Very nice, but needs bigger tires.

Black Tahoes are THE SUV. I don't care H2, Grand Cherokee Explorer w.e; the Tahoe is THE SUV. My freind has a loaded 05 and he has a blue light for the department; its so cool pulling up in it with the light flashing blasting missy eliot.

Nice ride. Very definitely a nice ride.

Based on your license plates it looks like you live in »»¿Ä****ûþÕĉğ▼.
Not a bad place to be, especially for folks in the witness protection program.
Your real name isn't Vinny is it?

I absolutely agree, black was definitely the best color for the 400s. It really shows off the standard chrome trim. I really miss that on the 800s and it doesn't look like it will ever come back for the 900s. I still get compliments about how great my Tahoe looks, some people actually ask if it's new...lol.

I agree. Unforunately my mom uses it during the week, so I have very little power when it comes to decisions regarding the wheels. But when I get my hands on it I plan on putting 19" Black Rims with chrome trim.

Very nice! Are you going to get a 900 when they come out? I love our Tahoe, they are so cool looking in dark colors, every model year is.

Nice, but lose the poser brushguards/tailight grills.

Whats wrong with those brushguards. Unlike most people, I have taken my Tahoe offroading, and they are a must, not to mension they look great. Anyway, they are legit brushguards, the front one is welded to the chassis, not one of those "bumper brushguards".

As nice as they are, I severly doubt it. I believe my mom is going to get a Saab 9-3 or Pontiac G6.

Awesome truck, TaHoE. If you wore a black suit with sun glasses and someone saw you, they'd think you worked for the Secret Service. It looks to be in mint condition and the first picture you took/posted makes it look larger than life.

Oh, then definately keep them on. I apologize; I'm used to seeing tons of Grand Cherokees and Explorers decked out with chrome guards to fend off the wilds of the suburban jungle. In fact, yours is the only SUV that has brush guards that I know has gone off roading.

Apology accepted, and I know exactly what you mean. Trust me those Brush guards have come in pretty handy when your'e going through some thick mud and end up side ways into a bush. Overall though the Tahoe performs extremely well off-road. The next time I take it I'll take pics.
