That Tahoe is bada$$! Love the solid axle, good write up, too.

 

thanks for the nice words george!


some how me and hammer are related and we found each other here....in the chevyforum....red...small world

 

looks sick man i would love to sas my tahoe one day how much lift did you get out of soing it? mine is sitting here waiting for you to do it!!!

 

I set it up for 6"s of lift to match what I had on it already, yesterday was the 1st true test of it at the mud bog races. I was really nervous because the pit was really nasty and a lot of good trucks were braking axles, but she held together fine after 3 runs.

 

well george how do you like your new setup?any mods needed after the runs?

i just went back and peeked @ your updated album and noticed the new axle is driver drop?.....


ahhh now i think i remember,the ifs has a driver drop so that worked out for ya..i was thinking that the axle would not work because your case was a pass drop....duh......yea george im in here talking to myself and answering my own questions.....im loosing it fast.....

I wish the 241 did have the passenger side shaft so I could have used a Chevy/Dana up front but the jeep version with the same bolt pattern worked out well for me and had the drivers side set up. My only problem now is I need a little more power out of her. Running the 35 x 16 x 16 boggers robs a lot of hp when it gets really thick and it's hard to maintain 2nd gear without dropping the r's.
I'm thinking of a post of my engine build with a request for suggestions on how to get a little more out of it and still stay with the factory computer controlled ignition and fuel injection. I'm thinking maybe different heads with a smaller combustion chamber to increase compression, if I can do that with my ignition, and a little more cam.

Oh yeah, I did get a 2nd place finish in 1 of my classes.

 

Here i thought i had it figured out and attributed it to the high altitude but i can see thats not the case damn~ you blew that one out the door red and now i need another excuse for my confusion ! maybe i will do less thinking and saying and more doing , sounds like a safe retreat to me! at least till somebody catches on ! Just point me in the direction you need me to go and i will get there hell or high water and i will let you know when i do ! stuff must be catching or something !!

 

it's all good chuck.....it's a little confusing when all of us own chevy's and we all tear into them for that perfect setup.......when i was there the air did make me a little funny......or was it what was in the air.......

i just wish i was closer to george so we could use his shop and put all our parts together and build one bad a$$ rig.....i can see it now

so it looks as if the nominating has closed for rig of the month and the voting should start....go get em boys...good luck to all....red

 

I love to use my shop and spend other peoples money at the same time, I wish I did live closer to some of the guys that like to build up some real 4x4 rigs, I know I could use the help from time to time.
This Friday night I get to start installing the rough country lift I took off of my Tahoe on a friend of my sons truck, I only charged him $300. for the lift and the shop and my labor are free. He also gets new front calibers I had just installed as well as the factory skid plate that he doesn't have. Not too bad IMO.

 

george that is an excellent price for that ifs lift,and to top it off the use and labor for free ....wow .....friends like you george are hard to come by......red




i sure wish i were in your area george so we could hook up and put our minds together and build a bad a$$ bogger......or just to hang out
