Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

3AM, 6AM, 9AM, Noon, 3PM, 6PM, 8PM, 10PM...

Sometimes she gets bored and wants to go out and lay in the sun or if at night to hunt for frogs or snakes or rabbits.

I finally stuck my head under the Hoe to check out his work after he swapped out the rear. It's eh.
What's this line for? I thought it was a vent for the rear--it's not.

 

[Tonyrodz]

I think he routed the parking brake cable wrong.
Doesn't it go through this on the ds?

 

[Tonyrodz]

Hole is still there.
I have the Hellwig swaybar in the middle hole, does anyone know which would be the firmest? Is it the outermost or inner? @Doubeleive ?

It/they do go through that loop. I can't recall at the moment, but I think I flipped mine over to route my cables over the axle after I lowered it. Or maybe I tried that and settled on routing them under but up higher. I forget exactly. Either way, they should be going through that loop to keep them from rubbing on something in that area.

Rubbing on the shock big time.

I think mine is in the OE position, under the axle and the sway bar, and they both go through that wire loop in front of the axle:

Thx for the pic. I don't even know what would be the easiest way to reroute the cables. I don't think I could disconnect them easily. Btw--he didn't even hook up my parking brake.

Dang. Yeah cables should be under the axle. That hose? Half assed, they rushed you through for sure. That's the axle they replaced? Looks like it was pulled out of the river. Doesn't even look like they cracked the cover off it. Is there oil in it? Yikes. Laws of physics I would think further hole softer closer hole firmer.

Not trying to be negative, you know I love ya.


I would pull those rear wheels and check everything out too my man, just for peace of mind.

Yeah, he said he was gonna change the fluid--looks like he didn't. I supplied him with the rear, so that isn't his fault. It was the only reasonable one I could find. That Jersey rust will get you every time. Hopefully I'll be able to take the wheels off next weekend. I just found the ds upper balljoint on my van is bad, so something else I need to do.
