🔧 BUILD IlikeMTB’s new whip thread V. BUILD THAT WALL ALREADY

[greasy]

This looks awesome already with the little you have done to it!

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

What did you order? Just the pad for the steering wheel? I researched it two years ago but long forgot what I needed to add those.

It’s the buttons and the harness for said buttons. I think I paid $45 for both with the eBay 15% off. I’ll see if I can find the thread again. I’m terrible at saving links.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Here it is: I haven’t gotten the parts yet so can’t verify it works. I’ll let you know when I do though.

Even after some scrubbing and pressure washing there’s still residual. Plus I’ll be doing the same drive in a few weeks so that would be great. It’s not terrible at hiding scratches and dirt but bugs sure stick out on the front

i will send you a PM

I would like to hear Gav's bug removal tips also.

Can I ask why your lowering it?

The border patrol trucks I thought were lifted/leveled. C.M. didnt have any good 4x4 municipality Tahoes?

I know you lowered your 3/4 ton. I thought the Tahoe and lowered truck would be about the same height?

I dig these Tahoes and have thought about getting one to daily ALOT

Unless I spent $15k plus I wasn’t getting anything this nice. It’s got low hours, good condition and low miles.

I lowered it because I have a tall vehicle already and I wish it could be lower honestly but I don’t want to cut any more metal on it

Also it’ll spend 90% if it’s time on pavement except for dirt roads to trail heads and maybe some soft roading here and there. I also dislike mall crawlers. It’ll probably end up about an inch lower than where it is now. We’ll see.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

So confirmed my Tahoe is indeed leveled AND now lowered


I’ll be removing these spacers soon enough. Then cutting the rear bump stop brackets to get 3” more of travel.

It’s damn near exactly level right now but I feel like anything in the back will ass sag it. Ordered some helper bags too and depending on how much those spacers lower it, I still have a rear spring spacer I can take out to lower more. I like a little bit of rake, like an inch or so.

my dad had an 11' he put the helper bags on he was towing a boat that was right at the limit of the truck, they helped out alot but he ended up getting a 2500hd to make it a little safer on long trips

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Funny I’m going the other way

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Here’s the end result. I’m quite happy with how it’s sitting finally. Rear bags showed up today so maybe I’ll get those in this week.

 

[IDAFC21]

That just looks good.

 

[IceCreamAssassin]

It’s so good, pretty much perfect height.

 

[Bub]

Damn. I like it a lot. I'm not at all feeling the cop wheels but it looks good man. Nice work.

 

[SleeperLS]

Perfect

 

[Spivitz]

Looks real slick lowered

It’s half the reason I bought it, the wheels and no roof rack. Outside will stay as is.....but I did have thoughts of adding a shorty push bar if I can find one.

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

Push bar fo sho
Looks good Joel!

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Thanks guys!



Changed rear diff oil today, was nice and clean. I don’t have g80 on my rpo list but thought just maybe something else was in there.... open diff.


Also swapped rear speakers and turns out that’s all it was. No cut wires after all.

 

[SaturdaysGS]

Looks awesome. However I am surprised you have an open diff... I should have went white! Do you have a hitch?

I’m surprised it’s an open diff too. This thing has for sure seen some off-roading with how much dirt and shit packed underneath.


It’s got a factory hitch and trailer brake, which I also found an odd add on.
