Project URV

[STEALTH]

Well it has been a while since Ive been on here but now that I have purchased another Tahoe I figure it was time to post back up. About this time last year i sold my first Tahoe that I got when I was 16.



Sold it for this Land Cruiser, fully built for rock crawling.



Then I sold the LC for a 4Runner.



Which I ended up putting in a ditch.



After that came the Tacoma, which turned out to be a little to small for me, I only had it about 2 months.



And now Im back into the Chevy family with another Tahoe, this one is a 2004 LS 2wd, my first one was a 2002 LT 4x4. Im very happy to be back in a Tahoe.



Not even 20 min after it, it was getting new tires. I pulled the 285s off my 4Runner before it got taken so I put them on the Tahoe.



Plans for this one is to make it a URV: Undercover Rescue Vehicle. Im a volunteer fire fighter as well as a licensed Advanced EMT so I like to keep gear with me at all time, so this will be a good platform for that. Ill update as the mods come along.

I like the 285's

Thanks, I never liked the look of 265s on such big SUVs.

Also got some fresh tint on the front windows this morning.

Got a little more done last night, installed the my old radio while I wait for my new one to arrive and I also got my siren speaker and controller in as well.







Just enough room for the glovebox to open.



Next on the agenda is to hunt down some of these wheels, or the chrome/brushed ones and make them black.

Finished up a few things here recently.

Installed my radio, Motorola CDM1550, these are nice in that they come with a remote head for the radio which makes mounting them so much easier.



Also put some of my lights in
