Outfoxed,

You got me really excited over my truck now, i cant wait to finish the suspension on mine! your truck looks great!!!

I wonder how difficult it would be to get a pole going on ride quality with the different vendors that make parts to lower our trucks.

Thanks, Here are some updated pics with the new valance installed. ;)

A ride quality thread/pole would be great. I'm still undecided on my DJM. Front seems to ride fine, maybe a little soft, the rear is what I'm not liking. Don't know if its the shocks, maybe smaller tires, but seems to ride rough over uneven roads. I'm pretty sure I clearanced everything good, I can climb onto the bumper and hop on it and hear no banging or hitting, I dunno???

The door wasn't completely shut so it looks off......

looks good....

i would like to lower mine in a few years when i have the money....

mine is still at stock ride height... and it does not ride that great.... i think it is a combination of the short wheel base and stiff rear springs....

have you checked to make sure your drive shaft isn't hitting the floor support? I had to notch the support on mine.

First post :)
This is my inspiration. Grimee, I have been searching long and far for you man. There are a lot fo great looking Tahoes in here, funny I didnt find this thread earlier.
This is my Hoe, nothing big. BT flip w/helpers, Hotchkis coils and Bilsteins. Looking to upgrade shocks, unless I find a linked rear.

Grimee, do you have a build thread? Your Tahoe is exactly what I have been dreaming about for almost 5 years. Great job, it looks amazing.

Re: How about some pics of 2WD 2DR Tahoe/Yukons
 
Thanks Sqznby I put allot of thought into my builds .sorry to say there is no build thread Truckin is going have coverage of the build coming up we have over 3000 pics but my photographer has em and i cant get at them here ia another pic without all the decalshttp://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...owdowncopy.jpg

Sqznby 08-11-2012 12:18 PM

Re: How about some pics of 2WD 2DR Tahoe/Yukons
 
I'll be keeping my eyes out for that issue. 3000 pictures, wow. Thats should be quite the spread. Will that feature have specs on wheels/tires backspacing and such as well as if the rear was narrowed and tubbed? I am very interested in your suspension set up.
Thank You for that shot, it looks great.
You really did an amazing job.

Grimee 08-14-2012 11:54 PM

Re: How about some pics of 2WD 2DR Tahoe/Yukons
 
its supposed to be in several issues and they will not be using all 3000 pics

Re: How about some pics of 2WD 2DR Tahoe/Yukons
 
Grabbed it, check post #290 :)
Are there any future plans to be featured in any other magazines?

Is that considered an LS3 or an ERod?
Did you have any problems with emissions, being in Cally?
Thanks

Grimee 09-08-2012 10:51 AM

Re: How about some pics of 2WD 2DR Tahoe/Yukons
 
Truckin is going to run a series of build articles covering the whole truck .I originally set it up to be compliant but it does not need to be smogged again for over a year so I am going to go for the most power i can get right now then worry about smog later .The motor is an iron block 6,0 with an ls3 top end the iron block handles horse power a little better than the aluminum on the dyno this motor made 746 hp with 6 lbs boost on 91 we got 850 ish with more boost and race gas

Sqznby 09-08-2012 12:29 PM

Re: How about some pics of 2WD 2DR Tahoe/Yukons
 
Cool, how much of a stretch are they going to do. 2 or 3 magazines?
What would you have to change or add to pass an emissions test? Just curious, living on the east coast seems to be a lot easier to pass emissions, well at least in MA and NC. Also a member of another forum has asked this question to do a swap in a Tahoe.

That motor is a beast. I have an aluminum 5.3 that I'm gathering parts for to go into my Tahoe. It wont near as much as your but will be a nice cruiser for sure.

Is it ok if I post pictures of your Tahoe in other forums? I would not do it without your permission.

Thanks for everything, I appreciate it.

Grimee, that is one awesome powerplant.

Re: How about some pics of 2WD 2DR Tahoe/Yukons
 
thanks guys
In theory all i need to do is change the adjustable fuel pressure to an 03 corvette reg with return. and add the charcoal canister from the donor vehicle its got cats and stock exhaust manifolds the charger has a carb number the cai has a carb number and it has to pass smog as an 03
you can post pics any where you like.heres a pic of the motor in the truckhttp://i254.photobucket.com/albums/h...grimes/010.jpg
