Mike's 2013 Tahoe Build

[mjenk430]

Will do, I'll try that tomorrow or Monday. I knew I should have bought more than two machine screws while I was at Home Depot.

Truck looks great.

I used a heat gun to reshape my plastic fender liners.

You have to watch for a change in the shininess of the plastic....when it does push on it. I used a piece of wood contoured round.

Thanks man.

I'll give the heat gun a try. It rubs at the inside of the liner, not the lip or the top. There is actually a little bulge in the liner that is rubbing. If I can just get that pushed in, I should be good to go. I'm going to wait until the 305/35/24's arrive so I can see how much work I am really going to have to do.

Cool...

I did mine a while back....

Hey.... be careful if the AC lines running behind the liners too.

btw flip the upper bolts the opposite way on the rear shocks. since your putting on 24s many times ive had trucks come in where the bolts hit the tires especailly when you lower it and pass side gets pushed out more and drivers side taps it.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll add that to my "to do list".

no prob Ive always flipped em but I also get trucks that are lowered somewhere else and whoever did it doesn't know the little tricks on these trucks that make a big difference

Wheels come tomorrow, I'm excited. I'll snap pics and post them as soon as I get them on.

Removed roof rack last weekend. Forgot to post it up on the build thread...

Get the molding yet?

From my CB Radio.

 

[mjenk430]

No, still need to order it, still need to fix the one bolt I f'ed up too. Did get the wheels on this evening and the door molding stripped off one side.

What do you guys think?

I never zip tied my e-brake cable on the drivers side, and I noticed when I had the wheels off it has started to rub a hole in the rubber of the air shock!! Actually a few fibers showing in the rubber, definitely need to take care of that tomorrow.

I have some serious rubbing going on with the new tires in the rear. Going to take the heat gun to the fender liner tomorrow also.
