Just picked up this new to me Suburban today!

One previous owner, 99,000 original miles, zero rust.

Here's the old build log of my Tahoe - http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/2002-lt-music-daily-one-story-ends-and-another-begins.95324/

mom - 2004 Denali w/ 160k
dad - 2001 Suburban w/ 109k
sister - 1999 S10 Blazer w/ 150k
me - 2002 Tahoe w/ 178k
me - 2004 Suburban w/ 99k

I have a lot of parts from the Tahoe that I'll be pulling, but here's the tentative list moving forward:

1) Have tint put on (5% on all windows, 35% on windshield)
2) Remove the Running Boards
3) Remove front bug guard
4) Remove badges / emblems
5) Cold-Air-Intake
6) Aftermarket exhaust (thinking Flowmaster 40)
7) Swap the new H3 Hummer rims and 285/75/r16 tires
8) Either Air Lift 1000s or Z71 Springs in the rear
9) Pioneer AVH 4900BS Double Din
10) Pioneer Backup Camera
11) 2 SSA Evil 6.5s per door, plus new SSA Tweeters
12) Taramps 400x4 channel amp somewhere
13) Big 3 Upgrade
14) HD Hood Swap
15) Z71 Roof Rack
16) Tinted Tail Lights
17) New Headlights
18) Brush Guard
19) Tow Mirrors
20) Potentially Plasti-dip the whole vehicle Black (not sure on this, gotta see how the tint and new rims look on the blue body)

Probably missing some stuff, but this should be a good start point

Let the mods begin:popcorn:.

Yessir >:) super excited to have this fresh canvas!

here are some more pictures as she sits currently

Has cloth interior, with the 3rd seat in the front row, which I LOVE.

I'd been looking to grab one of these from junkyards or craigslist forever, but they all seem to sell for $400+ in Michigan.

Hopefully I'll have the running boards removed tonight, and be able to start working on debadging it.

Nice find and love the fleet of trucks. Don't tell me though that you do not have a Tech2 though to help work on all of them. hehehe

What's a Tech2? :eek:

Crying tears of joy I hope! It's probably my favorite part of the truck lol.

Anyways, didn't get what I thought I would get done today.

Working on getting the Tahoe back to stock so I can sell it ASAP

Removed the HD hood, and swapped tires and rims between the vehicles.

The new Suburban needs rear brakes, but we decided to do them later since it was a hot muggy day.

Got the new vehicle insured and with legal plates, so tomorrow I'll be calling around to find a place with a quick turnaround time on tint

Pulled the Spectre 9900 CAI today and will swap it eventually.

Gonna swap grills too? Hoe is dipped. It'll save you some time.

nah, the first times I did Plasti-Dip on the Tahoe were very learning oriented.

at first I only did the bottom half of the grill, then I went back and did the top, so there's some weird bubbling and disconnect in the middle

plus I didn't realize the importance of layers, so if I went to remove it, it'd probably be a pain in the ass

whoever buys the truck can take care of that:p

in other news, I guess I got lucky last time and found the only shop in West Michigan that'll do windshield tint

I just called 11 different places and none of them will touch 35% tint on the windshield for liability reasons, telling me stuff like it's a felony

guess it's time to go back to my mom and pop shop and wait 4 days again
