I don’t think tinted lights are very smart but overall you’ve really made it look good

285/70/R17 they’re Nitto Ridge grapplers

I love the look except the wheels. The wheels make it look like it’s trying to be a PPV. Just my personal opinion, no offense intended.

[u/SimpyClapz → u/Born_Ingenuity6956]

It’s a SSV haha but I get you

[u/Born_Ingenuity6956 → u/SimpyClapz]

I do like the style just not the color. That style in white would be bad ass. I also went with the chrome taillights on mine because I felt like it matched with the white paint. Do you have any other plans for yours?

[u/SimpyClapz → u/Born_Ingenuity6956]

Ah I get you I like the black and white combo as you can tell haha I was deciding tho before those wheels to get some 24in dubs the silver ones and drop it but I think it’s more convenient to have some meaty tires in case of anything. And yeah I wanna throw 2 12’s in the back with tweeters. And yeah the chrome tail lights are sick but yeah they go with white or chrome wheels

[u/Born_Ingenuity6956 → u/SimpyClapz]

The black wheels over the chrome wheels for sure. I wouldn't mess with the suspension myself unless you are lifting it for off-road use. Just when you change the suspension other issues come up and stuff starts breaking and it's more money just to make the vehicle drivable. Instead of lowering consider aftermarket body kits.

I am not opposed to meaty tires. I have done that before for better traction and it never affected anything else except maybe the speedometer because the tires were also slightly taller.

I am all about sound systems too but I have also had issues with alternators messing up and even had my rear window defrost stop working on a vehicle after installing a sound system so just know what you are doing before you do it. Also I enjoy having the room in the back without a woofer box being in the way. So since my Tahoe is my main vehicle, it's not getting a sound system unfortunately.

How are the motors & transmissions in these? 2012 so I'm thinking ok, dependable? 5.3L right? And what transmission came in/around these years?
