Nice Yukon. Sorta reminds me of my Tahoe, except in a satin version. I've been wondering about those taillight covers as well. I used to have a set on my '93 fullsize. I like my tinted tails but have been trying to think of alternatives in case I ever run into an issue with the PoPo.

No kidding?! They look just like the French cut taillight covers I used to have. Must have used something similar for a template. Thanks for the info.

I've been crossing my fingers for a couple weeks hoping that I'd be able to post a new ride in this thread. Yesterday the deal finally happened. Here's my new bagged 99 Tahoe:

Congrats! Looks like a really clean ride. Welcome to the 2-door Hoe club.

[Palf70Step]

Very Nice!

[killthewabbit]

Thanks fellas. I've been wanting one of these for ages.

Woah! Nice! I drove up to GA to trade an 86 C10 I have for this exact truck, but the deal didn't happen once I got there. Sweet 2 door tahoe man.

Already got pulled over in it, hahaha. Apparently the window tint is too dark.

LOL! I had to scrape mine off, way too dark, drove with the windows partially open at night. LOL

That sucks! Guess that doesn't bode well for me. My wife and I are trying to get relocated closer to our families. One of the states we've been looking at is TN, around the Nashville area. I've never had any issues around here with the window tint (or tinted tails), knock on wood! Since I bought it like this, I've just been rolling with it.

Did they give you a ticket or warning?

[killthewabbit]

My c10 was tinted fairly dark also. Never had any issues before yesterday. Police lady rode behind me for a bit before lighting me up. Pretty sure she checked my plate and was wondering why my license plate said I was a black 85 c10 not a red 99 Tahoe. I explained I had just bought it, and got off with a warning.

I have always ran 5% limo tint on every vehicle I've had in AZ for the last 20 years , but the last two years the cops got a new toy ( a light meter ) and they use it. Every tint shop will do dark windows if you want but you get no receipt ...

Sucks now I have to run legal tint . I'm actually thinking of having my dr write me a script for tinted windows since I'm a red head with a light complexion and burn easily lol

[1badgmc]

I ran illegal tint on everything I owned for the better part of a decade. I paid dearly for it with several tickets paid and several re-tint jobs so I could get dismissals. After the last ticket I got about 8 years ago was $185, I gave up. The last I heard from that same local precinct was that a tint ticket was $235 and that was still several years ago. I just can't afford the risk. My '91 is still tinted illegal, but it doesn't come out much. All my drivers are dark, but legal.

[killthewabbit]

If it gets to the point that I'm a cop magnet because of the tint, it will go back to legal.

I drove mine with 20% for years, and Metro only cited me for it once. Even then, he actually pulled me over for something like 46 in a 40, let me off for the speeding, and wrote a fix-it for the tint. Brentwood has pulled me over for it twice (both times the same officer, and both times as I was pulling into my workplace, lol) but I got warnings both times.

After the old 20% started turning purple, I replaced it with 35% so I wouldn't have to worry about it. But it never caused me too much trouble. Chances are, if it wasn't for the non-matching plate, they'd have left you alone.

Here is a pic of both of my projects/money pits: my 98 and my 70. My Tahoe has 205k, Hotchkis coils, Belltech drop leaf springs (which ride horrible), and 18" Boss 338s. Im currently putting together plans for an LS swap.

[killthewabbit]

Nice Tahoe.

I keep reading those drop leafs ride pretty bad.

[Cashed]

Thanks. I don't like them. Ive tried 3 different sets of rear shocks and it is real bouncy with all. Once I get my 70 a little further along and get the LS swap done in the Tahoe, Im going to just flip-kit the rear and redo the front so it's a little lower. Thankfully, I kept my stock leaf springs.

Looks like a pretty clean ride, especially for the mileage! Sucks to hear about the leafs though.

Just curious, have you tried the Belltech Street Performance shocks?

[Cashed]

I actually have Belltech performance shocks on it now. I went from Monroe, to Duestchtech or whatever, to Belltech. The Belltechs are the least bouncy, but they are still super bouncy.

The Tahoe was mom's up until 5 years ago. She kept real good care of it. It wasn't a garage queen, just well cared for.

Cool. Yeah I had Doetsch Tech on my old '93 C-1500. The fronts rode great, but the rears were a little soft. I have the Belltech Street Performance on my Tahoe now, & I had them on my old S-10. If they're still bouncy, I guess it's definitely gonna need a suspension change. They ride pretty nice with my flip kit, but I also have helper bags as well.

Definitely looks like it was well cared for. It can be hard to find older vehicles that were given that kind of attention. I've been lucky to find some of the ones I have over the years.
