Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

Gonna pull the tires so you can get the back of the beads? Looks like they’re rusted there at the lips.

Nah, I tried to get in there with the tool I've been using. It got the surface scaley bits off. I'm just gonna spray bomb them. Leaving the tires on for when the new motor is in--You know--for testing the new motor . They're LT's, Wrangler with Kevlar, so I'm really curious how smokeable they'll be.

Still sanding and painting the ppv like rims.
I can't find any reasonable ppv caps--
Not including the GMC center--I'm not sure if I like the look.
Opinions?
Also--all I had was flat black--which looked like crap. Luckily I had some clear.
The good stuff too. 1 more wheel to go.

Seeing if it'll take a charge.
Brand new in the GM box!

Nah, a friend gave it to me a few yrs ago. Went through super storm Sandy.

That's when the good stuff was still being made.
I actually have a brand new Centech in the box, but I know how to work this one lol.

Yup. Still need to verify it's the right size for the Hoe. It's Neutral, which is light tan--ish. Sux you can't open the hatch if the battery is dead.

The newer chargers are more likely to revive that battery, especially if it desulfates. The older chargers were for the older batteries, when they were all lead acid with open systems and caps where you could top them off.

Makes sense. Maybe I should go swap the charger out.
