I’ll get better photos. So, measuring from the top edge of the wheel well. I have not changed height, but I am now running a 31” tire instead of the PPV 29” tire. The tires are now moved 2” up into the well. I am loving the look.

On a side note, I will be doing both upper control arms and bushings sooner then later.

It has been awhile, I have gotten a couple distractions….but now that it is starting to be humane temps around here.

My latest was a hitch. I was pressed for time so got a Curt hitch from uhaul. I will swap it for a bumper style to is in the opening. But this worked for the moment.

I really like what you have done with your Tahoe! I have the exact same hitch that I need to install. Where did you get the 4 pin adapter for yours?

Hit a couple of junkyards today. Forgot to look for gold bow ties. I did get these.

The look I am wanting is slowly being tweaked. I want to make the outside gold bow ties, metal flake blue. On my ride home, was thinking of bringing some blue inside with these and other trim pieces. Anyone customize there trim?

When I bought the dash trim with DIC switches, the wood grain was half the price of brushed, so I just painted it flat black.

First pic the steering column is dropped to change the position sensor.

I had taken these pictures with my work camera and it picked up the dust on the trim. I guess I should have wiped it down before I took the pictures? Oops!

@Ebay Mike That looks awesome! Reminds me of the ambulances we used to build! Same material. View attachment 468903
Same color combination! They could be from the same dept if they did not have different markings on them. Mine is truly from the Winchester New York West Seneca Fire District #1 and it too was the EMS Unit. I am still working on the original style decals to be able to remark it correctly.
