Looks awesome!!! I think it has a twin (close anyways). Looks alot like Sumo's. With a few different mods of course.

Yeah I thought about sending GM some pics when it is 100% done with brakes, exhaust and charger to see if they'd get any ideas outa it

As far as Sumo's truck...."imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" lol jk...my idea for this truck isn't that "original"...infact its something that should be OEM so if he or GM or anyone else for that matter wants to make another sibling of my truck I'm all for it

I agree on that. Didn't mean it in a bad way about havin a twin. I like to see Tahoes like mine. As long as they are not in my town! Haha!

The finished ride looks sick. Get those brakes and engine done so that GM can get to work on mass producing this beast!!!

That's very clean, I love it! Your giving me inspiration, I didn't know which route I wanted to take mine till now. Props to a clean ride, and I like the way it sits, no need to lower the back. ;)

After driving this truck this way for 3 months I gotta say mission has been accomplished. Not kidding over 20 times random people have stopped me and asked "Is that an SS" or "Did it come that way" or "That's so clean...what is it". The best one was a random guy who literally flagged me down at night in a parking lot to ask "when did the tahoe ss come out?"

I am now stuck between wanting to do more and wanting something different. This truck is practical for me and it serves a purpose and looks good but I'm fueled by this 2012 Grand Cherokee SRT8 fire that won't get extinguished. So either dump more money into this thing that I'll never get out of it and drive it for a couple more years...or sell it while the miles are low and get the GC SRT8...and take it in the rear on depreciation (again) lol

If it was me I'd rather keep the Hoe and dump whatever money into it and keep improving it. GC's don't have near the room your Hoe does.

And I have to say the '12 SRT8 Jeeps look Horrible.. I love the look of the older ones.. Just what they did with them doesn't look right with the new ones.

Keep the Tahoe Gerod. That SRT-8 will depreciate real quick because for some reason they don't sale much!

Plus if you slap a Magnacharger in there you will forget all about that SRT!

Oh decisions decisions lol. The new GC SRT8 has its quirks but in the right color with the right wheels it could do magic. The hoe is just kinda big and makes me miss my TBSS. I enjoy the "luxury" of it but after driving my wifes '11 Acura MDX advanced with all its fancy cooled seats and fun crap like that I'm craving something nicer. I really want an X5M but that would mean getting a 75k truck which is just dumb at 28.

Trade it in on a Tahoe that has fancy cooled seats, then!

The previous model Jeep SRT8s were sick. The new ones... Well, they're a different kind of sick. They're sickly. Bloated and tall looking, with lame wheels. I like the current Cherokee, but they really missed the mark on this SRT8 version, IMO.

If you need to do some hauling while you're hauling, then check out the CTS-V wagon. Now, that's sweet!
