Test drove 2 new trucks. I'm looking to trade in my 06 4.7L 4x4 Durango with 75,500 leveled on 33's for a Tahoe.

03 LT with LTZ 20's - beautiful truck and handled like brand new with 153k on it.

01 Denali - talk about a piece. CEL came on, wanted to die at stop lights, and vibrated/shook like crazy when accelerating. It actually developed a knock too. And the inside needed work too.

I'm going to test drive 2 more in a few days too.



04 Z71 with 114k on it

And a white 05 Z71 with 112k on it and the rear DVD.

Finally got my 20's!


No idea why the last owner had so many weights on the outside...afraid to remove them, not sure what I'll find under there.

Get those installed and post up some pic of your truck with them on, still on the fence if I wanna spend the $$$$$ to put tires on the ones I got last summer that look brand new!

Installed my HID retro last night, still need to figure out how to adjust them. Swapped out my black painted housing headlights for stock ones with the retrofit and swapped smoked turn signals for clear ones[emoji41] 25 ft away

Sweet upgrade!

Looks really good Manny! Front end looks awesome. What part of adjusting do you need to do?

Thanks J! Well I think I need to tweak the driver side a bit, it kind of slopes down compared to other pics I see. I'm not too familiar with HID projectors since this is my first set. How do you think the cut off looks? I just adjusted them so they are level with each other. I need to lower them a bit, I got flashed once last night during testing.

Dude, I actually like the way those look on your dark ride, what size tire did you do and I assume your rig is stock height?

My rims are just screaming at me to get some rubber for them and put them on, but I'm such a cheap arse that I can't get myself to fork out the money....but I might have to now!

Stock rubbers. I think they are 275/55/20. Too lazy to go out and look but I will if you need me to.

It looks like the right side of your cutoffs look good. It does seem like the left side curves downwards a bit. Open the projector up, and slightly bend the right side of the cutoff shield towards the bulb just a hair. It's best if you can do this while the projector is lit up so you can see how far to go. Mine slop upwards on the right side. So I need to bend it away from the bulb.

Ok I'll give that a shot, thanks! There doesn't seem to be any other way to 'twist' or adjust it other than that cause of the way the bracket is made. Does the cutoff shield bend pretty easily?

Nice pic, looks very much like my old Yukon! And the tire size was 275/55R20.

Look at my albums Chris, I had the same rims on my previous dark grey Yuk. Mine was lowered by 2" inches in the rear.

How many more times do I need to tell you to install those darn wheels?

Yeah it bends fairly easy. And I may need wrong on which bend fixes which curve, but just play with it a little and you will see what I mean.
