A UAV Tahoe is not one bit unique... the most unique part of them is the wheels (No offense meant to anyone here). Get it B&W or something more original

The red will be an ok idea, kind of like this, but the one below has a 2/3 drop and 26s.

Get rid of the lettering on the windshield and get some red on the roofrack or something and it'd be golden

Same here. Members here keep telling me to black mine out too, so I might.

Post pics of whatever you do! And don't worry about the age thing - I got the same shit since I'm 17 and have an 08 but the members here are VERY helpful, so as long as you contribute too then everyone will be fine. I love it here, I go to this site for pretty much everything that has to do with my truck.

I say you do a modest Belltech 2/3 drop with a spindle/coil kit from DJM direct. Will look good and still fit a Z71.
ICON (a member on here) has a white Z71 lowered 2/3 on all black wheels so you can look at his and see if you like it.

Those are 24s, 26 would look too hot on that.
Here is my incomplete 3/5 drop on 24s, then 26s to give you an idea

You'll have to fill it in. Ask KMeloney, I know he just did that project and it turned out looking really good.

Paint everything black. 5% limo tint. Take off the roof racks. Paint the headlight housings black as well as the orange reflector. Take off the door moldings. Lower it. Boss Rims will look good painted all black like DW Drummers truck.

I was a little concerned about the drop and rubbing issues with 26's so I stuck with 24's. You will need to do some minor trimming of the plastic lining in the wheel wells tho. The only problem I have with mine is, I wish my front end sat just a little bit lower. I guess thats due from the gas tank in the rear of the vehicle giving the back end a sag. But its not that big of a deal. Overall I was happy with the Belltech 2/3 kit and the ride quality. Remember to get shock extenders for the rear to soften up the ride.

Go through DJMDirect Black71 and you will nto spend any more than $450 for a 2/3 or 2/4 spindle, rear coils and shock extender kit.

Hey BlackZ71 can you post the engine specs on that Z71? I wanted the larger engine (mines an 07) and was willing to trade when the new 6-speed came out but only if they offered the 6.2L in the Z71. The dealer has always told me they nevered offered the 6.2L in a Z71 (NNBS).

It seems like you have one. If that is the case, I will continue my search but so far no luck. If you can post the spec sheet that might help me out. Thanks.
