Tahoe HD

[Domin8]

As many of you know I traded my LSJ Cobalt for a 2007 Tahoe LT. The problem I have with it is everybody has one of these, and I think the look is wimpy. I have contemplated doing many things to it, but every time I try to get started I run into problems such as discontinued parts. Ironic since they are all OE parts and they have only been out 4-5 years. But, last night I came across a pic I really liked in another forum. Turns out every part is OE, and not discontinued. Additionally, people who are doing this conversion say that about 85% of the parts are bolt on and very little fabrication is needed for the parts that don't (hood latch and bumper mounts), thus making this a driveway job, for the most part. I just wanted to know what everybody else thought. Should I pull the trigger and do this, or should I pass it by and look for something else?

The current production Chevy Tahoe:


Tahoe with 2500 Silverado HD front end:


The only concern I have with this look is that the back doesn't match the front.

I wonder if it's your firewall? I found another link for the same pic. I hope you can see this one.

Rossshady120, if you're so bent on talking about your friends wheels please take it to gmfs.com. This is a thread asking people's opinions about a Silverado 2500HD front end on a Chevy Tahoe. I don't care about wheels.

[Domin8]

That doesn't make it look tough... makes it look dumb.

Is that directed to me? If so, could you please elaborate? The purpose of this thread is to gather opinions, thoughts, and insight.

Thanks John. I'm actually moving to the Chicago area in June (wife has orders in hand), so I look forward to working with him/them. If I do this conversion, I won't start until I move up there.
