I guess you could say I'm new here, but I've been following the conversations for quite a while, as I began planning this project.
I picked up this mostly-factory 2002 Tahoe LS for next-to-nothing back in October, with plans for it to be a daily driver AND a much-needed outlet/project. It won't be anything too extreme when I'm done, but I can't just leave it alone and blend in with the local soccer moms.
So far, I've taken care of a few mechanical needs, like leaky gaskets, a MAF sensor cleaning, new belts, new rear-hatch supports, new water pump, and tinted all the glass. I also de-badged it and removed the moldings.
I've got a new Escalade dash cluster coming in this week and just ordered a black Z71 air deflector and round fogs. Then tonight I placed a big suspension order, consisting of:
- DJM Front 3" Drop Arms
- DJM Upper Control Arms
- Front & Rear Belltech SP Shocks
- Front & Rear DJM Swaybars
- DJM Rear Hardware Kit
- Short Bumpstops
- TB Rear Springs
- Spohn Rear Bar Kit
- Rear Helper Bags
Next step will be new shoes. I'm still undecided between 20s & 22s, but I'll be deciding on that & ordering in the next few days. Any input you all have on that, feel free to post up here.
As you can see, I've got a lot of work ahead of me over the next few weeks. Can't wait to dig into it!
Later plans include some minor TLC for the body, a new grille, completely new/rehabbed interior adding leather, and who knows what else. I look forward to posting pics & such as I go along.
