thanks, no i bought it with 220ish miles a few months ago, i've replaced both front wheel bearings and a battery, i have NO service history and i bought it with an oil leak. over the time ive had it, it has developed a lower end tick and lifter noise on start-up . but it looks very solid everywhere and drives very nicely with no creaks or funny noises, or water leaks, the door checkers are a bit sticky and the rear lift glass is brocken at the hinges but that's the worst of it.
Lets see your full size Chevy!!!

Amen! And perfect way to put it too..
Unless you are out in the wild trying to survive off the land.. hah. Then I can understand being upset with not catching anything.

Thanks a lot, guys. A lot of fun for sure... except on the freeway! Ideally I'll never get rid of this Sub and would like to eventually do a LQ/NV4500 swap and freshen up the suspension components. My long-term goal is to have all the modern conveniences and drive train while retaining the (IMO) classic look, utility and durability. Forget the conveniences for now though, these trucks get the job done. Even at 25 years old, she's the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned.

Well a long time lurker and a fellow full size chevy owner I guess its time to do my part. I'm an avid member over on Z71Tahoe-Suburban and came here to get more info on expo knowledge for future plans to explore after I graduate college.
Started with a bone stock 2004 Z71 Tahoe back in '07. Those were the highschool days so the high school mods started.
Later on I added Bilstein 5100s, 1.5 coil spacers with ford keys and pro comp wheels with BFG all terrains, when through my fair share of different light setups, ect ect.
Then finally found an ARB on craigslist list and got it mounted up and bolted down. Tow mirrors too
[/URL]
Now it sits with everything above, 07+ Z71 wheels, 35" Micky Thompson MTZs, and a 3" body lift with some other goodies.
Here's a frontal but with the 275/70/18 Cooper STTs i ran in between the Pro Comp wheels and the 35's
en-route is a custom built rear bumper with tire carrier and jerry-can mount. Will post pics when its done being built and bolted up. I'll get a build thread going with all my goodies and what i've learned through the past couple of years.

My 90 Jimmy
Finally had to retire the 79 K5 i had after all these years due to a whipple tbi supercharger experiment went wrong.
Took me a while to find this clean 90 that was garage kept for the last 4 years or so but it was well worth the wait.
The 79 was kinda like an organ donor as the 90 recieved the air locked 4.88 axles and tires...front ORD bumper and
10k warn winch. I can't take any credit for the work as i am a busy beaver in the oil fields of colorado. My dear friend
Dave E. did all the work for me. He did recieve the 79's doubler tcase...trans and driveshafts for a project of his in return
plus a lil bit of the green stuff. I can't explain how happy i am with the out come because his work is about as anal as i
was back in my wrenching days...which reminds of a certain friend in Az with the same work ethic....lol. Anyways next
month will be rock sliders and a custom rear bumper. After that...if the chip tuning doesn't go well enough their maybe
an LS swap in her future....or maybe just a cam and a few other goodies as i rather enjoy using the cruise control to and
from work. The biggest choice i have to make is....camper...or no camper. After owning a few chalets and a 4wheel pop
top i am rather found or the turtle top approach....
The front 8" Baja Design LaPaz lights are stout...and they work well....but the two Rigid D2 Led's up front make them look
candles so they while be replaced by a 30/40 inch bar. Its amazing how much better the Led lights are....utterly amazing.
Anyways this is my current work truck as my dodge has a piston/blow by issue but i look forward to getting it into expedition
shape as i tire of seeing Nick wandering around in the burb he bought from me way back in 02 and having all that fun without
me....lol.
