Thread: The Tahoe GM should've made...Tahoe SS-Complete

My wife drove this Tahoe for 2 years before I inherited it. I told if her she wanted me to drive it (so she could get an Acura MDX) I'd need to make it my own. So I ditched the 24s she had on it and started with the project of "The Tahoe that GM should've made"

Exterior
Trailblazer SS Factory Reproduction 22s in Competition Gray
Roof Rack Shaved (the right way welded/painted, etc)
Street Scenes Front Bumper with Gray color matched Ducts & Speed Grille
Chrome Grille Surround painted to match wheels/ducts with Speed Grille
Street Scenes Side skirts (in place of running boards)
Rear Bowtie sprayed Competition Gray to match rest
De-Badged & De-molded

Suspension
2 in drop front - McG spindles
3 in drop rear - Pedders (smoothest coil I tried) & Belltech Drop Shocks
Hotchkis Sway Bar

Interior
Woodgrain Sprayed Gloss Black

Coming Soon -
Performance - Either a LS motor swap or a supercharger or both....
Brakes - Big Brake kit front and rear (coming very soon)
Stereo - Not sure yet. Probably going to be very mild considering that part of my life having 10 12s in the back is long gone lol


Save the "Needs to be lower comments" lol I've heard it a million times but there are 3 reasons I dont want it lower
1. I love how it rides. Never been in a dropped truck that rides this good.
2. I take out investors/clients/employees on a daily basis...I need a "conservative" vehicle
3. GM would never make a slammed truck from the factory. I want this truck to turn heads in a "Is that a new Tahoe SS manner" lol. Custom but not if you feel me.


These aren't the best pics in the world but they're all I could swing for now

I like it alot man.

Hot! I like it. Takin OEM plus to the new Tahoe!

I really like what you have done thus far.

a humble suggestion
DO the centers of the seats with Alcantra, OEM 2SS TB have that option.
White Faced Guages ala, TBSS
Exhaust
and rear gears for now.

I had a TBSS before this truck and I'm in complete agreement with you. I just don't know at what point to stop b/c I don't know how much longer I'm gonna have this thing. I've got an itch for a new grand cherokee SRT8 lol.

Love it! I think it looks classy without being ridiculous. Nice work!

I got way better things to spend $20k on lol. Would be nice but if anything I'll do a 6.2 swap (denali/LS2 block) and/or supercharge it.

Just chill with it for now and trade it on the new Gen Cherokee SRT-8!

And I'm a chevy guy for the record.

Very nice truck!
