Here's my work in process..thanks to jk

[PavementPounder]

After running mine for a year i got the urge to start modding. Especially after I saw j/k's and also seeing Sin's tahoe at gmfs. What do you think so far?

black bowtie
http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu98/01tahoess/bowtie.jpg
I have an SS bumper cover, HD hood, Paintable grille shell, and rear bumper cover getting painted right now and should be done Wednesday!!!
I'm still pretty torn about the lowering 2/3-3/5 but pretty sure I'm going 3/5.
Suggestions, comments?

[3blackchevys]

looks good, bowtie stands out nice

[PavementPounder]

i've never painted anything until that so I used plasticote just to see how it would go and it turned out nice. its like a flat black. I'm going to throw some clear on it to see if it shines up at all. Best thing is if I screw it up the plasticoat will peel right off

yeah, i painted the front and rear bowtie's on my trailblazer black and will do the same on the tahoe. i will use clearcoat afterwards when the tahoe gets done. looks a little to flat on the tb without it.

[JKmotorsports]

Looking good. Can't wait to see it with the rest of the goodies on there man. All that stuff is going to make it look like a completely different truck.

[NJ04HOE]

Looks good...off to a great start.
I would do the 3/5 cuz it would suck to do the 2/3 and not be happy.

-WARNING-
Once you start modding it's addictive!

Thanks, after you put on the hd hood I had to start. Have you ever seen sin's tahoe? Hell I think he may be in tx also?

Is his a maroon colored tahoe with an HD hood?

[tast101]

looks good. I guess I haven't played with the crack pipe because I don't want to get addicted, prolly why I haven't started doing things to my truck.

[PavementPounder]

yea, it's just like mine. He's got esky running boards, handles, racks, and third brake light.

nice progress, I'd like an HD hood but you gotta cut stuff on the gmc.

[JKmotorsports]

http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu98/01tahoess/48.jpg

Damn, I love that 'hoe. I'd trade mine for that. Is that the other guy you were talking about? I've seen it before.

[Mikey SBF]

that HD hood is just bad ass, im in love, too bad you gotta cut it to fit it on the yukon

[rms25thta]

Is that HD hood from just a regular 2500HD truck??? It looks sweet!

[Max]

the 99-02 chevy 2500 trucks iirc.

[Yuke2K]

the 99-02 chevy 2500 trucks iirc.

Correct.

[Rollin Thunder]

JK you need to get some xenarc headlights.

[PavementPounder]

Jk, yea that's the guy I was talking about. Look him up on gmfs. He's actually selling it right now but never listed what he wanted for it. I'm sure I remember he's from houston. Sin was his username. Thanks for the comments guys!

[PavementPounder]

JK you need to get some xenarc headlights.

gotta link? trying to decide what to do with mine

[Rollin Thunder]

He is an active vendor on z71ts.com with many happy members using them. If they had a headlight that fit one of my vehicles I would own them in a second.

[HitandRunDriver]

About the blue leds, how is it that Jk got his whole cluster list and your voltmeter and oil pressure monitor arent bright?

[tast101]

The camera is making it look brighter. Longer exposure means more light is taken in, the only way to get better pics at night.

[jomulk56]

Nice progress. Can't wait to see the pics after you get all the other stuff on it.

[bwilly20]

can't wait to see it with the "goodies" installed, keep the pics comin man.

[fatnlowtahoe504]

glad u got progress going, lookin pretty sweet

[road1will]

damn i want a HD hood

[Timmy]

looks like a nice ride, bro

[PavementPounder]

thank you, thank you. I'm enjoying it but my wallet hates me

[dub02gpgt]

on those xenarc headlights, if you have done the 6 high mod in the fuse panel do you need the $50 relay? Also, is there seriously no extra wires to run to make that all work?

[Rollin Thunder]

NO and YEs.

If you did the 6 high mod and all your lights stay on then not needed.

It seriously could not be easier than changing a light bulb. You pull your housing out, unplug your wires, plug the stock wires (the low and high) in to the low and high port, put the headlamp back in using existing mounting poles, and your done. YOu have legel HIDS.

[dub02gpgt]

JK and that Maroon tahoe are the very reason why i want to get an HD hood. This modding shit is seriously addictive. i think there should be a hotline for it

I would be there number one caller. Please help me. I need to mod but I have no extra money. Help me before I put it on a credit card!!

[DarkTahoe00]

Looking real good Man keep it up! LOL the SHIT is so ADDICTIVE!

[dub02gpgt]

anyone know what headlight/corner light combo the maroon tahoe is running?

[danimalmax]

anyone know what headlight/corner light combo the maroon tahoe is running?

im pretty sure the headlights are xenarx x2020s, i have the same thing

It's that maroon tahoe for sale. Here's your chance.

If you want a shiny/clear look to a painted bow tie you need to remove it, clean the foil/paint off the back, then paint it from behind. There's a right way and a wrong way to do it. I can find the details if anyone is interested.

[AtomicHoe094]

nice truck man.. coming along very well..

im interested!!

[Drgnblood]

+1 on that....PM me

[withac]

im interested!!

I'll track that down and get back to you guys.

[PavementPounder]

I'd say that Sin's tahoe is worth 18k but I bet it's going to be hard to get right now.

[Jamison]

The problem would be what the book is and what the buyer has in cash on top of loan value. It's a bada$$ ride though!

[withac]

im interested!!

[PavementPounder]

I can't stop staring at it. I pulled it out of the garage this morning just to look at it through the window.

[PavementPounder]

I just about killed a cat today. One the neighbors dam cats got into my garage and I caught him just as he jumped on my hood.

[nc6600]
