OBS Tweaks and Mods
 

Hey guys. We all know OBS's are great trucks the way they are. But, none of us can leave them alone. I want to see any tweaks and mods that you do, just to see what is out there. The point of this is knowledge sharing. Maybe you have a tip or tweak that other people havent seen yet. Im talking about the little subtle things that really stand out. Lights in the upper corners, modded taillights, dash tweaks, etc. I even want to see simple stuff like leds in the cupholders.

Simplest and best looking fix to me was 73-87 rally wheels. Used them on my 92 and 96. I am not a big fan of large wheels, but love these on the OBS.

The 92 only had 235/75x15 (they came with the wheels). The last set I ran on the 96 were 31x10.50x15. The trim rings on the 96 came off an F150 which I liked better than the original trim rings.

My 1994 Original owner,original paint, I also love the 73-87 15x8 rallys

I agree on the rally's. I have a 4wd Yukon with 33s with them, IMO looks better than any factory wheel and most aftermarket. I'm not into the huge wheel thing either, or having stick way out. Something I did that was a huge upgrade, was change to Kodiak door handles. Much easier to open, especially in the winter when the seals tend to freeze and stick.

I didn't add this sun visor, it was on when I got the truck. I like it. There are drain holes in the contours, but if I park on a slope and it rains they hold enough water to dump when I move. It took a couple times, but I leave the windows shut until it clears. Bug shield was also on it, and big tires.

here is a welded roll pan, hidden hitch behind plate (blacked out for pic)
i have always liked these trucks WITH handles, being smooth and body color hides them.

this also has the sport mirrors, and the stake pockets filled and smoothed.

Dash tweaks? All dash's break eventually, so my tweak was to cover the whole replacement in alcantera so I won't know next time it cracks hahaha

I put 7" Accuride wheels on my Suburban off an F350 with '76-'91 hubcaps. I also tweaked the torsion bars to raise the front end 2". I also ran dual exhaust behind the rear wheels. I removed the emblem from the tailgate meaning to install an earlier (square body) one, but haven't done it yet.

First two are pictures from the ad when I found it and next two are after I tweaked it

Re: OBS Tweaks and Mods

the have an electronic window that shows all gauges as well as a performance screen..IE 1/4 mile time, 0-60 ect...
