05Z71Hoe's 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe

Just traded in, for a 2009 Z71

This is my 2005 Tahoe Z71 . It has the factory Navigation stereo, factory TV DVD player, and rear bucket seats. Computer mods made(shift points changed, Rev limiter changed, top speed limiter reset to 120), I did a Gibson Exhaust, S&B cold air intake, 1 inch spring spacer lift in the rear and Ford torsion keys for a 2-2.5" lift up front(pictures to come), 285/70 BFGoodrich All Terrains, 30% tint on front windows and windshield, Ram air hood, Stainless pushbar, Chrome door handles, Speed grill insert, HIDs in headlights and fog lights, LED tail lights and cab marker lights, PIAA lights in rear of luggage rack, KC Hilights, Back up camera, gray gauges, Custom console, Clear turnsignals, Billet bowtie, 6 Hideaway strobes, 4 Hideaway LEDs and even more LEDS through-out with Smartsiren(for all you fire and police buffs), and Black Chevy Police package wheels with BFGoodrich all terrains for the winter and off-roadin. During the summer, the Chrome Chevy 20s go back on.

I spent 2 full days taking EVERYTHING out.  What I can switch over to the new truck, I will, everything else I'll sell.  I dont really want to have to ship anything big, Id prefer to deal with local Tahoe owners due to the ease and my lack of free time.  So far, I still have to sell the hood, LED turn signals, LED tail lights, chrome speed grill.

Even with his lift and MTRs my truck being almost twice the size of the narrow and short Jeep, I got just about everywhere he did. The locking differential that the Off-road package comes with pulled me thru the mud and up hills when any of the 4 tires left the ground.  I just didn't go through the 2foot deep mud, cause I'd never get my truck as clean as it was ever again.

You too man. I'm loving the white on black look. The shocks I got are longer which helps a lot. The ride is not stiff at all. One of the reasons I got new shocks was because I had around 60,000 miles on my truck and that's around the time where the shocks start to give. I could tell a HUGE difference when I put the new shocks on. I love them, and for the price, you can't go wrong.
