Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

So this thing is just about done, I’m assuming.

Has been, for a long time.

NOPE! Far from done.

Ok guys, I've bowed to the pressure and I'm starting my build thread. I'm going to try to remember them in order, but it's been an ongoing process, so I'm a little foggy. I started with a bone stock 03 Tahoe, with 212,000 miles. Did duty as a real estate shuttle vehicle, so I'd have to assume all required maintenance was performed as I didn't receive any maintenance records. Came with the 4.8, 4wd and as a nice bonus the 3.73 rear. All the usual options, no onstar, Bose or moon roof, which is perfectly fine with me.
On to the mods.
Very first mod I did was to replace my front bumper, my original had a big dent in the center. Replaced it with a good used one. 2nd mod was to plastidip my stock Tahoe rims. Had the usual clear coat issues. View attachment 79874
I figured I might as well do my belt mouldings, as they looked a little faded and I hated the fake plastic chrome. I also dipped the stock chrome grill, as it had seen better days.View attachment 79891 View attachment 79875I then removed the lower plastic plates that blocked some vent openings. Get some more air flow in there. Can't hurt, right?

I’d be more direct myself, something along the line of “ dude I need to get my truck running, what do we need to make it happen? This engine would work, we need to get it”. F the sarcasm, it’s not gonna work on him. I mean if you need to owe him some money then he should be ok with that, he owns a shop and he’s your friend. Maybe offer to split the cost of that motor and tell him you’ll make payments.
