i saw an obs with the door molding inserts shaved, ss front bumper, roll pan and chrome fender trim removed. looked a lot like the nnbs with all the doors shaved down like that. didn't take any pics or anything, but it looked really good.
welcome. What type of body work did you have in mind? I'd be leary about it unless it is a show truck. Insurance value of these trucks is not much. All us OBS guys spend more money on upgrades than our trucks are worth.

pretty much I am looking at making full size body panels. I will throw some sketches together and post them tomorrow. I'm wanting to widen front of tahoe by 4" either side and include fender flares in the panels themselves. I know the insurance cost is low but I still want to do this lol. also the side mirrors would change to a beefy HD3500 style, with all panels being bolt on.... top to bottom of tahoe

doesnt sound easy and doesnt sound fun.. They sell bolt on mirrors that are the big HD style on ebay. As well as bigger flares. Other that that, its all got to be all custom stuff

I know it has to be custom but seeing as I live in a place that is going to be cold all winter, figured I might as well have some fun doing some projects indoors. I have a guy who is doing a paint job for me next spring, so I have plenty of time. Thanks for info on the mirrors.

You have a 4 door, but some or all of this could work with modifications.

It would take a ton of work to make it look "good". This thing was obviously just thrown together and doesn't even look remotely finished. That said, I really don't think you could make it by hand and have it look any better. I actually like the front end though, pretty cool swap... would look even better with the '07 front end IMO.
These are pretty much the only off the shelf parts I've found like this. Parts like this are a dime a dozen on Toyotas and Rangers, I see them all the time locally here in AZ.

This is more along the lines of what I was thinking. I'm also going to be extending the front fenders by approx. 4" and inserting a 6" Light on either side for increased HID power for driving back roads in the mountains. Let me know what you all think or if y'all have suggestions.

IMO its def different and would look cool in a satin black with all the bolts being gloss black or some military colors but thats some serious fab work it looks kinda cool i would lose the transformer thing tho i think all those yellow comaro guys burned that cute fad out but back to the work i like it i say if your torch cutting welding hand is as steady as your drawing hand and got a vouple hundered bucks i say do it id like to see the finished product
