What is the offset for your wheels? That is the look I like.

OEM Cargo Cover!

Found a OEM Cargo Shade in the garage while looking for something else. Been searching for awhile. This one came out of our 2000 Tahoe. Wrong color but it fits!

I am not really sure to be honest. I listed what brand they are on here somewhere. I just went to www.TireRack.com to get them.

Pulled the Alpine Radio unit out and put the factory one back in. Became unhappy with it after a few months.

Some minor updates over the past couple months. I had to have both front hubs replaced since one of them had worn out and the dealer factory warrantied the other one at no cost!

I did try to check the hubs myself but couldn't get to them but did find that I was missing a sway-bar link for who knows how long.

Passenger Side


So I needed new ones. Dealer helped me out once again. Looks like something I could have done which would have saved a few bucks but they had it is the air already for the new front hubs.




Truck rides much better, handles better, and even turns better!

I was getting condensation in the headlights and I couldn't seem to seal them any which way I tried so I removed them. That, and I couldn't find a good matching rear set that would fit a Tahoe with Cargo Doors.



Just going to have to keep the stock lights.

I had the K&N Intake kit in for a couple years now and while I swapping my headlights I noticed that the intake tube was sitting higher than it should be turned out that it had shifted and wasn't even fully attached anymore. I had to pull it off and make some adjustments to the radiator fan shroud to stop the rubbing.

As you can somewhat see it is rubbing hard of the hoses.


I gave it small clearance but to re-align it on my own was a little tough so after a week of driving it, the tube is rubbing again. Going to have to take another look at re-aligning it.

Sucks about the lights, but still coming along nicely

Thanks, I am getting condensation in the factory bumper lens now. I can't win but these I can deal with. The aftermarket ones were way too noticeable!

So I had a friend help me re-adjust the intake and this time we got it to line up correctly. I also shaved the fan shroud a bit more to give it some extra clearance to avoid rubbing! So far so good!
