'99 Tahoe - Expedition Build!

[sparg93]

Looks great man, the wife and I are headed out that way on Sunday. Any advice?

Thanks Red. Apologies for the delay, I just grabbed some wifi late last night. What kind of rig (mods?) are you running with?

A stock Tahoe with an experienced driver can definitely do all the blue (medium) trails....the red (difficult) takes bigger tires, armor and a lot of pucker power to complete.

Check out these two videos folks - shows what a Tahoe can really do in Moab - Fins & Things is a Red trail.

This thing was CRAZY steep. Check out where my front bumper hits before the tires even touch the dirt.

This was probably the steepest obstacle I have ever climbed over. We had a small crowd watching and they were stunned our big rig climbed it. It's hard to get perspective from the video, but this thing had tons of pucker power.

exactly!!

These rigs are awesome and I had ppl coming up to me throughout Moab asking questions about my truck. If you're careful and know how to work with the weight of these things, they are AWESOME expedition rigs that can even do some rock crawling.

As usual, I was the only Chevy around, but it felt really good to represent the bow tie proudly!

I'm in Reno right now and did not fair too well in the casinos....how the heck does 7 hit the dice x4 in a row!!!!

Thanks Battel

We decided to stay another day here and take a break from camping each night...i think i may have to stay away from the table games after the whooping last night

We were out around the four corners a for a few weeks. We were running a 2 door Tahoe on 33's. I have a build thread over at expeditionportal for that truck but sold it when I got back. Keep throwing up pictures and info on your ride over here it would be good to see more trucks over here.
