Hey everybody,

Been looking around here for awhile now. Traded in a 98 Jeep for this 02 Tahoe. Needed a little more room and something better to tow my bikes with. Plus everything else about the Hoe is better. You guys/girls have a great site here.

I removed the ugly Z71 luggage rack and have the LT rack on the way. Also removed the nerf bars, not sure if I will put them back or what I want to do. Installed the K&N FIPK. Next I am going to have the front windows tinted.

Stock picture was taken yesterday.

Today did the DJM 3" drop. And 20" Escalade wheels. I love it. Ride is not any worse than it was stock, but handles so much better. Going to have it aligned Monday at work. (I work at a goodyear) Part time, I go to school full time for Web design.

Welcome from the bay area. Hoe looks good. Did you go 3" in the rear? cant really tell from the pic. I'd do something with the running boards. Maybe the denali running boards. There painted to match.

Welcome to the site. Your truck looks good with the wheels and more aggressive stance.

Yea man, welcome to the site. That's a nice Hoe you got there. What are your plans for the Z71 roof rack? Where are you located?

How did you plug the holes on the roof rack, I've been wanting to ditch the rack for quite awhile. Can't find a solution with clean plus or caps

I took my roof rack off also.

I just used the same bolts and put a rubber washer around them. I also painted the top of each bolt with automotive paint to help smooth the look.
