Fosscore's 2006 Tahoe Build Thread

[73impala]

HAHA! Says the guy from Margate!!! I was waiting for someone to chime in. I lived in Pompano 'till I was 5 and my dad was a cop there until '06. We moved to Coral Springs in '88. I lived there until I moved here in Ocala in '03. Mom n Dad jumped ship when he retired in '06.

There's plenty of places worse than Pompano for sure.... just not my favorite place. I have heard they've tightened up city ordinances in order to keep the run-down properties at bay. They'd been needing to do that for a long time.

Lol I always tell people I am from Coral Springs cause it's just easier. I like it because it is more laid back.

Lets see some more pics @Fosscore Maybe one day when mine is lifted we can meet up for a shoot.

Random question. Are the esky roof racks 02-06 the same as the 07-13/14. Mounting points the same?

Noticed my 3rd brake light had a light out the other night. Hit up Amazon Prime and a new one was on my door step on Sunday for $40.

This Dorman replacement unit comes with an extra pigtail that was not needed as the OEM wire and plug was in perfect condition. Fitment into the rubber boot, the 2 screw holes, the plug and above the rear window applique' is perfect. The brightness of the LEDs is much brighter than the OEM unit. The pictures speak for themselves. The unit is made in India, so hopefully it lasts as long as the OEM unit.


Dorman and OEM with included pigtail.

You have the Escalade third now right?

Did the Dorman last a long time though or did you have problems with it?

I bought the Dorman replacement for my 05, was better quality than the OEM one imo

Not too far for a shoot.

First one died after 1 year. This 2nd one seems to be working great and plenty bright.

I wish mine was as nice as yours but sadly, I don't think it will ever get near there. Best I could probably do is make it look nice in pictures. I like to think I'm a decent photographer

I would think he would have to in order to get both rims in the picture.

Not quite as low as the Z, but still a good stance.

From the massive thunderstorm with small hail and tornado warning that we had last week.

I moved the 06 to the vacant house carport next door until the hail passed and then this red banded deluge happened. Wow!!

And hurricane season is knocking again on 1 June.

Finally had a chance to wash the Tahoe after a few nasty storms and my mom in town. Said what the heck, pulled out the wheel, hit it with some Meguiar's Ultimate Polish, then finished off with Collinite's 845 Insulator Wax. Smooth and shiny.

Touched up the calipers with a bit of fresh silver paint as well. Reflection game anybody?
