How could does it get in Seattle?

It can get cold and the rain tends to fog up windows and my defroster/defogger doesn't work

Its been sometime since I've done some mods. Because my hand has held me back however I just got bout a hard cast and I'm now in a splint smh. Anyhow this weekend my dad was my right hand man literally and we got a few stuff done.

First we started with my rear brakes and rotors I also decided to paint my calipers.

Unfortunately we weren’t able to get to the front but we’ll save that for another day. But here’s the finished product!

It was about time to get rid of the last chrome part so I decided to put a roll pan on. I’ll get it painted In the summer when I get more money but here’s what it looks like.

Chrome bumper

Lastly I have no pictures but my check engine soon light came on and I had to replace 2 O2 sensors.

FYI my rear rotors are from my dad he had some hanging around with less than 1k miles on them and the brakes where from auto zone because I forgot to order some smh


I also painted the screws that went on my roof rack black

Your finished product of the rear brakes, rotors and your painted calibers look awesome..Also love the rear of your Hoe..The black paint on your Hoe looks to be in excellent shape..It would be hard to find a 2001 Tahoe looking that good in my neck of the woods.

Thanks! Its crazy because before I got new brakes I was used to mine that were overdue and now the comparison is CRAZY .Its not the Best paint considering dude before me used it as his construction truck smh it has a few dings and paint scratches. But when summertime comes when I have free time I plan on wet sanding the major parts.

Finally I had enough time to replace my water pump but I forgot to take a after pic.

Good to know that there is another youngin on the forum with me, lol we gotta stick together! I'm only 18, have been modding my Hoe since last spring when I first got it at the age of 17 as well! Looking good so far, definitely keeping my eye on this one.

I know it’s been awhile but I’ve had a busy summer getting ready for college and all. Anyways I changed out my front bumper because it was peeling and bought a painted black one and put on awhile back. I’ve also switched my LED parking lamp to regular tinted ones. Lastly the last thing I did was change the DRL to red LED giving it the aggressive look. I’m low key mad because I can’t take my hoe with me to college but wish me luck!

Watch that the cops don't hassle you for the red leds.

 

[Rocket Man]

^^^Those red DRL's are illegal af so you might want to rethink that unless you like cops having a reason to pull you over. Good luck in school!

 

[SmileB44Death]

Yea I’m stupid and didn’t think about that until after when I get back I’m switching them to LED and will also buy led fog lights @Rocket Man @Tonyrodz
