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

[ArcticYukon]

I mean, at least you figured that out before you an explosive reality hit you @ArcticYukon

Tellin' me, bud. That's the kinda thing my dad woulda caught right off the bat not long ago... c'mon pop, stay with it.

Went out for a quick workout and when I came back, I looked at the back of the tahoe and decided the wiper needed removed. So that was my project this afternoon. Again, once it warms up I'll be able to spray these, though I'm thinking the whole lift gate will need it.

Anyway.. small project complete. No progress on the skirt. In due time...

Right, so today was kind of productive. Built a collapsible work bench, still need to frame it out and make it look nice.



Then I installed the BORA spacers that came in for the rear wheels... this helps the look out immensely. Just need that warmer weather to finish up the plastic welding and paint

Which size spacer did you end up using again?

@HiHoeSilver For the rear I'm running 2.25" spacers in the back... so a 24x10 with a -30 offset would fit...

More math would be needed to do other sizes lol.

I have Street Scene Sideskirts I may not use afterall

@inmypassatlife If that's an offer, I'm modifying the modified z71 skirts I have to fit over these flares to give it that... err, factory look??

 

[blurred]

So I have been planning... lots.

I'll be altering the flares more, but I have a rough stance diagnosed in fir the rear. Installed the Spohn adjustable sway bar. Then I replaced the front brakes with powerstop tow and hall rotors/pads. Now the wobble is gone so that's big.

Next idea potentially involves yukon headlights and fenders. I need nice weather damnit. This cold ahit is really annoying me. Its lasting way too long lol.

Nice. Can't wait to see how the yukon headlights turn out. Was toying with that idea myself. Seems like there are a lot more options for headlights for the Yukons.

Nice ! First wide body Tahoe. So much work but it's good motivation to have that visual.

 

[blurred]

@ArcticYukon I'd end up building the headlight I'm sure, but now I have to source a free (or really cheap though not functional but mountable) set of headlights for test fitting (dont want to spend the money if it fails miserably) ... once I make sure o can use the headlights, then i have to find fenders and modify them to fit the width/offset of the wheels I'm planning to run up front as well. Then, bolt up the flares after they're built. **** I need to find the time to work on this lol.

I'll call it "widebody" since I don't consider flares actual widebody lol.... maybe if I wind up building flared fenders in the future...

I know what you mean. But I consider just wide flares bolted on. You start molding stuff it becomes widebody imo.

Because I can't remember this... 24x11-24

Your locker combination? Why didn't you just write it in your assignment notebook?

because that's right where all the bullies would look to stuff me in my locker.

I know what ya mean. I think they will though. Looks like the grill bar is in the same location for the chevy's and gmc's.... just different turn signal lenses to compensate for the differnce in grilles. Cutting of the hood, of course, will be required as well.

And this began happening today.
