Default '05 Z71 Tahoe

Well, it is official. The black '99 4Runner has been retired. And in its place has come the black '05 Z71 Tahoe . It has all the bells and whistles...navigation, DVD, sunroof, dual climate, 2nd row buckets, 3rd row seating, etc., etc. It has been an extreme pleasure so far.

It's been a very hectic week, and my girlfriend left for Dallas for two weeks in it today, so I did a quick clean-up on it before she left.

As of now, the only mod is tint.

Process:

Simple Green 8:1 on wheels/tires/wells/trim
NXT wash
AIO by hand on front end
Pinnacle Souveran
Zaino Z16 on tires

Before tint and clean-up



After tint and clean-up (150 mile road trip before these pictures were taken)

It's fairly tight, but it does go into the one-car garage.

Nice ride I had to get the Burb instead of the Tahoe due to kids and towing. Your gonna love it. By the way which gears did it come with?? With 4.10's were getting just over 15mpg on the highway now.

It came with the 3:42 gears by our choice. It'll be doing a lot more traveling and hualing than towing...getting around 15 mpg with combined city/highway driving.
