How is it going everyone,

Been browsing here for awhile but finally trying to post and join the community; I recently bought a 2005 chevy tahoe ls. I love the nbs generation and obs.. but while looking for my next car in the last few months I landed on this tahoe that was in as near mint condition as possible. no tears or damage in the seats, no paint scratches or dents in the dash, headliner is mint, no rust/body damage, and it was bone stock when I bought it.
My hoe will be a daily driver so I am not putting huge miles on my adventure rig. I mostly intend on a two inch leveling kit and a tow truck vibe as I intend to eventually get a snowmobile in the when I strike it rich future.

My truck came factory with the G80 and the 4.10 gear ratio; I intend to get an exhaust that makes me happy but not loud enough that I destroy my 4l60e. I hope to luck into a donor 4l80e at some point but for now I will keep my mods n build to suspension, brakes, and style.

Pictures include my hoe next to my Cherokee just before i tore off the plastic fender flairs. Second photo is my tribute to my old gmc sierra

Looks good. Welcome. Post up some interior shots. Does it have the towing package since it came with 4.10's?

Welcome from Miami Beach!

Nice find on your mint condition 2005 Tahoe! Your previous Sierra looks good also. Plenty of the Cherokee in my neck of the woods.

Those are the interior shots on hand. Basic interior but no tears or stains is a nice plus. Third row seat option but I have removed them because we'll.. they are useless...

It does have the tow package however, outside very light trailers I will wait until I put some miles on it before I feel comfortable testing out that tow package living in the mountains.

My old sierra was a beat up ugly truck but ran like a champ. If it had been 4x4 I would still own it.

Either way, I can't wait to get some nicer wheels and an exhaust on the Tahoe; got the updated headlights coming in soon. Going to try out the blacked out look on the metallic paint

Interior looks great. Mine is similar, I added a center console. I much prefer the basic interior over the fancy add ins that'll eventually break or stop working. You got a nice one!
