04 Tahoe/Power steering too light
I would recommend bleeding the power steering system. Check and top off the power steering fluid, jack up the front end, start the truck and turn the steering wheel lock to lock several times but don't hold it at lock, shut down the engine, and check the power steering reservoir. add fluid if...- GatorBite

2003 Chevrolet Tahoe Low Profile Overlanding Roof Rack
@MassHoe04 There is no whistling whatsoever. That is why I haven't been too worried about getting an air dam made yet. -
2003 Chevrolet Tahoe Low Profile Overlanding Roof Rack
There hasn't been any contact with the roof from having a few items loaded on it or getting off camber. It is pretty rigid because of the 8 connection poins on each side rail to the l track. My truck is a Tahoe Special Service Vehicle (SSV) so it doesn't have an LS, LT, or Z71 badge. It has... -
2003 Chevrolet Tahoe Low Profile Overlanding Roof Rack
Thanks. I have had several people at gas stations and other places stop me to ask about it. Maybe if I can get enough interest I can get some more cut out. -
2003 Chevrolet Tahoe Low Profile Overlanding Roof Rack
I designed the rack to have a crossbar on standard 12 inch spacing to accommodate a lot of roof rack accessories (such as the GMRS antenna mount) but it has a variety of spacing options to use. The hard spacing is done at 6 and 12 inches with an adjustable slot in between those. There is also... -
2003 Chevrolet Tahoe Low Profile Overlanding Roof Rack
Once I got everything painted I assembled and attached it to the L-track. I think I did pretty good when it came to following the body lines on the side rails and choosing my angle to follow from the windshield. As the rack sits right now, without an air dam, there is no whistle or wind... -
2003 Chevrolet Tahoe Low Profile Overlanding Roof Rack
After I had everything lined up I verified that I hit my mark of having the cross bars be a 1/2 inch from the roof at the closest. I went ahead and drilled my side rails and did another test fit. Because I didn't know exactly how everything was going to line up initially, I had made the... -
2003 Chevrolet Tahoe Low Profile Overlanding Roof Rack
Thanks!! I have most of the rack done but just need to get an air dam measured and cut. -
2003 Chevrolet Tahoe Low Profile Overlanding Roof Rack
Here are some pictures of lining everything up to get ready to drill holes in the side rails for the brackets to mount to the L-track. -
2003 Chevrolet Tahoe Low Profile Overlanding Roof Rack
I drew up the side rails and had them cut out of 3/16 inch aluminum. I had to have a split in the rail due to the bed size which is why there is a joint in the rail. -
2003 Chevrolet Tahoe Low Profile Overlanding Roof Rack
Once I was able to look at the inside of the Tahoe, I decided to go ahead and mount the L-track to each side of the vehicle. I started by lining up the L-track with 2 of the factory mounting holes and used the L-track holes as a drill guide for adding the next 2-3 holes. I took the track off and... -
2003 Chevrolet Tahoe Low Profile Overlanding Roof Rack
The main reason I bought my 2003 Tahoe was to get into overlanding. I have done some other work to the vehicle but quickly realized that even though it is a full size , there was not enough room on the inside of the vehicle and I decided I wanted to put on a roof rack. I browsed through what... -
2005 PPV Tahoe
I have an 03 SSV.........I probably pulled 150ft of wire out of the truck and there is still some I have not gotten to. What I found is they installed flasher modules for the front and rear lights and they cut into several of the wiring harnesses. Everything I have found I have wired it back to...- GatorBite
