Thread bump from the dead.
History
I Purchased a 1998 Teal Tahoe off of craigslist for $2500 and thought it was a steal, even passed 2014 NY Inspection. Her previous owner had it as his 2nd vehicle and due to the poor economy needed to get rid of it. From her maintenance records she has been driven roughly 600 miles between 2/13 and 8/11. She had complete front brake work done as well as sway bars and a battery. Let me be the first to tell you this thing is CLEAN. Inside and out. For a 15year old Tahoe being a NY vehicle the only thing that needs attention is the frame being very crusty after sitting. Rockers, doors, and the tail gate will need minor attention to prevent the rust but hell its my first truck and GMT400. One of the most interesting things I noticed about my Tahoe is that i have the 4DR and well, it has a two seat third row which is currently sitting in my shed but still. I believe its a special only option and well i have YET to see another.
Specs:
LT
154,000 Miles
5.7l Vortec
4L60E
10 Bolt rear end
4X4 on the floor
Tailgate/ Hatch rear window
Power everything
3rd row of seating.
What my plans are once more money comes in and warm weather (in order of what needs to be done):
- Undercoat with POR15 (frame, crossmembers, axle, IFS, driveshaft, Wheel wells) - DONE
- Sand rockers and bottom of door, paint with truck bed liner or POR15 - DONE
- New 265/70R16 - DONE
- New rear bumper
- Vacuum and Shampoo - DONE
- Fog Lights or just like KC's - DONE
- New head unit - DONE
- Those window guard things? - DONE
- HD mirrors (my motorized ones are toast)
- Im thinking a 1-2" BL to clear 285s... not positive
- Small Roof basket
Rain Guards
Fog Lights
Chrome Lips removed (I.HATE.RUST!)
Subwoofer and bedlined trunk
Radar and Headunit
