    Front end rebuild

    For some reason, after 275K miles, my front end is getting a little sloppy. What gives? :D I placed a big order with Rock Auto, and here's what I've got in my shop waiting to be installed: I'm going to do it all at once and replace everything: Upper and lower control arm...

    Homemade Rock Sliders I've been wanting to build some rock sliders / rocker guards for my Tahoe for a while. I've already put one dent in the passenger rocker panel from smacking a rock. I already had this pile of rusty 2" x 4" tubing laying around, so I thought I would see what I could...

    More overlanding fun

    I thought ya'll might like to see some pictures of another overlanding trip just completed with the old Tahoe! These were taken this past weekend in the Ozark National Forest in Arkansas. I was the only Tahoe; the other 5 vehicles were all Jeep Wranglers! Casey

    New Shoes

    I've been searching for new tires for a while. I had been running some 15" old school wheels, but I found out that 15" tires are getting harder to come by. I decided to step up to some 16" rims. So what I did was I purchased a set of 5 Toyota steel wheels, with 4 brand new Kenda Klever M/T...

    Check out page 70 of Petersen's 4 Wheel...

    As the title states, check out page 70 in the January 2013 edition of Petersen's 4 Wheel and Off-Road! There is one slick Tahoe that is, in my humble opinion, one of the coolest 2-doors ever! It's got a 489 cid big-block, manual tranny, dual transfers, Dana 60 front, 14 bolt rear, and riding...

    Overlanding with my Tahoe (warning - lots of pictures!)

    My rig is mostly stock, but I've done three overlanding trips with my Tahoe over the past 1.5 years. All three have been through the Ozark National Forest in Northwest Arkansas, based between Harrison and Russellville. I've had a great time wheeling and camping with my rig. I've come from a...

    Bike rack on roof rack?

    Hey all! I have a receiver-mounted bike rack, but next up I'll be wanting to tow our camper and haul bikes at the same time. Instead of putting a bike rack on the camper, I'm thinking of hauling them on the roof of the Tahoe. Any suggestions for bike racks up top? Thanks! Casey

    Got some stuff DONE this week!

    I swapped intake manifolds on my diesel this past week. My Tahoe came stock with the EGR-style manifold, and I swapped it out for a non-EGR manifold off a 3500. Here's the original intake (EGR went in the hole in the middle): Here's the new intake installed; you can see how it's...

    Before and after pics

    I found an old picture of my Tahoe when we bought it back in the fall of '05. We bought it for my wife to use as a daily driver. When we found out we were going to have a baby, we bought her a minivan, and then I got to keep the Tahoe for me!! :D (at the time, my DD was an '81 Chevy 3/4 ton)...

    Drilled/slotted rotors

    I put new brakes on the front (rotors, pads, calipers, hoses) of my Tahoe around 10,000 miles ago, and I've already got warped rotors again. I used the regular parts supply rotors. I'm thinking of swapping to some drilled/slotted rotors to keep them from warping again. I think the cheaper...

    Got some goodies to install!!

    Santa Claus was good to me this year, and left me some universal gift certificates (AKA cash! :D ). I was also able to sell some extra stuff I had laying around to get a little more moola. That allowed me to purchase a set of Bushwacker OEM style fender flares, some Flowmaster exhaust parts...

    WTB brush guard / grille guard for OBS

    I'd like a Westin 'Sportsman' (or equivalent) style black grille guard/brush guard for my '95 Tahoe. Shipping is a killing on these kind of items, so local sellers would be best. Anything in the SW Missouri, NW Arkansas, NE Oklahoma, or SE Kansas area would be fine. arveetek AT yahoo.com...

    Fender flares / lower body paint

    I received my Bushwacker OE style fender flares today. Before I install them, I want to de-badge the lower molding. Also I have small bit of rust starting to form on the right front fender. Instead of painting, I'm thinking of repairing the rust, and then going over the lower portion of the...

    Article on installing lift on 98 2 door

    I just received my January 2011 issue of Peterson's 4-Wheel and Off Road. In this issue they install a 6" lift on a 98 2 door Tahoe. The article isn't super detailed, but it's still nice to see what all is involved in lifting an IFS Tahoe. Casey

    Does anyone actually wheel their 'hoes?

    I've been wheeling Jeeps in the past, and currently wheel my '97 Jeep TJ with a mild lift and 31" mud tires. I've been thinking of selling the Jeep and using the money to mod my Tahoe to make it more capable off-road, but I'm a bit hesitant, as I'm not sure how well the 'hoe would handle...

    Two car seats in a 2-door?

    Hey all! Does anyone else here try to use two car seats in the rear of a 2 door? My wife and I just had our second child, and there are times when I'll need to haul both kids, and they'll both be in car seats for a while. However, the design of the seat belts in my '95 2-door prohibits me...
