What should I do?

[02_Tahoe]

just want some input from others to have different ideas on what to do next. Right now my mods include, lift with 33s and 18x10s, flowmaster super 10, 2 12" subs, kenwood door speakers, Sony headunit. I know I'll get debadge and demold and I do plan on doing that, also don't want to take off steps do to a rust spot. So ideas on what I should do next?

Should def take care of that rust spot first. They don't call it cancer for anything! Spreads like wildfire.

You can kinda see it in the pic under the rear door. The guy I bought it from had it sitting in his yard for over a year without it moving so for that to be literally the only rust, I can't complain. Best part is I found some sort of nest in the hole

If it has 3.42s consider regearing to 4.30 and a custom tune.

Just spitballing...color match black plastics all around Tahoe. LED interior lights. Esky rear vents and roof rack. Upgrade headlights (Depos if don't want HID) and bumper lights since tails are done (you mentioned in your signature). Truck is looking good. Tune is always good. HD hood or cowl hood? The list is endless really, but since you asked...

Lower it lol.

Lol, all great mods BTW.

HD hood, headlights, maybe a lightbar or two , some more off-road looking steps, maybe a grillguard or pushbar, colormatch, etc. etc. The list goes on and on for these trucks lol.

I think when it gets warmer I'll go to a local junkyard and pull the door handles off another Tahoe because I want to color match them myself, I found a thread on how to color match. They sell the led interiors on amazon as a package don't they? BBP is coming near me in May so I might try to get an in person tune. I keep looking around on Craigslist for an HD hood but can't seem to find one. And I assume I should look on Craigslist for the esky parts? Unless there is a website you guys get them on

Sometimes I see a nice lowered Tahoe and wish I went that way but I like the lifted look more

I'm getting headlights soon and I'm thinking about copying you with the led cubes as fogs

I have 3.73s and I want to go to 4.10s but I heard it was really expensive

Prices vary a lot by location. And it can get expensive if you also upgrade the carrier which is usually a good idea.

IMO the jump from 3.73s to 4.10s isn't worth the cost. 4.10s were a stock option, and you're running larger tires than stock... thus upgrading to 4.10s is like running an under geared stock truck. So i normally recommend using 4.10 as the stock baseline and upgrade from there, with 4.30s being a good option.

If you decide to regear, youll need a tune regardless. If you get a black bear tune they'll update the tune for gears at a later date for free. Might as well do the tune now, reap the benefits, and then that's less future costs to consider when thinking of regearing.

HD hood just have to keep in the hunt.

Esky parts. There were a few things for sale in the classifieds the vents and rack recently. Dig through there first.

eBay is always a good place for those parts.

Yours looks good lifted. I love mine lowered but it will never see dirt so it is perfect. Maybe one of each later.

Color matching those small parts is pretty easy.

Prep work is key.

I got all my paint from automotivetouchup.com

Spray cans and quarts for bigger stuff that I took to the shop.

Interior LEDs on eBay or Amazon for cheap and easy swaps and they have the correct bulbs. Of course you spend more money at superbrightleds.com or vleds if you want.

This should keep you busy for a while and digging around these threads will drain more $$ than you expected. Good luck man. Looking good.

Advance auto sells duplicolor and they have my paint code, but if you got yours off that site I'll go with that because yours looks good. Do the esky parts fit right in without any modifications?

How many times will BBP retune for free, is only free if I have the autocal?

 

[Fosscore]

I have not used Duplicolor but see a lot of guys use it and being able to get it right now without shipping cost is probably worth it.

Esky parts are a direct fit as is the HD hood.

There's no limit to the tune updates when you purchase the Autocal system.

Yeah either way is good, I like lifted ones too. I was just messin with you. You could always do what I'm doing and get a blower.
