Blacked-Out-Tahoe's 2004 Tahoe Build

[Blacked-out-Tahoe]

Well I figured its time I started a build thread. I started with s 2004 tahoe base modle with an LM7 and 22" rims and stock height. Been doing a lot of work to it so ill play catch up to where I am today. First thing we did is put in some pillar gauges, oil and trans temp and a wide band air to fuel, auto meter phantoms, ad the next thing we did was halos, LED bumper lights and 8k HIDs an fogs.

Heres when I got it.


First few things i did to it were smoked headlights and gauges.

Next we fixed my stepper motor in the dash, added blue leds and a white overlay. More recently started putting leds in the headlight switch, 4x4, fog light, and over head heater control, and working on the window switches. Then put a custom Flex-a-lite aluminum radiator with dual 16" s blade fans and a trans and oil cooler

Next up we did 22" KMC Slides, belltech 3/4 drop in the rear, spohn control arms, fiberglass roll pan and LED tail lights, and Doug Thorley headers with no cats and DUI livewires.

Onto what were currently working on. Rebuilt both diffs and put in 4.30 gears, true trac and yukon shafts in the rear, DJM 3" drop control arms in the front along with DJM uppers. Also FFR Fab custom chromoly/hiem joint tie rods. And took the park brake pedal out since we took it out.

Thanks this phase of the build is not quite done. Hoping next weekend to get it back on the ground. After that it will be either 1 of 2 things first. A full roll cage with 3 race seats and 5 points or a custom fuel cell swap and get rid of the factory tank. Any thoughts on the next step?

hey man looking good, and now you got me quite curious, two things that i have in my mind,

1. why did you get rid of the parking brake ?

2. What this mod you did to get rid of the bump stop? any more details on this..


Looking good man, what's your set back on

Gears, True-Trac, Yukon shafts ? and where did you get them from...

2. What this mod you did to get rid of the bump stop? any more details on this..

It's called the "Free travel mod"

Basically your removing about 5 inches from the bump stops to allow your lowered suspension to travel further when lowering, or when hitting bumps.
