Seen people mention the Wilco carrier but there's also the RIGd mega-carrier for a bit more and it's built the carry 35"+ tires on an HD truck (I think up to 40"). I have the multi-fit on my Tahoe since I'm only running 33s. They also have a camera relocation kit for it
I also liked it...
Not sure if I've mentioned it on this thread but I love the General Grabber ATX's. They're pretty quiet, have plenty of grip, very similar tread pattern to the KO2's but slightly cheaper, also they're ice stud-able if that matters. The factory size set I had on the Tahoe even had a 60k mile...
My first vehicle was a '93 K1500 Blazer. Oil pump failed one day and had to sell it cause at the time I couldn't afford a new motor
I also thought about getting an '07-14 but the towing rating is abysmal for a vehicle that size. From what I've read it's only about 5000lbs compared to my '04's...
Long post:
So I guess it's been a while since I've updated this thread but since the last update I've done a few things.
In April/May I picked up a RIGd tire carrier when they had a sale
Not long after that I had a flowmaster 50 delta flow muffler welded in for just a bit more noise...
Lost every gear except park as I was about to leave for work earlier. Turns out the bushing that connects the shift cable to the transmission failed after almost 200k miles. Thankfully parents live only about ten minutes away and I could borrow dad's truck for the night. Made it to work on time...
Got rid of the dusty, restricting, factory intake tube for one from AirRaid. Probably making 1 extra hp and 1 or 2 more mpg haha. Put an AEM dryflow filter in the stock airbox cause I figured that would be best to keep out dust and dirt. I can now hear the induction noise for a split second...
The Tahoe currently is my daily driver, but hopefully in the next few months it will become my "every-other-daily" driver. Hoping to get something fun for on road/track that's halfway decent on fuel. Better than 14mpg at least
Not my rig but Dad's RAM needed new headlights so he ordered and I installed some new black housings and Beamtech LED bulbs. Old ones were so scratched/cloudy that a restore kit did hardly anything. Hopefully won't have to adjust them more than I have cause it's a pain to do on this truck...
My 2004 Tahoe will average 14mpg. Not horrible for 4 speed hauling 6000lbs, roughly 500 of that is me and the mods and gear I carry daily. It's definitely factory geared for being a highway bruiser cause on a road trip averaging about 70mph I got a hair over 17mpg
So for towing there is a hitch slot that's inline with where it mounts to your vehicle. That hitch is rated for 10,000lbs which is about 2500 more than what my Tahoe is rated for. I will say that with a 75lb tire, ~45lb bike rack, and 37lb bike there is a little bit of wobble but nothing that is...
Had mine since March-ish and the only complaint I really have is the safety pin has rusted quite a bit but still holds. Also I had to buy a hitch extension to fit my bike rack on it
Not much but LED hibeams and lowbeams, led blinkers, swapped DRL's to blinkers to look like the 90's Chevy's, and some cheap Amazon fog lights with orange tint. (Pic is from when they had yellow tint, looked green when they were on and didn't like it)
Also @RoarinRow I have a fleece performance...
Installed my rebuilt gauge cluster today. It all works great especially the new LEDs and transmission temp gauge. No more "suffering" with my dad's RAM that has about 100 more hp than me haha
I really like the General Grabber ATX's I have on my Tahoe. Plenty of grip even when I get the urge to do dumb "highschool kid" stuff and they won't break traction at street pressure. Had them for about a year and a half and they have about half life left. Probably would have more but I still...
