roundsy's 05 daily hoe

[roundsy]

I've been searching around for a new DD to wheel for the winter since I'm trying to keep the salt off of my 08 lifted Sierra. I was fine with either a nbs/nnbs 4x4 Sierra/Silverado CCSB, an avy or a Tahoe/Yukon, basically something I could put my 2 dogs in. I found this on the local CL over the weekend and bought it Monday night.

Specs:
- 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe LT 4x4 5.3L
- 138,500 miles (221,600 km)
- Basically stock minus some chrome trim
- Has new water pump, brakes, and freshly under coated for winter in the last 1k mi
- The only thing it needs is a passenger fog light lens

Plans:
- nnbs GMC 20" with 275/60/20 Cooper Zeon LTZ (from rcsb)
- Windshield brow tint 2.5% or 5%
- BlackBear Tune
- 06 burb valance/fogs
- Clear signal housings and different tails
- Debadge/Demold and remove steps
- Little bit of PDR for 2-3 minor door dings
- Crank stock keys/swap to ford keys eventually
- HD hood if I can find one
- Painted flares
- Painted handles/mirror caps
- Painted bumpers and front cap
- Painted grille with billet inserts and now tie.

Nice find! I also got my 2002 Yukon for winter duty. How much in Freedom Bucks did you spend on it?

Nice find! I also got my 2002 Yukon for winter duty. How much in Freedom Bucks did you spend on it?

It was about $5900 USD after conversion. I looked at a few other similarly optioned ones from some of the dealerships around here and most were around $8000ish.

Glad you made it over here, man! Nice Hoe!

Me too, lots of good info over here

Those lights should really clean it up! Nice choices

^ Thanks! Got the hoe put on the road this morning and messed around with a few things. I pulled one of the chrome flares off and found that the paint was bubbled underneath so the chrome ones are going to stay for now. I'm going to get the rust fixed, paint blended and then mount some OEM flares (painted eventually).





I cranked the keys and mounted my old wheel setup off of the RCSB, 275/60/20 cooper zeon ltz. No issues with rubbing so I'll probably just rock these until they are worn out before I go any higher.

Looks good on the 20s.

The 20s need to be refinished but they'll do for this upcoming winter
