My new 97 4DR Tahoe LT

Whats going on everyone? Long time lurker here and finally picked up my new pride and joy.

The vehicle belonged to my good buddy who was the original owner and took extremely great care of this bad boy. He has done everything seen and listed so far. All I have done is filled it up with gas and put about 150 miles on it this past weekend. I have a work vehicle so this girl will only be driven on weekends when the wifes car doesnt suffice.

It has every single service record since it was purchased new and runs amazingly well. Does not burn any oil and is as quiet as it was the day it rolled out the showroom floor. It has 172xxx miles on it now and am expecting many many more as I continue to own it.

One of the first things I would love to do it have a Black Bear Tune done to it since I have read great things about them.

1997 Chevy Tahoe LT
Full Leather/Power
Nice upgraded sound system. All speakers/amp/sub/deck/etc.
Flowmaster Exhaust System
K&N Intake filter
Brand new Toyo M/T Open Country Tires and Renegade Wheels

My short/long term plans are:
Rear Tail Guards (Not sure if they will work with Barn Doors? Any input would be greatly appreciated)
New Headlights (Near future)
HD Front Grille (Possibility)
Towing Mirrors (Possibility)
Full Mossy Oak (Or similar) Seat covers (Very Soon)
Steering wheels cover (stock feels too small in my hand) (Very Soon)
Alarm/Remote Start System (Will be in a couple weeks)
Bigger sub (Has a 10' now but may throw a 12 or 15") (Possibly)
Lift (When I wear the current tires out) (Long Term)
Bigger Tires (When I wear the current tires out) (Long Term)
Roof Rack with Light Bar (Spring/Summer)
Im sure there will be more as I look and learn

Thanks Don! I appreciate it. Yours is the one I show everyone at work haha. Was actually getting the PlastiDip bug from you last night. How is your experience with it so far? I would love to do it to mine as well. Only thing I am concerned about is the oxidation it has on the hood. Not sure if itll hold to that well or not.

BTW, I was actually gonna try and find the lights you have on the front. Maybe you can shoot me a couple links to some of the stuff you picked up. Was looking into the HD grille as well and a few other things. You have any idea on if the Westin Light Guards will work with the barn doors?

Thanks man

As for the Plastidip Not sure how it will fair if you have a rust spot , but by your pics I couldn't see that as being a problem with yours . It has held up great so far no peeling , bubbling or fade , Im really happy with it , I will be doing it over again however with the DYC kit they sell online It has better results.

As for the Tail-light Gaurds Im not Entirley sure but I think there is some fitment issues that might have to be addressed , I would call the company just to be sure though.

I can provide you with links ect if your interested , what ones do you need?

as for the lights do you mean the roof or in my bumper?

 

[Ballaholyk84]

Right on man. No rust what so ever on this girl. I was going to go the DYC way as well just to do a good job.

I had a feeling about the guards. Ill have to call em up.

Yeah headlights and bumpers. I really like the look of that front end. Also where did you pick up the HD Grille? Any fitment issues with it?

Did you also PlastDip your bumpers or did you use something else? Was looking to go Black bumpers as well. May have em powder coated though. I gotta hit up my buddy.

 

[Donnie Yukonie]

I had my bumpers powder coated first , But I plastidipped over them, The grill Ill have to do some digging for I have a link somewhere .

As for the headlights I got these this is just an example you can find them Cheaper
