Hey guys. I'm picking up a 1995 4 door, 4x4 Tahoe in a few weeks from my brother so I figured I'd go ahead and sign up on this site and get things started while I'm waiting on the truck.
First the truck:
I only have 1 photo of the truck, but its a foggy picture and its on my phone, so I'll just describe it as best I can. Its completely stock inside and out. The body is super straight and no rust that I've seen yet. Its got grey leather interior but the previous owner was a mechanic and it shows with all of the motor oil and grease that has been rubbed into the leather and the carpet. There are no tears or thin spots that I've found-just tons of surface area that needs a thorough scrubbing. The body has been POORLY repainted the original color of white, leaving me with all of the door trim painted white and several tall, thick paint runs in a few spots. I know it sounds horrible, but I promise its not as bad as it sounds.
Now for me:
I'm new to the 4x4 world. For the last 10+ years, I've only dealt with static dropped and airbagged minitrucks. I'm no stranger at all to modifying suspensions, customizing interiors, custom fabrication, etc. I've just been going down instead of coming up.
I plan on customizing the Tahoe to the hilt. Some influences will come from the custom minitruckin world (like shaving body/door trim and badges, sound deadening the roof &doors while improving the sound system, tinting the front 4 windows) and some will come from the off road world (like a lift kit, offroad style bumpers, LED light bar).
You guys will most likely see alot of my user name and even see a few "dumb" questions from me for a while until I get used to the truck and learn its ins and outs. Thanks in advance for any information you guys can offer and thanks for putting up with a 4x4 noobie.
