    Upgrades!

    Truck looks good man! Next time the funds build up, its headlights and taillights. I just need to take a weekend to blackout the grill and bowties.

    Upgrades!

    Post some pics of the new headlights when you get them in. I've been eying the same ones for some time and would also like to hear how the projector lenses perform in them.

    MY NNBS tahoe on 20's

    Nice Truck! We have almost the exact same setup. I just have the nitto Terra Grapplers instead of the Trail Grapplers I need to get it cleaned up this weekend and get some better pics than the crappy garage pics i put up earlier.

    Offset and Backspacing Recommendations

    I'm going to assume you mean both outer edges of each tire. which in that case, yea, it would seem they're under pressurized. If you're only getting the wear on the one edge of a tire which happens to be the outside in reference to the truck, then you have an alignment issue. Toe in, if i...

    Offset and Backspacing Recommendations

    I want to say upper 30s ~37 cold. after 5k miles i'll check for odd wear and inflate/deflate accordingly. just occurred to me that the BFG ATs are probably louder in the Jeep since the jeep has next to no road noise insulation where the tahoe keeps out a lot of noise...so take it with a grain...

    Offset and Backspacing Recommendations

    I have the terra grapplers. Road noise is slightly more than the stock bridgestones, but quieter than the 33" BFG AT's on my Jeep, ride is a little rougher (prolly from the Load E spec and 20s more than anything). We've only had them for about 2 months now, not much rain since, and the snow...

    Offset and Backspacing Recommendations

    I have the 285 55 R20s in the nitto TG with the 20" monsters backspaced +18. I also have the extra fender flares with the Z71 package and my tires are perfectly flush if not a little sticking out. I'd say for what you want, go with the +35mm offset. This will give a "tire tuck" most similar...

    Hid emi?!?

    So this has happened twice now since installing my HID kit from DDM tuning a while back. when I/my wife turn on the vehicle, the windshield wipers just start going in the spray mode and do not stop. I read somewhere a while back about EMI with certain HID balasts and remember thinking it may...

    '07 Tahoe Limp Mode!

    I dont think i saw anything about this in your postings, but i remember reading about it when changing wheels. I was reading in a corvette forum that if the TPMS sensors are unable to communicate with the vehicle, the stabilitrack system will put the vehicle into a "limp mode." You mentioned...

    everyone keeps recommending optima yellow tops

    I went through 3 different batteries because of hard cold starting in college (Jeep would sit consistently for a week or more between starts). Fortunately they were all within some sort of warranty. After i got the red top, i've never had problems again. I put one in our tahoe. I believe it...

    leveling kits??

    I also have the CCM 2.5F/1F and i only installed the 2.5 front portion. Truck is exactly even. UofM and I both have the Z71 version, so i think that makes a slight difference in factory "lean" that we started from. From my own viewings of other truck around Denver, the denalis/eskys and LTs...

    PHOTOS!!!-First Round of Mods

    Unfortunately, last night i had to do a lot more trimming than i expected. Driving it around yesterday i noticed some rubbing after 1 full turn of the steering wheel. When i got home and evaluated it, i had rubbed clean through the well liner on the right side. When i started evaluating the...

    PHOTOS!!!-First Round of Mods

    Zed - That's correct. I only installed the front 2.5" portion of the CCM leveling kit. After i installed the front, i measured all four corners and they were all the exact same, so i didnt put the rear spacers in. I look at it to make sure its sitting level every time i approach it in a...

    Wheel fit question.

    The wheels i just put on were a -18mm offset. with 285s the rear tires are perfectly flush and the fronts stick out just barely. Bear in mind that i have a Z71, so this is in reference to the fender flare that my truck has. I do not know how much width they add. I would bet that the -12mm...

    Figured it out!

    So this topic hasn't been visited in a while, but i was thinking about doing this mod for the 6-hi, but got to thinking. Has anyone tried finding a different relay for the fog lights switch. I imagine that the relay has multiple inputs for inputs from park/lows, switch, and high beams. Then...

    High Beam Bulbs

    Does anyone have some recommendations for a 07 Tahoe Hi Beam Bulb. I'm looking for something whiter/brighter than factory. I was going to go with a 55W HID kit, but someone commented on another post that you loose the quick flashing ability with HID Hi's. I'm just starting into my...

    Brakes Upgrade

    Got everything installed on Sunday! Thank God i didnt need the old rotors, i had to beat one of the rear ones loose with a hammer (PB Blaster is my friend). Took the hoe out that night to find a dark parking lot and adjust the headlights and bed the brakes per Hawk's recommendations. Lights...

    When The Wife asks for the keys

    Technically, our Tahoe is my wife's. I drive the lifted Jeep. It was all part of the kid preparation plan. I wanted her and my kids (when they come) in something safe, reliable, and good for winter in Denver. Yes she has some quarks that get to me when she drives, but 98% of the time, if...

    Looking for wisdom

    So I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place. I had plans for the tahoe for 20" XD monsters with some nitto TGs. we had built up some funding and were ready to pull the trigger and i noticed the brake rotors were bad. so i dropped the $600 for fixing all that. Now, 10 days before a road...

    Brakes Upgrade

    I ended up ordering the EBC USR Slotted rotors and Hawk LTS pads for all 4 corners. $600 shipped for everything. UPS says pads will be here on friday. Fedex wont tell me when the rotors will get here, but i know they were shipped yesterday. Really hoping for them before this weekend so i can...
