It's been getting some work done. Here is a small list of what I've done in the last two months:

New master cylinder, new calipers, R1 drilled / slotted rotors, Hawk pads, Jasper class 1 350, new BB tune, Volant intake, new BFG ATs (315/70/17). I got a great deal on the tires and couldn't say no.

It's nice to have it back alive. However the tahoe makes it feel really under powered. That extra 100hp and 130ish TQ makes a HUGE difference.

I also took the best old tire off the suburban and mounted it on an extra ATX teflon wheel I had so now both truck have an almost matching wheel and a full size spare.

And on a slightly truck related note: added a 10'x30' driveway addition to park the tahoe so it's out of the way.

A couple crappy driveway pictures
Fenders are 42" all around (tahoe is 45.5" front, 44" rear)

Thanks guys. I'm so glad to be done working on it. Now it needs a good detail but it is getting that soon.

James, yeah the intake has a nice sound to it. Anything is better than stock. My K&N is louder than this one since it is completely open

not yet, some light little stuff but nothing real. This was actually my answer to a minivan. The family grew, the 2dr wasn't a great option so I started looking for a yukon xl or a suburban. This seats eight and can go play too. My wife really likes this too. So do the boys. The baby always points to it and says da-da. Then he hears it pull into school and the teacher says he runs for the door or window everytime.
