BAMF Pri's 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe build thread

Thanks man slowly but surely.

A little windy but here's a video

 

[Fosscore]

Throaty. I like it.

And damn wind today is honking for sure.

 

[73impala]

Yeah its nice because at idle or steady rpms its not loud or obnoxious. But if I get into it, you can definitely hear it.

 

[Fosscore]

You have better pics of those LED pods and what they are and how you hooked them up?

Also just a thought... you should add something in your title for it to reflect a build thread to catch more interest for people to look at when they are perusing the forum.

Your screen name and/or build thread. Looks more interesting.

Ill get you some pics of how they are mounted. They are LED cubes from Longshot Lighting that I had laying around. Now I have them just wired up to the oem reverse wires by the tail lights. Also on my truck I have an auxiliary switch ran to them so I can turn them on and off when I want. Just need to wire one up on the Tahoe.

And thanks that's a good idea never really thought why many people didn't come through here.

Cool man. No offense, it just doesn’t catch their interest enough to click and they move on. Most people start relating to screen names especially if they are active a lot on diffeeent threads or have been on here a long time.

Go to the build thread section and see what others have done. Give you some ideas.

No offense taken, I appreciate the tip. So use to other forums where my people know my truck and the threads that I never thought much more of it. I need to get more active here.

Also went through this thread and relinked all the photos so hopefully there are no more broken images.

Still having a hard start issue not really sure what it could be now.

Here are how the pods are mounted. On the passenger side you can see where I had to move it further to the rear of the truck to clear the exhaust and far enough to where I could hold the nut on the inside of the frame.

In before I need to change the nasty tip clamp lol. Need to get a nice band clamp.

And post a pic of your silvy in your first post to show people what kind of crazy mad man we're dealing with. I miss your truck and trucks like Kyles03 , but I refuse to go back on that site. Much more civil over here lol

Speaking of you selling any of those clear silvy tails lately ?!!

 

[05Single]

Also the silvy might bring up some questions and more discussion since most of the components are interchangeable. Engine mods, interior, outside lighting.
And tell the wife to keep posting.

Agreed on the civil part also not as congested here.

Haha for anyone that doesn't know my truck here it is.

Started off like this when I traded my 03 extended cab for the 03 crew cab. Only thing different on the trucks was lower miles and it was a crew cab.

The extended cab right before I swapped everything to the crew cab

What the crew cab looked like before the parts from the extended cab were put on.

Loved the look of the small welds so that's why I like it on the tahoe

Went and picked up a HD hood today and dropped it off at paint, should be done in 2 weeks the painter said.

Nice score. Going to look good.

Thanks. Might have to try your paint guy in the future. Charging 400 to oaint both sides of the hood. Has some flaws but kind of thought it was a little high

This must be HD hood day. @HiHoeSilver just scored one too.
$400 isn't too terrible for painting both sides and a little body work.
