I live the wheels!

 

[Goodinblack]

Link to the headlights?

 

[JesusArTorres]

Are those oem fender flares or aftermarket?

 

[RobbieX210X]

Sorry guys I didn't see your replies to my build and I've been away since my last update. The fenders have factory fender flares. The headlights are from Amazon. I searched for 2003 Tahoe Headlights and I can't seem to find a link anymore but they are around. Now to change my notification settings..

Cent frm a smert fone.

Hey if your looking for some led tail lights that fit, I made a thread on it in my signature . I modded mine slightly and got them to fit.

Thanks, I will probably stick with the stock lights. Running out of Room in the garage. Was thinking of going with the stock ones your Yukon had with the darker surround unlike the red I have on my tail lights.

The wheel spacers have been removed. They didn't age well. Live and learn.

 

[YukonXL04]

hmm. thats not good.
were they good ones? or cheapies?

 

[RobbieX210X]

They were decent quality. Kinda pricey. They oxidized and the nuts to hold it to the studs oxidized as well. Some worse then others. I took them off to reduce the strain on the joints. I didn't really need them. I got them from Motor City Bolt On.. oddly enough there website doesn't exist currently... of course OCD and the desire for things to be meticulously perfect didn't help. I'm sure they are still usable just I wasn't happy.

New Radio Head Unit!

I had a new Alpine Head Unit installed over Memorial Day Weekend. I am happy but also a little disappointed. The unit must remain on at all times just so I can see the clock...

Can't complain about how he setup the antenna though. Looks pretty good. Only had the radio malfunction once so far..

What is the offset for your wheels? That is the look I like.

OEM Cargo Cover!

Found a OEM Cargo Shade in the garage while looking for something else. Been searching for awhile. This one came out of our 2000 Tahoe. Wrong color but it fits!

I am not really sure to be honest. I listed what brand they are on here somewhere. I just went to www.TireRack.com to get them.

Pulled the Alpine Radio unit out and put the factory one back in. Became unhappy with it after a few months.

 

[RobbieX210X]

Some minor updates over the past couple months. I had to have both front hubs replaced since one of them had worn out and the dealer factory warrantied the other one at no cost!

I did try to check the hubs myself but couldn't get to them but did find that I was missing a sway-bar link for who knows how long.

Driver Side

Passenger Side

So I needed new ones. Dealer helped me out once again. Looks like something I could have done which would have saved a few bucks but they had it is the air already for the new front hubs.

Truck rides much better, handles better, and even turns better!

 

[RobbieX210X]

I was getting condensation in the headlights and I couldn't seem to seal them any which way I tried so I removed them. That, and I couldn't find a good matching rear set that would fit a Tahoe with Cargo Doors.

Just going to have to keep the stock lights.

 

[RobbieX210X]

I had the K&N Intake kit in for a couple years now and while I swapping my headlights I noticed that the intake tube was sitting higher than it should be turned out that it had shifted and wasn't even fully attached anymore. I had to pull it off and make some adjustments to the radiator fan shroud to stop the rubbing.

As you can somewhat see it is rubbing hard of the hoses.

I gave it small clearance but to re-align it on my own was a little tough so after a week of driving it, the tube is rubbing again. Going to have to take another look at re-aligning it.

Sucks about the lights, but still coming along nicely

Thanks, I am getting condensation in the factory bumper lens now. I can't win but these I can deal with. The aftermarket ones were way too noticeable!

 

[RobbieX210X]

So I had a friend help me re-adjust the intake and this time we got it to line up correctly. I also shaved the fan shroud a bit more to give it some extra clearance to avoid rubbing! So far so good!
