keep the windows in the truck, but it would be basically like getting free tint for his vehicle

    not sure yet. given I don't tend to keep vehicles long, I might just leave it my dad paid $500 to have some type of bedliner type stuff coated all around his vehicle to prevent rust but I'm not sure I like how it looks

    while I was breaking out the calculator and attempting a budget, I decided to start on some quick and easy things poor man's black rims, and removal of the rusting boards. I mean running boards. I'll be getting my tint done either this Saturday June 8th, or Tuesday June 18th depending on when...

    It's got a decent amount of rust along the running board area more than I thought when I bought it, but man I was so excited just to buy one with low miles lol as for the center console, I rarely use them, and find the center seat to offer more utility. I like having family pets sit up front...

    It's got cloth interior which is fine by me, I just need to get a jump seat for the front row it also already has a bluetooth head unit, window tint, and Flowmaster Super 40 muffler, which is all stuff I would do to the vehicle anyways, so that probably saved me ~$500 or so

    Here are some pictures in the daylight: I paid the most money for this one, and it has the most rust of any of the ones I've owned, but I still think I'll make out okay

    yeah it's definitely hard to go from an SUV to a car I thought I liked my Grand Prix, but I sat down and made a list and the SUV wins in almost every category SUV: more comfortable sits higher on the road holds value better 4wd more customization options car: 3MPG better faster so we're...

    Hey everybody, it's been a couple months since I've posted! I sold my 2006 Yukon Denali with 185k miles in April 2019 I think, but it looks like I couldn't resist coming back. I happened to be looking on craigslist tonight and found a unicorn deal. A 2005 Tahoe that was posted 32 minutes...
