I need ideas

[05Zsvntyfun]

Hello everyone! Just joined the site after owning Tahoes for 4 years. I recently bought a 2005 Tahoe Z71 fully loaded with only 83k miles. Beautiful truck and I think Chevy did a great job! But, I need ideas to make it "mine." In the few months I've had it I have done the following:

All lights on module
Clear bumper lenses
Led headlights
Led fog lights
Led DRLs
Led switchback front blinkers
Led reverse lights
Led interior lights
Blue led gauges
NNBS ltz wheels
Debadged rear gate

Future plans:

Led pods for fog lights
Led pods for reverse lights
Led taillights
Install Bluetooth in factory touchscreen
Volant cold air intake
Volant throttle body spacer
Viper alarm/remote start
Electric exhaust cutout
Rock lights
Limo tints all around

What are some recommendations you have for anything you see I'm doing or think is a good idea, I'm open to all ideas! If you would like to know any links for something I've bought just message me

Welcome and sweet ride! Look forward to seeing your future mods.

Ride looks super clean! That third pic is fantastic!

Your 2005 Tahoe Z71 looks like new in and out..Love what you did to it so far!!!!

Welcome from Miami Beach Steven!!

 

[Tonyrodz]

Looking good.

Lol, if you take our ideas, it won't really make it "Your's"
Go with what you like, looks like you've already made some nice mods on your own.

I've heard throttle body spacers can hurt power rather than help with these engines. Someone who knows can explain why because idk why.

Yeah I haven't really hurt any good things about it, just trying to get some more power without pulling a ton of things apart. I guess I'll cross that off the list haha

Very clean find, ltz wheels are a win on this body style.

Yea save your money and scratch the tb spacer off the list.

I can offer another option aside from rock lights.

Also a money saver.

Also ditch the drl's and splice in another pair on turn signals in its place along with another pair of switchbacks.

Can't wait to see more in the future

Thank you very much! I'll check that out now. And I did the drls just so they would match everything else but I actually already have two pigtail harness' for the blinkers. I plan on doing that this weekend so I'll post a photo when they're done. Just waiting for my relays to come in!

 

[05Single]

Nice, yea I have the full row blinker mod in that same thread too. Applied the same concept to my tail lights.

 

[05Zsvntyfun]

Yeah, when I was on break at school I read through everything haha. I'm gonna do the drl mod, footwell lights, tailgate lights, and eventually the rock lights but not the way you have yours set up. I love the way your truck is coming out! I wanna see it lowered haha

 

[05Single]

Thanks man!
Yea I've been slackin on getting it lowered. Doesn't even cost that much, just been spending money on the house and vacations to get out of Alaska for a bit lol.
Suspension keeps getting pushed to the back burner.

If I wasn't in alaska I would've already had it at 3/5 with 22s.

Welcome. That Z71 looks super clean and you are already on the mod track. A Black Bear tune will wake up your truck. Either an in person tune or via AutoCal.

I have a write up in my build thread about my experience on my 06 Tahoe or there are plenty of guys on here that will vouch for it and there are a few threads about it here as well.

I would get any kind of aftermarket tail lights with a clear reverse light lens. That will make a huge difference in the amount of light that the reverse lights put behind you.
If you really want a large amount of light behind you, these LED reverse lights seem to be popular on here.
I have them on my truck, and several other members here have them.

I was going to go with the LED pods before I got these LED reverse lights.

(They are lighting up the road a good 50 feet down the drive)

I would recommend upgrading those tail light lenses at minimum.

I was thinking about the BB tune but I was wondering if there was any way I could just get a tune done where they send me the programmer to log my data, I send it back, then they send me a tune. Anything similar or do I need the AutoCal?

I already have the Led reverse lights like the ones you posted but they don't really do much. I was thinking maybe instead of Led pods I could do eagle eye leds in the license plate like 05single
