04 Tahoe Z71 Project

[LTG515]

UPDATE:

Sliders are on and am stoked on how they came out! I have them at 0 degrees so that I can use them as a little step as well. I also plated in the back kick out with a hole cut mesh type sheet. Came out nice! You’ll see in the pictures the design we did allowed us to brace the legs as well as clear the parking brake cable and wiring loom. The passenger side was more simple but kept the same support design for strength.






Front driver



Rear driver.

Still need to paint the welds. It was dark and late.

Anyways, real happy with how they came out and will have to put them to the test soon! This is most likely the last major thing I do to the Tahoe for a while.

Looks really good! Those look like they can take some abuse

Very stout! I only took a picture of 2 of the legs, but there is one more in the middle as well.

Man those sliders are perfect. How can I get a set of those!

I am getting my 04 Tahoe ready for Dove season. Had it down on the beach recently, t-case leaked all of it's fluid out somewhere along the way, and she **** a fuel pump, all while a hurricane was coming in. 250k miles and that was the worst problem I have ever had with the truck.

They really are a sleeper platform as far as bang for your buck, especially with the SBC aftermarket.

I found a guy on OfferUp who makes sliders for Tacoma’s and I liked the overall design he made with the kick out so I asked if he could make the same design, just different length. I measured what I thought would be a good length and he whipped them up in a couple says. I had my brother in law help me with mounting them to the frame.

Added some KC HiLites C3 amber LED spots to my bumper. Wired them into the existing fog light wiring so that I could utilized the fog light button already on the dash.

ONBOARD AIR:

Installed a Viair 400P-auto in my engine bay as a “hard mount”. I used a portable compressor as a permanent solution for a couple reasons. 1, I wanted to have some nice rubber bushings to minimize vibration and have some give when off-roading. 2, I wanted the ability to still use it as a portable if I want/need to. So that’s why I went with a portable.

Ran a permanent wire from the battery to the compressor.



I then used bullet connectors that can be unplugged from the permanent wire and plugged back into the alligator clips that the compressor came with.



The compressor itself is plumbed to an air manifold with a leader hose and female quick connect. I used a quick connect so that it could be easily removed if desired. The manifold itself has another quick connect for an air line for my front tires, compression fitting running a line to the rear bumper, safety valve, and pressure release valve.


Lastly, installed a quick connect on my rear bumper to easily fill my rear tires.
