2009 Suburban Build Thread (SOLD)

[Goodinblack]

tires look a little lumpy to me??

Charlotte has really bad roads

 

[THE YETI]

That's nonsense. We rolled 295/35/24 on the Burban there. No problems.

 

[Goodinblack]

Took the truck apart again to install Le' Escalade shifter.... thought I would take some pictures of the remote start setup for people while I was there.

The wires routed on the left side......

From underneath....

From the right side..... Shows the two ignition connections and the remote start module itself on the bottom.

How the OEM Tow haul / Manual Shift wire routes....

 

[Goodinblack]

At this point pretty certain that I will end up with TBSS wheels.

Some of the OEM wheels I either don't like..... or are not being replicated yet in the finish I want.

OEM originals for almost $2,0000.00 a set are out of the question.

So even if I trade the Suburban in and get a 15.... I suppose this is a bad as the 15 would look with TBSS 22's.... till I sold the TBSS wheels and went to another wheel.

So worst case scenario.

Thank you sir! Putting mine in this week, just waiting for the weather to clear up, nice seeing what youre in for before you start taking stuff apart.

Ironic how I dislike chrome accents outside a car.... but love them on the inside.

That looks better than your first pic with them on a nnnbs. I like that

I vote TBSS!!! I like chrome when its done correctly. Hate black wheels

What about Black Chrome wheels though?

No not on your ride....


Have these been ordered yet?

You better get 24's. Because your theory of not willing to spend 2k on oem 22's but willing to spend it on aftermarket replica's has me confused.

Real GM OEM wheels.... SEY are like $400 a wheel

Factory Reproductions does not make them..... OE wheels LLC does, but they have a 1 year finish. I asked Robbie and FR themselves.... said no plans for it anytime soon.

Really the ONLY 2015 GM OEM wheels I like, and that I would drop money on are these.... (but not almost 2K just for wheels)

If I did 24's (impractical when you drive a lot.... also the 5.3 is a dog anyway....... need better brakes....) it would be amongst these.

At the end of it all I might just get a can of plasti dip and dip my old ones.

I think straight chrome on your color. The grey makes the chrome pop. Such a clean look. Maybe come down a inch more in the back and you will be perfect.

Another thing I think would look good, chrome handles and mirror caps. I know you aren't a chrome guy, just imo.

I hate the misconception about 24" needing bigger brakes and not able to be daily driven... You don't need bigger brakes with 24".

 

[YuCanada]

I had 24s on my daily last year, on terrible canadian roads and never had issues, mind the potholes and you're fine [emoji108] get 24s lee!
