Hi all! New owner as of last night, first post here. Just bought my wife an 08 Tahoe LTZ loaded up with Nav, DVD, backup camera, 2nd Row captains, upgraded GM 20" wheels, etc. We searched for a while but and found the right 'hoe for us... it's super clean and my wife loves it. I'm not so sure about the GM CK 945 wheels though. We may try to find a set of stock LTZ wheels to swap on and if she likes them better, than sell these. So these maybe for sale soon. Here are some pics. And yes the front and rear (yes rear :emotions122:) extra fog lights were removed prior to purchase. Also looks like the previous owner added some smoke window vents, but that's it.

Future mod list includes: HIDs, black front bowtie, debadging, z71 aluminum dash(or maybe painted or vinyl), remove the roof rack, Ipod integration, Nav TV module, Drone remote start for our smartphones, and a smooth painted hitch cover. We'd also love to eventually do the Esky taillights too!

Let me know what you think. I'm a GM guy ( I have an 87 Monte Carlo SS, 87 Buick Regal Turbo T WE4 (just like the Grand national), and an 07 TrailBlazer SS) none of which are stock, so this Tahoe fits the bunch well! I hope to learn a lot here and make some new friends along the way. Thanks guys!
