Fosscore's 2006 Tahoe Build Thread

Supercharger would have been the winner for sure.

Still looking sexy.
Why you running padless in the rear bumper ? those getting paint too?

 

[Fosscore]

I figured you would pick up on that lol. Took them off to freshen up the black paint and got sidetracked with other projects.

Hope to have them done soon and back on. With the bumper color matched it has not bugged me too much.

Makes me kinda want the Denali bumper with it so flat.

 

[05Single]

Haha I want sure if I missed that part in the thread or something. so they are getting a glossy black treatment ? or just a refinish ?
But yea hard to tell with it colormatched, if it was chrome or white the holes and indents would stick out big time.
Denali bumper always looks the best imo.
I bet guys always ask you to get a roll pan huh? lol.

 

[Fosscore]

Glossy black again. The first go around didn't hold up too well. Not sure it is was subpar prep, UV or what, but it wasn't looking as good as wanted so I pulled them off thinking I could turn it around quickly.

Taking me a bit of extra time.

No roll pan for me. I like the bumper.

Around here IMO there aren't many modded NBS. Wheels and tires sure with a random part or bow tie blacked out or just brand new models with OEM issue gear.

I see a lot of jacked up Silverados though.

Always got my eye out though.

Such a clean truck, wish I could keep mine looking that fresh and clean.

Yea I'm more of a bumper guy myself too. pans are clean looking for sure but if you get hit from behind thats a possibility of so much more damage. I had a roll pan on my first truck in high school and a month later I got rear ended. I swore them off after that. just my luck I'll get another and get hit again

Here ya go lol

Like it.

Never seen a Denali at any of the junk yards around me. Only a couple picked-to-the-bone Escalades.

 

[Tonyrodz]

I bet. I still regret not taking the rear bumper off that Denali my friend sent to the crusher.

 

[Fosscore]

cleaner engine bay than I've ever had in my '07 that's for sure lol

Time to get on it son!! lol

I wipe down my engine bay every time I detail the truck. It's just one of those things that when or if you ever want to sell your vehicle, the potential buyer can look at that and think wow he went the extra mile to keep this thing clean.

Yessir. Once you do that first really deep clean and get in there with the toothbrush, then successive times are so much easier with the wipe downs. I'm pretty lucky that my truck only pounds the pavement and will likely never see a dirt road.

Thx sir. Need to make that drive back down to FL for some sun, sand, surf and truck shine.....@Pachanga02

Back in the day I had a T-Bird SC, all black, and I used to wax the metal surfaces under the Hood! Lol

 

[Fosscore]

Always good to hear about other super OCD types. lol Makes me feel okay that I am not losing my mind worrying about those little imperfections...haha

Lol, all us car guys are ocd to some degree. Us cool ones anyway!

 

[Pachanga02]

Escalade bumpers ain't bad either. I guess I'm lucky since I have a Denali and esky bumper. @Fosscore we were going to make a trip for this week but I got called by my union for another jobsite. I'd love to go but I don't think we're going to go maybe until next winter. Love spending some winter time in Florida. Maybe my wife will plan something for the spring and go there for a week.

 

[Fosscore]

@Pachanga02

You are going to need that Florida vacation after winter beats you up.

 

[Fosscore]

Still waiting on the hood and vents to get painted, but decided to drive her to the supermarket anyways.

Good setup in the driveway. Too bad the Yukon is only a rental.
