For the most part. Had power window and locks. I added the center console.

I don't believe it is but that's ok because I am swapping it with the extended cab because I have 456 in there.

I didn't want to do it at first but I am so happy that I did!

 

[James Pate]

Got the lift pump, dsp5 switch, and intake swapped over to the crew cab to get it ready for tuning .

Also got the pro comp off of the rear ladder bars.

 

[Moore]

Really can't wait to see this all done, I know its alot of work but it will be so worth it in the end

 

[James Pate]

Yea its been a slow process but way worth it in the end

 

[James Pate]

Got the chrome off today. It is in dire need of a wash but looks like it is about to rain. Also when I get my painted bumper back it wont sag.

 

[Bootstrap]

OMFG fix the front bumper before I kill myself

 

[Bootstrap]

And more Tahoe handles NOW

 

[Moore]

Calm down zach :whoapanda: James the paint doesn't look that bad in the camera shots, so is it?

 

[James Pate]

Haha I said when my painted bumper gets back it will be straight. Also I have a set of rear handles at the same paint guy that is getting smoothed and color matched. The paint isn't terrible there is one spot on the passenger side from the oem molding that needs attention but other than that not to bad

And more Tahoe handles NOW

Thought I was the only one that noticed that :rofl2:

 

[Dakota]

Looks good man, much better without the chrome
Coming along great so far

 

[GeoffSFAs10]

Lookin good and i think the black handles on the rear doors look better then the chrome ones did haha

 

[James Pate]

Lol should look even better when I get the white one back

 

[bayousam]
