I've decided to start a thread like I've seen in other forums that shows the evolution of my tahoe since I got it. I bought it March of this year and thought I would keep it stock, but the mod bug bit me! So here's what I've got so far and I'll post pics as I go....
As of now- '02 Tahoe LT
Debadged rear and sides
Tinted front sides to match rear
Tinted front windshield 45%
Removed the roof rack crossbars
VVME 6000k HID's
Pioneer AVIC-N2
Replaced all stock speakers w/Memphis

The day I bought it...

BTW, thanks to PavementPounder, JKMotorsports, BigE, and GroceryGetter for your super clean rides and inspiration. There are others, but I constantly find myself looking to your trucks for ideas the most.

Thanks bro! I've done a catback greddy evo exhaust, hotchkiss suspension, Swift Racing cold air and ecu chip, staggered IS350 wheels, and some stereo stuff including a Pioneer D3 and Pioneer Premier subs. I love the car, but my wife drives it mostly.

You could single turbo the stock motor in that IS and pull 500+ hp. Trust me, it's been done many times..

Yeah but we can single turbo our trucks and make more power reliably :Big Laugh:

LOL, it's hard to keep it stock when you're part of a forum and constantly see nothing but modded rides! Clean looking truck man:cheers:

That paint looks really good. It really stands out. +1 on the smoothie caps, I think they would be a great factory-looking addition to the truck.

Nice truck, man. You're right about that front clip, it does make a big difference. Be prepared to stay broke with all the modding. It seems to never end, lol!
