Hey guys,
I'm Josh. I'm 27 years old and I live in Sussex County, NJ. Im the Public Works Supervisor for a small municipality. I have always been a loyal GM fan (I've had a bunch of lifted and stock 88-98 style trucks and 2 door Tahoes) and I am mechanically inclined; I've built several small/big block Chevys and LSx motors.

I currently drive a 2005 2500HD and my wife has a 2002 Tahoe Z71. I also have one of my first trucks, a 1998 K2500. Both trucks started as projects and have been completely rebuilt. In 2013 I redid the entire Tahoe - front end from control arms out is new, lifted it, rebuilt the transmission and rear, changed all the speakers/head unit, brake lines, accessories on the motor, etc.

I'm looking to purchase a 2010+ Tahoe this year but I haven't decided for sure that I want to let go of her Tahoe just yet.

The Tahoe is actually going in for new tires tomorrow!

Thanks guys.
The truck is at the point I rather need to replace the inner & outer rockers, I'm starting to see some rust bubbles on the inner wheel wells in the rear door jambs and a spot on the rear quarter. The bumpers are also starting to rust.

While it's all within my skill level, it would probably be a grand in panels and bumpers and then I'd feel obligated to paint the truck. I'm not sure I want to sink 3-4 grand into it when I could put that towards a newer style Tahoe.

The truck is clean for it's mileage... I wanna say it's right around 235k miles but not much is original anymore lol.

I'm sure you know, these trucks run a long time.
