2016 Tahoe LTZ. Leveled/Lifted. First run on the beach!

[cireallin]

Just got her in the sand for the first time. It's doing awesome! Haven't found a trail or rut she hasn't destroyed yet. Tech question... What are oil and water temps people are seeing when off-roading vs normal temps? Thanks!

Nice!!!

Looks good! What are the specifics on the leveling kit, wheels and tires?

The only harsh terrain we tackle is the line at the school pick up line
but seriously, I am curious too, as we'll take our suburban in some trails this summer, and it's going to get above 110...

It's got a good stance to it. I was almost certain the wheels were 20" but I wasn't sure of the size.

I've been set on keeping the OEM wheels when I get mine, and just going up a couple of sizes on the tires, but yours gets me thinking of different options.

I did see one or two guys here who leveled and went with 275/60-20 on the factory wheels and that has a great look also. That tire is virtually the same height as yours but not as wide.

Nice. I almost pushed to 305/55/20 for a bit more look and stance but I couldn't bring myself to hammer and cut her. I have no rub even when off-road and full steer lock. Perfect setup for my needs.

My temps have stayed "normal" for most offroading in low range and low rpms(<3K rpms). However, there is a 20 - 40 degree grass/gravel trail that is .6 miles long. I'm in low range 2nd gear between 4 - 5K rpms with a fair amount of wheel spin on the steeper sections - momentum is your friend. My avatar is of the truck at the top. By the time I reach the top the temp gauge is just below the red, and the cooling fan is spinning full blast - not sure of the exact temp.

How about the average fuel consumption ? Do you see a difference in it ?

Very nice! My OCD kicked in and got a bit distracted with your shadow in the top photo, but still a very nice shot.
