Well boys...picked up an 08 Tahoe LT today. Leather, 4x4, 70k miles, no navi or anything crazy but a pretty decently loaded truck and all I need to do is throw a navigation unit in it :D super happy...payments are same as my truck, insurance is cheaper and gas is certainly going to be cheaper :D thanks guys

CONGRATULATIONS! Send the pics when you can. :)

Congrats! I wouldn't even think about a 2WD out west in most places since elevation can change so quick.

Please correct me if I"m wrong, but aren't snow chains a big NO NO according to the instruction manual? Has anyone here successfully used chains on their truck?

IDK...but I do know that you won't get up most local SoCal mountains with at least carrying them with you
