Hello All,
New here, I live in western ND and spend as much of my summers in the mountains as possible. I purchased my 11 Tahoe at the end of 2018 and got into overlanding and off roading due to a lack of available camping spots during the pandemic over the last couple summers. This is my daily driver and so I’ve been trying to create a balance of off road capabilities, overlanding features, and daily drivability. I do also occasionally tow with this rig and so you could say I’m trying to push the limits of flexibility and practicality here but I’m certain the Tahoe platform can accommodate. I discovered this site while looking for ideas for my build and look forward to learning whatever I can from all of you.
Most of my favorite trails are in the mountains in MT or I spend a lot of time in the National grasslands doing long distance shooting.
Mods so far:
- 3.5” Rough Country Lift and leveling kit
- 33” tires
- Bilstein rear shocks
- 17x9 American racing wheels (painted)
- Tow mirrors
- TruCool 40k trans cooler
- Debadged and removed trim
- removed third row seats
Future plans:
- mishimoto thermostat for trans cooler
- custom bumper/winch
- rock sliders
- custom roof rack and roof top tent
- custom rear bumper
- custom rear mounted spare
- engine swap
- overlanding kitchen and storage setup in cargo area
- modernized stereo electronics
- cell phone booster
- auxiliary power inverter
- engine swap
