Phew this was a long one... Kept a lot of the install details in there, so let me know what everyone thinks. I would also love to hear your opinions on Tahiti's new look, and what additional mods you may want to see! P.S, I already have plans for power mods... #10secondtahiti
LsxMatt Have you thought about doing a undercoat spray for protection and what about Flowmaster’s dual exhaust that would be cool
Silverado 2500 hood?
Mirror turn signals
LsxMatt those badges are for the new tahoe Z71’s I’m looking to order some myself cause the original Z is red instead of black
Brian C it already has those👍
Not gonna lie I got emotionally attached to my Tahoe with 250,000 miles and fully restored it using OEM parts. It looks and runs like brand new. Probably a big waste of money but I’m still very happy with it 👍
I regret selling my 2004 tahoe to buy a 2015 WK2. First vehicle i ever worked on by myself and fixed by myself. I miss it, especially after seeing the new owner abuse it and hydrolock the engine by driving through flood waters with a cold air intake
Wait for gas to go back to 5.50 gal
Willing to bet it will last you another 20 years with minimal maintenance
Haha you're not alone, I'm still emotionally attached to our 2001 excursion. I still baby it and buy new things to pretty it up. It's been so good to us I can never let it go. So no way is any of this a waste of money; these vehicles totally deserve it!
The best part about it all is probably that you don't have a car payment!
Wow imagine being able to change a headlight without having to take ur bumper off. must be nice
It makes life so much simpler I swear
ahaha yessir welcome to VW mk4 life
Imagine being able to change ur headlights without taking off your radiator
FELT DAT SHIT
@@gdowdy rip
It's amazing what a few simple changes will do to a vehicle. The Tahoe looks really good and up to date.
Once you install the leveling kit the stance is gonna be badass
Love someone that has the dedication to make an older car look up to date with modern updates. Some people think an old car has no potential or don’t know things are updateable. Well done looks so much more modern! My best friend has this suv in burgundy. He did the tail lights and front turn signal led
please when you add a leveling kit make a video...good job on your Tahoe
Flip your tail/brake light from the top to the middle and put your blinkers on the top
i was saying the same in my head. 🤣
I love how you updated this rig. I've always loved the Tahoe and suburban. And you have "modified" this exactly how I would have done. This is the definition of "tasteful mods". When it comes to upgrading a vehicle on a budget one of best was to do it is with factory parts. They're far superior than anything on eBay coming from china, I have upgraded a few vehicles by simply using factory parts from other makes models or newer or upgraded factory parts. Once I saw the reveal the first thing I said was "leveling kit would really set this off" and bam! You mention it...so I hope you have done it
Whoa... Look at you using the paid content notice, being 100% honest about things. How dare you be an example for CZcamsrs to follow?!
Fr honest is just refreshing on youtube
my god! she's beautiful! not tacky at all!
this SUV turned out perfect!
the custom job was a must have!
if you can clean out the interior one last time and put the 3rd row seats back in, then she'd be all set!
good work bro!
angusyjr NO LIGHTWEIGHT BABY
It’s a fucking CAR. It’s not a PERSON
Just picked up an 04 and you pretty much did exactly everything I had planned to do to mine. Thanks for making this video!
The taillights actually look pretty decent, but I'm yet to see a set of aftermarket headlights that don't look ridiculous. The badges look great! I wish I would have done that on my old tahoe, which was pretty much identical to yours.
"It's not that I don't like the way it looks, it's that I dont like the way it looks" 😂🤣
@Shadow why you gotta hate? This guy too the time to teach you something and that’s what you come up with? You should make this a better world not make it worse, don’t understand your logic
@@Impala1963 I guess you didn't notice the quotation marks. Shadow is quoting what LsxMatt said in the video
@@Impala1963 You are so stupid kid.
All classy and clever upgrades. The wheels though are the real upgrade as it totally changed the look with that little tire bulge coming from each wheel well. Great job!!
I think it's perfect!!! I had the suburban version and out of all my trucks that I have had that is the one I missed the most! I put a three inch body lift so I could keep the ride the same and it got compliments everywhere I went! I love these trucks they are bulletproof!
I I just got a 2005 Tahoe to use as a winter beater. But my curiosity got the best of me and started watching videos about it. It is videos like this that are giving me encouragement to make mine nicer. Thank-you. And your Tahoe is looking good
Man you do a nice job, detailed, informative, and enjoyable. I liked the add for your promo as well. Glad to see you getting some extra support, Thanks.
Except 1) Googone should not be used on painted surfaces. Alcohol is safe and usually works too. 2) Multi-letter disconnected badges like that almost always come with a clear sticky sheet over the letters, that's not just to protect it during shipment, its also for application. You are NOT supposed to eyeball the placement, but use that with a piece of blue tape above that sticky clear sheet to line everything up like a hinge, then remove the adhesive facing the paint, and press in place. If for some reason its lacking it, which I've never seen, you can place tape over the lettering so they all stay in position and do the same. The lettering adhesive will be stronger than the tape, so once pressed on you can easily remove the tape.
Older cars don't suck... you just need to take good care of them like this one
I did most of what you did to my Z71 burban! I recommend painting the bottom plastic that's grayish along with the side steps etc black. It makes it look cleaner and sharper imo. Matches the window tint etc better. Love the truck!!
Just bought a 03 tahoe for family/tow vehicle. You have some great content and tips. Good job man 👍
The Tahoe Looks Great!! Several small changes make a big difference overall!! The way it looks does not reflect the mileage you've taken very good care of the Tahoe.
@lsxMatt hit that hitch with some black paint to get ri of that surface rust... Really makes a difference. Also love the tahoe! You got yourself a new subscriber😎😎
I’ve been glued to your vids bro. I love them. I just recently bought myself an 05 tahoe and want to change everything you changed as well as the bumpers.
I loved my headlights on my 2000 Silverado. Those pins made things super easy. My 2013 required moving the grille and everything just to change a bulb, let alone replacing the entire light.
Awesome videos, I just bought a 2001 Tahoe, and I have learned a lot about it from your videos. Keep it up!
Dude that editing transition 16:37 was done so perfect and in sync I damn near thought it was magic where he got that other bulb from mid air shit! 😂😂
Yeah wtf 😂
I love what you've done! Great choice on the badges and lights and really like that you didn't go aftermarket wheels!
Very nice refresh. I'm happy YT recommended for me, giving me plenty of great ideas for my own cars.
Keep the eye brow just paint it ! It will stay looking good for a good while and it goes with the ones on the windows! Love the new look!🔥💯
When ur done trimming the wheel wells try using Adams undercarriage spray to make them look better. Also everything came out great! Never had a Tahoe but I remember when I was 17 my uncle who used to live with us came home in a new Tahoe and he was so proud of it and well after watching this series I can see why. They are great vehicles and my uncle still has his and drives the same as new and I’m 26 now soooo yeah they are built to last. Also idk about the led bulb as a headlight I still think it will scatter but you should at least try a high quality brighter halogen bulb (:
I have a White 2006 Z71 Tahoe and they are amazing! Mine is bone stock and it has 113k miles with every option imaginable! I cannot be happier with it. Love the headlight upgrade you did! The taillights remind me of the Escalade of this generation.
Nice job! I gotta do my Silverado's tail lights next! That's what I've been blogging about lately, I used to be so heavy into car customization and recently getting back into it. I'm glad the hobby never died.
This is nice! I like the factory look your going for! Good job!
Perfect man!!! Simplicity is key you did that man!
Saturday morning coffee entertainment. Everything is an improvement. Truck looks great. A modern take on a classic tahoe. It all looks factory, tight and right. Enjoyed the whole thing.
Came across your videos by coincidence on youtube. I have a 2004 Tahoe myself.
The way you are filming and explaining how to diy is great! :-) I have no skills about how to fix my car and modifying it. You have done great job with your Tahoe and your choice of mods. It looks fantastic and is not tacky. You are inspireing and I hope you continue with new videos of your Tahoe.
After watching just a couple of your videos, I have already started modifying and looking for parts for my car. It takes a bit longer time to find the parts I want here in Norway. Much smaller marked here for Tahoe. But I am not giving up. :-)
I really like your style of mods, you got a new follower. :-)
I love what you’re doing to the Tahoe I think it would be better to use the LED turn signals bulbs
The space between the hood and the grille you could paint the body color grille tabs trim black so then it just disappears
Hope you understand what
I really appreciate your attention to detail with this stuff this is my first video I've seen from you I'm deffinately going to subscribe👍🏻
Oh my god. This Tahoe is well taken care of. I have watched all your videos just now and I was wanting to give up on my Tahoe same color just not z71 but man it looks really really beautiful . Keep it up much love.
That thing looks "SICK' way to go! ...totally transformed it looks just as good or better than a new one!!!
LsxMatt >>> I like what you're doing overall to your vehicle, it's starting to look quite good. I hope that your replacement lights do not start developing condensation, the front ones are especially prone to this. Also, be careful with tire rub: it's kinda like the saying about roaches, if you see (1) one roach, there's bound to be a (100) a hundred more; with rubbing what you've noticed will be the minimal amount until you're on some really rough roads, or your vehicle is really laden (weighed down), that's when you'll see the "real" total amount of rubbing. If I were in your place I'd just use the tires until time came to replace them, then I'd go back to the original specs (or at least something a smidge smaller). Great video, thank you for the share! ;-)
PS ... when you were showing the rear fender well about the tire rubbing I noticed that your rear shock looked quite busted and rusted. Maybe you're do for a new pair of rear shocks, and if you're considering a front "level kit" maybe just forgo that for replacing the springs with the shocks; the springs may just be sagging because they're old. This way you get a better ride and look instead of a nice looking ride that doesn't ride right; now say that 10x quick! ;-)
Miss my Tahoe, yours looks awesome, before and after you can definitely see the difference. good job!
Looks awesome man, excellent choicess all around on your upgrades. I have an '05 Z-71 in Bermuda blue i've taken very good care of...you've just inspired me to give it a similiar makeover to make it more appealing to my 13 year old son who will be driving before you know it. These old Tahoes really do age well with minor modifications and a little TLC!
"Urrrm....so hot!!" I must admit I laughed at that. Well done sir! You've brought Tahiti into the 21st Century!
These videos make me want a Tahoe
Lmao I understand that. Watching Ronald Finger’s videos make me want a Fiero😂
the simple days
Best Tahoe model besides the new one with the super long taillights going to the roof.
HateMeNow 1806 those are Escalades. The Tahoe and the Yukon’s have regular rear lights.
got me a 2007 here. Stock but runs great
This video really helped me because I was planning on changing the emblems/badges, and the head & tail lights on my 2006 Suburban. Been searching for a video to help me install the lights step by step.
@LsxMatt looks great. I'm proud of you my son. I got an 03 runs like a champ just did an oil change on it electric fan, transmission fluid flush out plus filter, and new front rods
Currently updating my 2001 Yukon XL got brand new 2019 Silverado 18's with brand new tires for cheap
Do a video for the chrome on the rear bumper. I have a suburban with chrome front and back. The back looks great but the front keeps surface rusting. I use a chrome polish and protector that made it a lot better. But it keeps rusting. Nice video btw 👍
Good to see others out there doing this sort of refreshing upgrade. I have a 2006 Silverado Crew Cab 4 x 4. I'm doing exactly what you're doing. All chrome is going bye bye and I'm replacing it with blacked out versions. Smoked headlights, turn signals and fog lights. The silver and gold "LT" badges will be replaced with solid black. The silver "Chevrolet" badge will be replaced with a solid black one and the silver and gold "4 x 4" sticker will be replaced with a solid black version. I'm also going to powder coat the rims and get away from the chrome on those as well.
The Tahoe looks amazing. I'm glad I ran across your video today.
Steve D.
Watched this maybe 5 times...love the tahoe videos. I used them as a template for my escalade. You rock man👍
Really nice job 👌. It makes it look like a new vehicle. Keep it up!
Looking awesome correct mods. Definitely put new bonnet deflector on looks the part plus serves a purpose on the slab front truck 😎👌👍
Nice job! It’s the little details that really make a difference! Look’s Great 👍🏻
I learned so much from this!! The in-depth explanations are great!!!
Man this truck looks amazing great job man🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
“Truck”
man,at first i was on the fence about this video and then i saw the end result,that car almost looks as fancy as an escalade
Great job coordinating style and color; installation was on point. I love the final look!
I love the little crowd applause sound after you attached the Chevrolet badge! Classic! Great job
Personally I would take that faded grey trim off the sides along with the steps. Also level it in the front and I think it would look perfect. Just a personal opinion
Noah Rush just take a torch to it and bring the new look back into it.
Looks good, better than it did. You made good choices on parts and sold the shit out of that speaker.
Looks good. I painted my tow hooks red. Really pops ! Repainted my grill emblem gold and several coats of clear. Painted all other bow tie emblems red. Installed Escalade rims.
It's always amazing what new plastic light/lens do to a vehicle, like new, looks great and thanks for the ebay links.
Lights are done, now is time to mulch your yard!
Cleaner without the wind visor on front. Great vid! The light upgrade made all the difference
Great job man. Looks great! Really updated the whole vehicle!
Those Grapplers are usually really great tires. Mine never made much noise or had issues with cupping, unlike some other brands. And if you're going to level it drop the back end instead. There are kits out there that won't sacrifice the weight capability.
That truck looks great refreshed like that!
99-02 hd grill and bumper cap next
It would look so good on there
HD bumpers conversions make a helluva difference
I got a 2002 tahoe z71 with hd front end
@@juliorubalcava95 this information is most pleasing wise decision young grasshopper
@@L92_Joe idk mine came out clean
Sir, I am in love with your truck. It looks perfect, the wheels look so clean. the badges are perfect, lights are sweet. Honestly I personally don't like when people modify their cars cause most of the time they look hideous or super flashy, but yours is another level, everything looks like it's stock but new. I swear I even like it more than the new Tahoes haha, congrats man!
“Truck”
I call it updating and upgrading. You'd be surprised how you can fall in love with your vehicle all over again if you tastefully mod it a bit. I'm doing exactly what you did to your rig with my '03 Black Durango. When I'm done it's gonna look bad ass. Rig looks great bro. Good job!
Great vid as always! You know, it's kinda funny how you removed your bug deflector in this video, yet I just ordered one current day for my 2005 trailblazer lol.
You got nittos tires , your going to have no problems with them bad boys , one of the most best off roading tires to have
That looks damn good! That's one Chevy I would rock for sure!
Nice work bro and great job on your mods on the Tahoe, up next exhaust, cold air intake, and after market grille! 👌🏿
Looks great! I think if you leveled it, removed side steps, all gray plastic and replaced with new black plastic such as rear bumper plastic and front lower valence it would be just right!
Maybe switch around the sides where it says Chevrolet & Z71?
I'm your friend from saudi arabia from Middle East very good job i love you work on your tahoe i'll do some works on my avalanche 2013 😎👌🏼thanks go-ahead
Have the same Tahoe , same color. also it's amazing how well the paint stayed. I had mine ceramic coated looks like new. may want to put the bug deflector back on.
This is exactly what I would do. Would have went for black wheels to wrap up the look but it's so tastefully done. Love it.
The only thing garbage about this truck is the license plate lol
This is fucking sick. Looks awesome dude. Makes me want a tahoe.
Really impressive transformation, Tahoe looks fantastic, and what an incredible bang for the buck you got there. The wheels are a huge improvement and the tires look awesome. One big downside is those tires are HEAVY. So many people (especially truck guys) have no idea just how much all that rotational mass kills the performance of the vehicle. If you just slowly cruise around and prioritize looks over performance than it doesn't matter. And there is nothing wrong with that, especially if you already have a fast car, which you do. Me personally, I couldn't bring myself to do it. Even with an H/C/I Z06 in the garage, I love the fact my F150 can run low 13's, and handles surprisingly well for a big truck. Wish I could have both the badass beefy truck look and the performance but often doesn't work that way. Tried to strike a nice balance. Either way, awesome job on the Tahoe, and props to you for all the work you do yourself.
Great video. I am not a huge fan of the same color stop and blinker lights. I personally always like it when the blinkers are yellow and the brakes are red. That way if someone is stepping on and releasing the brake pedal you don't have have to guess if that is a blinker or not. Super small gripe on my part. If you like them (and you appear to) then it's friggen awesome!
so true. cars made for the european market always have separate, orange blinkers, never combined with brakelights. it's so annoying and dangerous when the brakelights are combined with the indicators.
Looks amazing!
Couple questions:
•Are you going to “restore” the plastic? (Bumpers, side, roof rack, etc ?)
•Are you going to swap the plate lights with LED?
Should definitely restore or paint them black.
@@kermaniriarte7541 oh please don't, no black
They’re grey not black
Keep an eye on those LEDs that you used for the marker lights up front... I installed identical looking ones for my license plate lights last spring and they were fine until the weather turned cold again... Then they shorted out and it looked like a rave was going on over my license plate. 😂
She looks amazing!!! You picked the right things to give a different look.
Bro!!! This thing is absolutely beautiful and you make me proud to want one and it look just like yours. Great job brother.
If this was my vehicle, I would install a CB radio. Those things are fun.
Crank up the torsion keys to level it it looks badass
It'll be like driving a brick down the highway, but are you lifted? Yes.
I was looking for an older sliverado and found you. Now I'm looking for an 06 tahoe. Will work better for my family and save me money upfront. Love the videos thank you
Used to work in advance auto and gm trucks were the easiest bulbs to change out. All of them. It was a pain changing out all these other cars bulbs. Some are literally impossible. Those few changes make the truck look way better. Nice job bro. Did almost the same on my 04 Silverado reg cab and made a huge difference.
The truck looks great but that Tahoe clearly did not spend much of its life in New York.
Being from Buffalo, I completely vouch for that.
Cleto also from Buffalo I can also vouch for that
@@prestondoring2640 why is that? It would have rust everywhere or something?
6ix set Because the entire bottom of this truck, including around the wheel wells would be a complete pile of rust if it had spent a decent amount of time in New York.
All the salt
My turn signal looks like a fish tank
rip
Good job keeping your blinker fluid topped off👍
Highly recommend upgrading the wiring harness for the low beams to the Standard products wiring harness upgrade with bigger gauge wiring because they are notorious for overheating and melting the sockets. Happens to rear turn signals too. Sylvania makes good running light led replacements also. I've changed those and the reverse lights in the rear and it made a huge difference.
I haven't seen an early 00's Tahoe in such good shape in years! And it is looking great!
I remember back in the day when ebay used to be a joke filled with cheap knock off products.. but now they have so many official sellers and real oem products ..Ebay has become ❤ Life!!
The badass soccer dad that ends up treatin the kids soccer game like fifa mobile Not hating just a thought that popped in my head 😂😂😂
Looks fantastic!!! Just picked up a 2005 suburban from Texas in the same color, so this video is spot on to see what some of these upgrades would look like on mine. Great job sir.....
Thank you! I have this whole video as a pending project. Now I can do it with confidence! 🎉
