Haven't gotten around to doing anything to the Tahoe except gas and check the oil which is about to be due at 265k. Planning on doing it and the control arms next week when my plug brings me a bunch of carbide rotary files.

Did finally get my little 4 wheeler back together and shredding again! The big bore kit added a ton of torque across the range and took 3 jet size increases to get it happy. Now it shoots fire out the tractor muffler and will nearly pull the tires in 2nd gear even though it's full-time 4x4. Not bad for a 20y/o utility quad.

No no no no it's plenty fast! Tops out around 55mph and will tow my little 4x8 trailer from property to property without sweating. It might get a size or 2 taller tires whenever these get too dry but that's about it for mods. I do need to hook the snorkel back up before I take it out Sunday but that's easy.

I still have less than $1k total in this thing over 3 years, I think it's the best bang for buck I've ever spent utility and fun wise.

Finally swapped rear springs from the Eibach to the Belltech. Also noticed my sway bar bushings were drier than the Sahara so I lathered some lube on them.

Belltechs seem to ride a good bit better so far, won't really know till I drive to work tho. Managed to get it with 1/2" of rake. 34" fender to the ground in the rear and 33.5" up front.
