Blurred's 04 Tahoe Z71 build - Mr. Greenly Greenerson

[blurred]

So not a lot to update. I put in the 1 inch coil spacer in the rear and installed 1 inch BORA spacers on the wheels (which I should have done 1.5" up front personally) and I've purchased a Denali cluster that will be fixed/ modified and installed. That's about all I've done to it right now.

But here are some pictures...

I miss my 01 z71 in this exact color. Great pics. Looks super clean!!

Looks really nice man. Nice pics.
Wondering what your ground to fender lip measurements are? Front is looking low.

So clean and sexy. Think about color matching or at least glossing the z71 plastics?

Some one on here painted there Z-71 plastics black. It turned out good but it didn't look good on the truck IMO.

@Fosscore, I'm not sure what the height is honestly... All I know is I am content at the moment since I know the route I plan to go to make it look even lower.

@05Single, the plastics will eventually be color-matched as that is how I seem to go with my mod choices over time... but, I have a twist with the plastics to make it look decent...

Today I decided to see if I could figure out how to make this Offroad package more street-ish.. So I picked up some vinyl rain gutters at Lowes for $6 each (10 feet) and whipped out the heat gun.

Here are the photos of the outcome of about 30 minutes of work with them.

Pulled the side steps


Mock up/test fit



and shaped to fit the contour of the Z71 plastics.


Now I need to plastic weld the edge up and possibly run a filler along the seam, rough everything up and, for the mean time, hit it with some spray on bedliner. Hopefully I can get some of this done this weekend, but we will see...

And for gits and shiggles, had two of these made for the back windows.

On a side note, I have the following planned modifications that I just need the time to do

The stock taillights drive me nuts so I plan to simply tint the entire thing red, at least everything but the reverse light. This should give it more of an "updated" look since I hate the yellow lens on there. To me, it appears to be out-dated.

The wheels will be painted (in entirety) a stainless steel gray, so a couple shades darker than what is on there now. The inner lip will be left black though. I've come to the decision that on this one, these wheels do not look good being two toned the way I have them.

I honestly wish I would have picked up the Dub Skillz or something similar to that, but I think a darker gray will bring out the sporty in these wheels. If not, I'll try and trade for something lol...

I really NEED to find an HD grille and bumper cap combo. I keep finding them for over $100 each or about an hour point five away and don't have the time to drive that far one direction anymore. Annoying, that's all it is.

There's also a couple of other things that I know I am forgetting.

Oh, a tune. Need to get some parts sold so that I can get the intake and exhaust work done so I can finalize the tune on the 'Hoe.

No that I'm complaining at all, this is looking good and what I expected when I first saw this post. But, what made you want to lower and off road truck versus a 2wd? Iv always wondered what this looked like and I'm sure they're out there somewhere, just never seen one.

24s are bangin tho, they look way bigger for some reason on this truck than on others I'v seen, maybe its the fender flares?
