Sorry, I don't remember. 13 mm I think.
EDIT: Just 6x 13MM bolts hold the hood in place. Posted on @Galandorian build page.

Just found another one about 5 hrs away. Think I’m going to get it this weekend!

He said I could have it for $150 but I should’ve started lower at $100 haha

Maybe I’ll go ahead and ask him to throw in the HD front in since he doesn’t seem to really care. Try to get the hood and front for $200 maybe

Definitey try to the get the rest of the HD front end, even if he wants a bit more. Be a complete package and will look great. For those of us who like the HD hood and grille, it is a cool transformation. Good luck.

The HD package is just the Hood and the front grille? I don't need the bumper or anything do I?

You don't need it, but that's the complete package. You'd have to cut off and reweld your original bumper mounts if you use the HD bumper. Not a big deal from what I've heard.

^^This. Sorry should have been more specific. You can re-weld the brackets or perhaps put a body lift on to allow for the differential in spacing. That is if you want to go the full HD route. Just some options to consider. You could always grab it while you are there and decide later or sell it off if you don't want to mess with it. @Tonyrodz has just the hood and grille. I only have the hood. Good luck man.

See here where Scottyboy mentions the body lift in post #23034 and the poster before him has the bumper as well post #23021.

Thx for filling in the blanks. Does look good if added, imo.

Yeah buddy. Hanging around here long enough, like you, post and threads get remembered. Just where to find them sometimes...especially if you step away for a few days or weeks.

Nonetheless, the HD hood will look good on his Tahoe.
6 bolts plug and play direct swap.

I know the Tahoe grille has the 4 screw body mounts and the body clips on the sides. Is the HD grill the same? Just trying to make sure I have all the tools for removal.

I doubt I will get the bumper. I'm not in the position to take parts and store them. Don't have a house or garage so might just have to take what I can put on in the near future

Put the bumper under your bed.

Yup, pretty much the same deal. Make sure you bring a 10 mm socket, extension with ratchet, philips screw driver, and you should be good.

I'd opt for the $200 hood and have pops take care of all the leg work as opposed to $150 and driving 10 hours. Either way, nice score!

Road trip for HD hood and grille underway. My buddy let me borrow his little ranger. Needed to give my Hoe a break this weekend. Plus 22MPG was nice too
