Facelift for my Z56 Tahoe

[hrkhotrods]

I had this 00' Denali clip laying around for a couple years now. It originally was intended for my 89' ecsb but plans changed with that truck and I parted it out. The front clip on my Tahoe has seen better days(literally not one straight panel on the front) so after finally installing all new chrome parts on my dad's 04' Sierra, I grabbed his old bumper and decided to use that with the Denali clip. Bumper still needs some tweaking to get it right but not bad for a half a weekends work...

Hardest part was finding the correct pigtails for the parking lights. Ended up finding the brakelamp sockets from an 00-05 Silverado that worked perfectly at the u pull. Better than the $38 ea AutoZone wanted for them new.

Wow that 800 bumper looks surprisingly good.

It does look pretty cool, Nice Job!

Thanks guys. I'm not a big fan of the stock Escalade/Denali bumpers. The 800 series bumper gives it more of a truck look IMO. It was fairly simple to adapt but I'm still not happy. I want to raise it up another inch to eliminate the gap as much as possible...

Check out 1badgmc's thread. I believe it was there that he elaborated about the 800 bumper on his blue truck. As it was sectioned in several places as was the lower plastic section. That truck was done really well.

looks good, that's a swap I've been contemplating on doing also.

I agree. He pulled that one off really well. I was building my old eclb at the same time as he built his back 15 years ago. Here's my old truck.

yeah, this is what I wanted to do, but couldn't find an 800 ranch hand to fit. now I've got a complete escalade clip sitting at the house.

Been done a few times before. I just don't like how much they stick out on the side. Sectioned that would look great.
