New to the forum - My 95 Tahoe - *Lots of pictures*

[Little Red]

Nice Tahoe, I like the red and black.
The spray on bed liner looks really good, I am planning on doing the same to my Suburban this summer when the weather gets better.

 

[Humvette]

any plans for bigger tires?
Are those 285's?

I had a 2dr Yukon for 7 yrs. I love it!!!

Wish i never sold it.

Thank you for all of the nice comments. The rocker panels are coated with bed armor by duplicolor. Yes, my tires are 285's. I plan to run a set of 33" tires. Hopefully I'll get them before next winter. I won't be able to run anything larger because I won't be able to fit in my garage. Future mods include a dual battery setup, high amp alternator and a rear bumper with a spare tire carrier.

looks good. Im diggin the lowered chevy next to it also

Thank you! That truck is my 91 chevy short bed reg cab. All shaved with caddy tail lights, 5/7 drop with 17" American racing torque thrust II's. And it is in desperate need of a good engine and some paint!

Looks bad azz ! :victory: I wish id kept mine but had to sell unfortunally What mounts did you use for the switches ?

 

[dy_lon]

Correction: my tires are 265's.I appoligize for that. I have a set of 17" black Cragar Soft 8's in 17x8 and i have a set of 305/70 17's waiting to be installed along with a few other new mods. I hope to work on it a bunch in the next few days and i will add more pics!

For the carling rocker switch mounts, I bought some of the pop in mounts from OTRATTW.com and then dremel'd out a rectangle in the over head console panel. Mine does not have rear a/c controls ( I am not sure if any of them did?) so it was pretty easy. I ran my wiring all through relays so i was able to run all of my switch wiring very easily to that fuse box that i made with very small guage wire.

Any tips on doing the fuse box ? I have so many wires all over the place !

Did you replace you heater core while you had that mess all apart :Wow1:

 

[dy_lon]

I checked out the heater core when I had it apart and it looked brand new still.....I hope.

Thanks for all the kind words...I have out a lot of time, effort and money into it and I like showing it to people who appreciate it.

Here are a couple new pics...

I had a couple of PM's on how I wired my Aux wiring. I created the schematic below for this.



I used the following products to make my installation as neat as possible:

Fuse box: Blue Seas ST Blade Fuse Block With Cover

http://otrattw.com/proddetail.php?prod=5025B




Switches: Carling Rocker Switches

http://otrattw.com/products.php?cat=19


Relay Holders:

Inline fuse holders if you dont need as many fuses:

Radio Shack Hobby Box to house everything:

And of course I used a lot of wire. Being that the relay doesnt need a very large wire to be activated, I ran cat-5 or ethernet cable from the switch (load Side) to the "86" prong on the relay. I used this type of wire because it is small, easy to run and allows you to run one cable and power many different things because of the multiple lengths of wire in the cable.

I have had absolutley ZERO issues with this. I have had my front Hella's on for hours at a time on back roads and never ever had any issues.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

I hope this helps anyone with future questions.
