BAMF Pri's 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe build thread

Not sure why, some shows up white and some dark green. Not sure if it’s my tapa being fgt again or not.

I debated going up or down with mine since it’s 2wd. Went down a little didn’t care for it, but now going further down lol

Thanks for the nice words guys.

Tried convincing her to go down with the Tahoe but she wasn't having it. Would have gone down as low as possible lol. But she wanted to go up so that is why its going up. Should look good when done.

Well ordered a new hd bumper pad and grille for the Tahoe. Bumper pad came in tonight and The company selling the grille informed that there last one had damage so they refunded me the money and I will have to order from somewhere else. Put the pad on and took some pics. Hopefully the hood should be done this week as well.

I'd like an oem one but looked for awhile and no luck ended up buying an ebay one.

Ordered the grille from one seller, they told me when they went to ship their last one in stock was all damaged. So they refunded me and I ordered from another seller. Grille came in and one of the wings was broken so the company is sending me another.

Being in the aftermarket parts business, I can only imagine how many of those get broken in shipping

Buddy of mine went to the painter to pick up a truck of his and sent me a snap. Supposedly the hood had a lot more dents and bondo then it looked like.

Well cone caps for the rims came in and the new bowtie did as well. Waiting for her to get home to install the emblem. Also rims should be here next week so I can see if they'll clear the brake set up like someone previous mentioned they will.

Well a friend of mine who works at a custom shop had a customer getting rid of some decent 285/75r16 nitto terra grapplers so I was able to get them.

Also she decided on Illusion Malbec for powder, so it'll get dropped off soon. Going to worry about lift spindles and t bar relocaters later.

The powder color

Small update, finally got the hood back from paint and the lift out to powder. All that's left is for the front is color match and billet
