Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

[Tonyrodz]

When you gonna 86 the side mouldings?

Can't. Someone painted around them, so there's a ridge-- plus people have no consideration and bang the hell out of your doors when they're parked next to you. They were a little faded, and I hated that plastic silver strip on the lower edge of it, so I dipped it. So much better.

I know how that goes, my 05 Tahoe had a dent under one of them when I removed them

Hey Pete, how're you doing my friend? I hope things are going good, or soon to be good for ya. We miss you on the forums. How's the Riv? Getting up to speed hopefully

thanks man. yeah, soon to be i hope. Rivi is doing well, i drive it a couple times every week. She still needs a LOT of work though, which of course, needs money for parts etc.. But all is well, thanks Tony! Have a Great New Years

I took a ride around the block and it felt so much better. We'll see how it takes dips and bumps. I posted them in the classifieds. Whoever wants them can have them. I also posted a video of them there. Make sure to read the ad to whom ever wants them. I also finally fixed my passenger side fog light's loose wire connection---Hopefully. No pics on that.

EDIT: I also rotated tires, front to back, stayed on the same side tho. Had to since I got a little froggy and burned the rear up a lil.

Nice change out. You did put a fresh coat on those rotors and calipers, right???

Nah. My ride, unfortuneately, is always dirty, bordering on neglect, alot of times. Maybe the coming summer I can freshen a few things up. I was actually pressed for time this weekend. I just noticed a little rust bubble on the passenger side lower rocker, and a rub spot with surface rust on the driver side rocker from the running board. I still need to do the driver side motor mount too. Geez--is anything ever done?
