OK, I have done a lot of little mods since I last posted pics last fall. I have added color matched door and liftgate handles, Esky roof rack, Esky vent caps, new wheel center caps, NNBS Tahoe emblem to liftgate, and some killer Nitto NT420s tires in 285/50/20 size. I have to say that I am so happy how it looks right now. I gave it a quick detail, (because you cannot post pics of a dirty truck), and snapped a bunch of pics. Here are some of the nicer pics I took. It is very difficult to get an accurate color representation of the Bermuda Blue.
Hope you enjoy!

That looks great!! You did exactly what I want to do w/ the rear vents. Did you get that door trim off a Sierra?

Thanks Alex. I am glad I kept the vents black. Yes, the trim is off of a 2003-2007 Classic Sierra extended cab.

Looks awesome! Love the Esky vents and the Sierra side moldings! I hate emblems but it looks great with the Tahoe on the hatch. Ties in good with the side moldings.

Painted mirror caps and front bumper top pad FTW!!!

Thanks! I am on the fence about the tailgate emblem. I usually debadge, but it has been naked since 2009, so I thought I would add it for the time being. I probably will take it off though.

Matching mirror caps and bumper cap are next on my list! ;)

Truck looks great---perfect balance of chrome IMO. The 420's look great too. I had a set of them on another vehicle-my only complaint with them was they sucked in the snow. Well Done :waytogo:

Very nice lookin!!! I've always loved your Hoe. The only thing that'd make it a little better is dropping it 2" on all four corners :)

I'm definitely a debadging fan but I really like it on your truck. Just like the side moldings. They look good because they come from another year or model.

I've thought about putting the NNBS emblem on mine.

SICK tires. GREAT pics. Are you going to color match the mirrors? I think that would complete the look as everything else is color matched.

Per everyone's reviews on here, I bought them. Tire rack for $715.00 out the door, mounted and balanced! Soooooo smooth, and they look incredible!

Thanks! Mine never sees snow, though. :)

I have thought about doing a mild drop. I probably won't, though. My wife might kill me!

You should try it. I bought mine for under $20 shipped. For that cheap, you can see if you like it or not.

Very clean ride!!! Looks great

Thank you!

Thanks! Love these tires too!
I plan on color matching the bumper cap and the mirror caps. :Handshake:

Very nice tahoe

Thanks!

I really love that color blue......

Pictures just do not do this color justice. It is like "Bigfoot", there are no good pictures of it.:)

Nathan....if you're sly enough the wife will never know its been dropped :D I did my 2/4 in my driveway and I just told the wife I was replacing the shocks and rear springs per needed maintenance and she didn't ask any questions :lol: she hasn't said a word and she loves it!! If I'd asked before hand she most likely would have said no :D

Ha ha! Very sneaky Jacob! But it looks awesome. I think you need an Esky rack for yours!

My wife is pretty weird about this particular truck. It was her dad's. He passed away in 2008 and we bought it from her mom in 2009. She doesn't want to lose the look of it the way her dad had it. This is why I mod it veerrrryyy slowly. I can slide by a lot of little things, but she might notice a height difference......and she would not be on board that.

Truck looks awesome bro, nice and clean. would love some 420's on mine too.

Thanks. When you do get new tires, consider these. They are super smooth and balanced out with very little weight. And the price......very reasonable for what they are!

:D completely agree man. Sentimental value trumps all and is a big factor with any changes :)
