What did you do to your 2015-2020 K2XX Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[Kpwweb]

Hello everyone!

Got my '19 Tahoe on May 2.

Done till then:
- full aluminum bottom cover (engine, shifter, transfer box, gas tank)
View attachment 223585

- mesh net in the front grille

- full rustproofing of the frame and other needed areas
View attachment 223586

- replacement of the rear air compressor hose to the clean/protected from any mud place

View attachment 223590

Looks good! A few questions:

Where did you get the aluminum skidplates, especially for the gas tank?

Mesh net for front grill? Please explain?

What type of rustproofing?

Replacement of rear compressor/hose? Please explain?


Looks like you are set up for off road!

Ran a couple sessions early in the morning and loaded back up at 11. Heavy rains, not worth injuring ourselves or destroying our cars.

Shop's equipment. Total cost was like $105 with labor. I think they've done it within couple of hrs.
In fact it's just a set of pipes with some connectors and non-return valve

That looks like the rear camera module from an Escalade. I think I see the second camera for the rear view mirror. I’m guessing they tap into the rear wiper washer line.

Yes, it's just an example picture from the shop. I have only one camera on my Tahoe.

1) All skidplates are from the shop also. I assume it's some local production or their own BTO stuff.
Overall cost was ~$640 for skidplates themselves (honestly i think i've overpaid a lot) + $50 for labor

2) It's just an aluminum mesh fitted to front bumper to protect radiator from insects/stones/birds (lol)
Looks like this (have no photo of my own at the moment, will do later and upload here

3) Rustproofing - Waxoyl professional, Waxoyl Hardwax, Dinitrol for lockers (shop calls it "liquid lockers/wing guards")

4) As far as i understand, by default air intake hose of the compressor is placed somewhere right upon the rear left wheel. So in our climate it sucks dirt/water which leads to the breakage. They re-placed it to the inner of the trunk

Got my husky x-act contour
First and third rows fit awesome, second row is a little bit too wide in my opinion.

Ok, cool and interesting. Would you mind posting a pic of the camera/washer on your vehicle. I’m curious if they added the washer or sourced a camera module with one present.

What’s the shop name/website?

They drilled a hole in my existing cam module and added some washer

Installed some tail light trim and ditch lights today

2 questions

1. part number for those tail guards?
2. How did you get those foglights to fit? 2013 Silverado lights work (same part #), but I haven't seen those yet

Nice. Normally, when i walk by the rear, i just wipe the lens with my finger.

2 questions

1. part number for those tail guards?

The tail light trim was purchased through EBAY. Not sure of the part number as they are not an OEM part. I was fully expecting these to have poor fit and quality, but to my surprise they look great, fit perfectly and seem well constructed.

2. How did you get those foglights to fit? 2013 Silverado lights work (same part #), but I haven't seen those yet

The lights in the picture in my hands are not fog lights. They are the Baja S2 pro lights and what I am using as "ditch lights". They are installed on hood mount brackets at the A pillar locations. Look at the picture again. They are the smaller rectangular lights just above the fenders near the windshield. The fog lights that are installed are the OEM GM fog lights with yellow LAMIN-X overlays.

here is a zoomed in picture of the "ditch light

"

cheers!

It's almost 300 days per year rain or snow here, usually very dirty. So even if I wipe cam at the start of the trip, in the end camera is almost blind

Plastidipped my wheels black. Turned out fine, but I doubt it’ll last. Don’t know that I would do it again; a little bit of a learning curve. I bought black lugs, but they were too short so I bailed on them.

Looks good, and if you did 6 or 7 coats it will last. Did it on my 328 and its fine over a year with auto washes all the time. Im gonna do my new burb next...

Debadge, wash & wax, avs bugger, and lockerdown done. Was also installing some egr slim line in channel vent visors, but one was broken out of box - they seem to fit really nice so waiting on replacement. Thought I would miss Avalanche more, but this is just bad ass. Im also seeing over 23 mpg on dic with my work commute which is outstanding for this beast!
