Fresh350's 2004 Tahoe Build Thread

[fresh350]

Gonna be a sweet build. Lucky it came with nice wheels, don't have to worry about finding and spending money on some.
Going for the sporty look, gonna get a SS bumper ? Roll pan?
Maybe the vette badge in the very middle after you shave the wiper.

Thanks! I've been checking out the SS front bumper and I'm not sure how I feel about the rollpan... I like the stock rear bumper paint matched but I've seen some really nice Tahoes with rollpans

I didn't think about shaving the window button along with the wiper but now that has me thinking haha...

Ss front bumper and Denali/ Esky rear bumper. I think the rear bumper from those trucks can look classy and sporty. That's the great thing about those bumpers. Loosing the rear wiper and button will be cool. I have to paint my tail gate so I am deleting the wiper but keeping the button.

Here's a good example of a SS tahoe

I didn't even realize they were different haha... More decisions to make I guess. I was gonna leave the button also but I kinda like the idea of shaving it

Well... Looks like mine will be the silver version of that haha. That truck is beautiful and pretty much exactly where I wanted to go

In the end yours will probably be better. More power built much stronger. I read up on the Gibbs taho. It's still a factory taho with a supercharger. Looks fantastic tho.

Thanks! Hopefully I can throw a decent amount of power to it without any issues. I've been reading about them... That is a really cool truck

Some more work on her today... I picked up some eagle eyes led's and did my puddle lights cause they barely worked in the first place.

I did them this way for anyone that wants an easy/quick way to hook them up...

First I took them out of the mirror and took the bulbs out so it was just empty housings



Then I took a 3/8 drill bit and drilled a hole in the center of the housing


Now you would think that the opening isn't big enough for the nut but it just fits


Now just thread the eagle eye into the housing and hook up the wiring (keep in mind which wire in the mirror is positive and negative)

Then you have this roughly a half hour later...


Also note... The one housing was slanted and not straight up and down so you will have to trim some of the inside housing to make the eagle eye sit flush

Some more goodies I found...


2008 TBSS intake, throttle body and rails. Just need my X-Link and little odds and ends and I'll be good to go

Sleeper could be a winner. Not wrapped in the badge personally, but if you love it, then rock it. Looking forward to more progress. Need to see those Eagle Eyes at night. Be super bright for sure!
