Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

[Tonyrodz]

You can put some blue window tint over the PRND321 and odometer screens to make them more closely match the blue LEDs. I bought a roll from WalMart just for a couple of 1"x3" pieces for my S10 cluster. One layer made them blue enough for mine and may be enough for yours.

This is the only pic I have of the tinted screens. I don't know how well this pic will contrast on your computer as it was taken a long time ago when phone cameras were still new. But you'll get the idea:

That looks really good. I've got to look for that tint. What section did they have it in?

Automotive. I still see tint in the accessories section at the WalMarts in my area, but I haven't looked for blue. I'm pretty sure I still have the rest of that roll somewhere. I don't know if it "ages" and would still be good or not. It's been rolled up in the box for at least 12 years. If you can't find any new, I'll see if I can find mine and test a piece on some glass. It's probably fine, especially for such a purpose. If it's still good, I can mail you some. A few envelope-sized pieces would give you plenty to play with. It would make a huge difference and look great on your gauges.

I've never wanted bigger then 20" rims but I saw an ad for 22's that was close to me and a good price. Needed two tires and the chrome was peeling, but again, price was right so I grabbed them. This was the best one. In this situation, plastidip is your friend. I picked up a few cans, along with some glossifier for some shine. So much nicer. Plus I hate chrome. I had to pick up some splines lugs to fit the small lug holes and I was set. Has the right look. I just have to figure out what I can use for center caps. The rears are 305 45 22, which are a hair wider then the fronts, which are 305 40 22. Has a nice look to it and a nice stance.
I like it, and that's all that matters!

Awesome! Sounds good. I'd appreciate that. Years ago I used blue plastic wrap, like Saran wrap for food, and put it under a bulb for my fish tank. Looked good, and blue! Lol

I'm liking the wheels more , can't wait to see them with center caps. Dip them black like the rims and they should look great.

There's no name on the rims, so I guess I should measure the center hole and go from there.

Awesome thread man!! Glad to see you put all that cool stuff down for others to see and enjoy. Nice work.

Thx. I tried. There's a few small things I might've forgotten but the bulk of it is here. I've been waiting for you to find it! Lol

Haha I know. I was surprised for sure, but excited to see it finally come to fruition. Nicely done man.
