Fosscore's 2006 Tahoe Build Thread

[Emendoza93]

Been wanting to do this to mine, just been lazy. Haha. Looks fresh though.

Looks good, I did the same thing + some. Are your wheels dipped too? They look smaller black. Maybe it's just the pic though. Got any more side shots?

 

[Fosscore]

Rims are LTZ OE reps. Powder coated. Running 20s but thinking of moving up to 22s or 24s maybe machine and black to give a bit of contrast. May drop her a bit and see how she looks then.

Oh much better, I think it was just the pic, they don't look small (for 20's) in those pics.. I have the same wheels in polished alum.

Sweet look... Blue with the black is very nice.. Good job man sexy ride. Now you just need some subs haha, but lowering it is probably a good idea, I was hesitant at first, I didn't know how low I should drop her.. Cause I didn't know what would look good, I didn't want to drop it to low and have to redo it, 2 inches is a good amount... It wasn't to much.. And it made a huge diff in how it looked.

Thanks man. Yeah might change out the rims, maybe 22" in the fall when I plan to drop it. Been thinking how low to go. 2/3 or 3/5...will keep reading the forums. Gotta lose the wheel well gap either way.

Man that's nice, putting my hoe to shame! I highly doubt I could get around, or in the driveway, with a 3/5 though.

 

[Fosscore]

Thx guys. Appreciate the comments.

Thx man. Just trying to keep in step with all the other good looking rides on here. The only elevations in Florida are man made!

I think THE YETI knows someone that has 24" CK375 for sale. Need to ****** them up.

Looking good. Going with either 916 or 375 can't go wrong. Either wheel you choose it'll make your truck stand out even more. Nice work

Thx man. Your look is great on the big Denali. Is yours 3/5 or 4/6?

3/6 but eventually want to go down to 4/6.5

After 4 months of stock piling parts and not seeing the truck, it was time to get to work. Last week was a big week.

1. Lowered 3/5 with the NorcalSS custom kit.
2. Installed Spyder LED rear tail lights.
3. Installed Esky rack with color matched end caps.
4. Full clay/polish/wax (with daughter's help) to bring the paint back from the brutal Florida summer abuse.
5. Black Bear Tune with Justin in Orlando this weekend.

Will update in the appropriate sections about the drop (with measurements) and BB Tune (changes made) to give more specific details and thoughts on those two mods.

Next plans:
1. Esky rear appliques are primed and waiting to be color matched.
2. Color match the front bumper cap.
3. Plasti-Dip the lower front bumper valance black.
4. Headlights and turn signals (the left turn signal is bad I know) are on the list to update.
5. Chrome 22s (still thinking ck375, ck916 or ck165 in chrome to tie in the chrome Esky rack and chrome bumpers??).

Look forward to your comments and input/advice. Especially the choice of wheels moving forward. Let's hear it. Thanks guys!

Is difficult to do the clay or how you do.

Awesome. Love that big beast down low. I'm toying with the idea of pulling the spacer and getting that extra 1" in the rear and a touch in front. Will ride this for a bit and see.
