Blurred's 04 Tahoe Z71 build - Mr. Greenly Greenerson

[TheAutumnWind]

What's a install time on a servo? 30 minutes ?

More time was spent getting the rig on jackstands, and drinking beer than doing the actual install.

Looks like it is possibly a Duraflex bumper cover. What size fogs are those, damn they look extra big. Lol

Hadn't ever seen or heard of this before, and now I want one, lol.

sorry my earlier reply said all glass, which I meant it's all hand fiberglassed in. It's the factory bumper , cap, and valance molded together . This cannot be bought.

Totally digging this build. I followed your lowered Colorado build on 355nation....nice to see you over here.

I may reach out to you if you are interested in possibly doing a set of those headlights.....

So not much of an update because of lack of time and not being home to actually do work... But...

I won TOTM for February. Yay me.

I have solidly decided that I need to repaint this thing and upgrade the engine, meaning there will be some kind of forced induction. That is my next goal with this turtle like structure.

I keep seeing videos and photos of these things with some decent power under the hood and I feel like that is a must in order to drive one.

I think you are on the road to the super charger like Red Rocket.
Congrats on TOTM man!!

I've looked at supercharging it, but I like the driving characteristics of a turbo based on what I have driven in the past.

But I will say, I won't say it that it's off the table.

found some things that are similar to this, but yeah, you still have to be able to attach it / fiberglass it together

well crap... found this image on the internet and only have access to ms paint, hence the exceptional quality of the "chop"..

Don't know if I want the HD front end anymore...

100% fabricated. Found a shell that has the lower portion with a phantom grille ($400) but can't find the top piece.
Get a second bottom piece and turn it upside down for the top piece.
Ive looked into it and it would look so killer on a tahoe.

Yeah, love the idea of the phantom grill with the boxed sides to give it an old-school muscle look to the front end.

Maybe one day that will happen. Unfortunately, time is not prevalent at the moment so the HD front end will have to do. Especially since I have everything in the garage to do it.

I just ordered the paint, which will hopefully get here by next week. I'll hopefully be able to have everything prepped and ready for paint by the time it shows up.

I was also able to snag an Escalade roof rack, rear c pillars and console lid as well as an OEM efan.

Going to spray the rack a satin black to match the roof. Hopefully remove the XM antenna as well. I'll be able to spray the pillars once the paint gets here.

Console lid is in but I don't have any photos.

I thought we turned on the ports for the efan, but I am unsure at the moment since the tune happened a while ago. Gotta research that before I slap that in.

That's an update, I guess.

Here's some shots of the parts from the yard

And the console lid cleaned up as well as the start of the front bumper.

 

[MadDogDelpho]

Ooh! Aah!

 

[05Single]

I prefer my console life where it dips down. Keep my phone there away from drinks in the holder.

Rack And Pillars Are A win.

Definitely excited for the bumper.

Cut openings in the side and install 2017 silverado led fogs

Get a non z71 valance and glass the fog light hole in.

One shot of the bumper as it sits now.

One of the now black roof rack.

And one of the Tahoe as I was trying to pull the bolts to put the rack on... downpour.

 

[blurred]

Roof rack is installed. One looks like crap but will eventually be fixed when I respray the roof.

And the console lid is in.

And the end result of this weekend... I prefer it without the rack but a necessity is a necessity.
