Bought this lil beauty the other week after selling my 2006 F150 STX.

It's a 1997 Chevy Tahoe LS w/ leather, power everything, Procomp lift, and a bunch of other goodies (dual exhaust, tv's, mood lighting, wood grain, sweet stains from god only knows what in the back). Oh and she only has 89,*** on the clock. :party33:

Sorry for the crappy pics. My iPhone doesn't do her justice. Found it rotting away on the side of the road. Picked it up for dirt cheap because nothing seemed to work (AC, power locks, power seat, stereo). Took it to my buddies garage and found out the condenser had a hole in it the size of a golf ball and someone had tried "fixing" it with that stop leak nonsense. So after replacing the condenser, compressor, & lines I now have super cold air conditioning. Seat & locks were fixed by just repairing the plug for them that had bent/busted pins. The stereo wasn't so easy. Whoever installed it originally was a moron and ran almost every wire in a place that it got pinched. So we spent an entire day rewiring it from the dash to the rear speakers. Now everything works and it wakes the neighbors.

Still have a few things I want to find for it. Center console is missing the front pocket (not sure what actually goes in there), the roof console is missing the middle piece (I think it's for sunglasses?), the surround for the gauges/radio/climate control is cracked so I want to find a new one of those as well. Other than that it's pretty damn clean inside and out and has low miles. But enough of this nonsense, onto the pics!!! I will get pics of the interior in the next day or so when I clean it up from the rewiring fiasco.

The paint? As in the color? If so then yeah it definitely wasn't my first choice, or even a choice for that matter, but I couldn't pass up the deal I got on the truck. The taillight covers are probably going to get removed eventually. They are damn sturdy though. I couldn't make them budge and I'm not a small person hahaha.

Very nice

Thank you!

Sadly my truck isn't the big dog in the yard anymore. This thing makes my LIFTED truck look small as shit. :sadpace:

After driving over 40+ hours this past weekend :van: I came home from work motivated to fix something on my daily. The spare tire holder was covered in some crazy sticky nonsense that was all over the back of the truck (spare tire is mounted in the rear compartment for those that aren't aware). Not only was it covered in this crap but the rear tire never sat properly and would rattle worse than a baby on speed! So I cleaned it up and then sanded it down and sprayed it black. Don't mind the red in the pic I grabbed the wrong can. :doh2: Re-installed everything and now that mother don't make a peep!!!

Yes it got some dirt on it but that just adds to my motif! And yes my paint skills suck
