Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

Yeah probably..... and that's stainless steel too.... so that'd hurt your feelings a little bit bashing on 'em haha



Thanks for posting that! Now I know what to get for mine!

You will not be disappointed.

With those you can actually see the difference between running light and brake/turn? I’m trying to find some for my truck and my Firebird but all the LED bulbs I see, the running light is just as bright as the brake light.

I went back, those are just brake/turn then. Damn it, I’m still coming up short.

Good question that I don’t have an answer for ATM. Can’t recall if I took a video in my build thread.

Perhaps Tony can grab a video, otherwise I will try to get one tomorrow night.

Mine aren't led per se. Maybe you can get the vid @Fosscore

I finally put the Bilsteins on. Thx again to @Massfloefi.

Changed out from the KYB Excel-G's.

I took a ride around the block and it felt so much better. We'll see how it takes dips and bumps. I posted them in the classifieds. Whoever wants them can have them. I also posted a video of them there. Make sure to read the ad to whom ever wants them. I also finally fixed my passenger side fog light's loose wire connection---Hopefully. No pics on that.

EDIT: I also rotated tires, front to back, stayed on the same side tho. Had to since I got a little froggy and burned the rear up a lil.

you need to take that caliper off and un twist that line.

and its time for new brakes... that rotor looks like a old record lol

new shocks always feel nice.

Lol, yeah, I think once I get a few extra $$ gonna get some rotors, unless I can find someone that'll cut these. It seems like no one cuts rotors around here anymore everybody just always buys new ones.

i got one napa up here that cuts drums and rotors still.

check out R1 on ebay, i got mine for roughly 200 shipped, i got the drilled and slotted E line with their ceramic scorched pads. at 200 they are cheap, yet work better then any other brakes ive ever installed on anything. r1 is all ive been using for years now.

best part is they dont rust, only where the pad rides if left sitting will show rust.

I have the geomets in the garage still. They look great. They have a new pad called OE something or other that i got to try. Sales rep said its a ceramic compound, too.

i know of quite a few running all sorts of their set up/combo's, never heard any one complain, other then being touchy when cold in some cars.

i let a friend drive my car. he also had a regal like mine. im like roll from a stop at idle for 3 feet then stop like you normally would, he almost lost his teeth on the steering wheel lol

Yup

Took my first ride today with the new shocks--MAN, what a huge difference! Didn't bottom out in the rear and rode so much better and just felt "tighter". Also, looks like it raised it a little bit. Maybe 1/4" or a little more, front and rear. Not that great of a pic to tell.

 

[Sevenevez]

looks great man! hope you been well
