Hey all, been lurking around here for a while, and figured i should post up a few pics of my truck as well. Theres some great looking trucks on here! Hopefully mine can compete.
As all vehicles are, mine is still a slight work in progress.
Here is a quick pic:
It is a 2011 Tahoe LT, with every option except nav and backup camera. I added those my self, a Pioneer Avic unit and camera.
Truck sits on a 6" Fabtech lift, 18" wheels with 4.5" backspace and 35" BFG All Terrain tires. I have regeared it to 4.56, which helped substantially with the get up and go, and even improved the fuel economy. I now get about 16mpg around town, and 20 down the interstate. It is a metallic black with black interior.
Other mods include black bow ties front and rear, a 20" Rigid Industries LED light mounted behind the grill and 8000K HID headlights in the low beams. Here is what the grill light looks like:
I also added a set of Whelen LED lights on a Whelen Tag Mount to use as reverse lights. They are Super Bright. These are the same lights used on most Police cars, I just made them a steady burn instead of a flash pattern.
I also work as an Electrical Contractor, so I need a nice trailer to go along with the truck that can traverse any job site out there, so I got an old military M105 trailer to put my tools and material in:
I have since removed all of the "Tahoe" badges and added a CB radio with the antenna on a mount that goes between the tail light lens and body. Once we get some better weather I will get a couple pics up of that.
I bought this truck new last January, and have really enjoyed it. Next couple of mods will be a set of tow mirrors to aid in pulling my trailers around and possibly a set of cab lights off a 2012 Chevy HD pickup. Always liked the look of cab lights on trucks. I will probably eventually do a body lift as well, just for that extra height.
Hope you guys enjoy the pictures! If you have any questions on the truck please feel free to ask.
