daddy's new Tahoe

[ScottyBoy]

I keep seeing that new sig pic and I have a question for you, Tobias.. Are you keeping the luggage rack?

Whats wrong with it>?

To me, if you're not going to use it, get rid of it and clean-up the lines of the vehicle. I've always thought roof racks were ugly.. I've seen Sierras with roof racks and I just shake my head in a mixture of disbelief and disgust... "Put it in the bed, not on the ROOF!"

I've actually used the roof rack on my Suburban a good bit. Being that I don't have a bed (like a truck), I've tied long objects to the roof such as ladders, pvc pipe , lumber, etc. I've even strapped 3 sheets of 4x8 plywood up there with no problem.

Please re-read the first part of what I said, above...

So Daddy, any ideas on wheels yet?

Only general guidelines. I am thinking of something a bit more full-faced with less of a lip than I had on the Sierra. I have always liked a nice full-faced 20-inch wheel. I don't mean just a solid plate of chrome, just not a huge, deep lip is all. I love the clean looks of the GMT800 Denali wheels. That's the sort of style is what I am going for this time.

Offset is king on GMT800s. A deep lip can stick a wheel WAY out beyond the fender.

These (with a lip) look excellent on white GMT800s.

Nice Tahoe...it seems like you bought it right too. Where did you find it at?

Thanks!

I found it at a dealer but one of my best friends is good friends with the dealer's finance guy. It was listed at $11,999 but I got it for $9500 without even the first bit of haggling. I was okay with the price.

It's still a 2001 but aside from the Zack Morris OnStar antenna, you'd never know. It's very clean. No dings, dents, major paint problems, etc.

what about a bone yard for a newer window?

Maybe. That'll probably be one of the last thing I mess with. It's annoying but I can deal with it until I am done spending money everywhere else.
