$2900 BEATER TO BEAST! Lifted Tahoe evolution & timeline 

6.0 or even better 8.1 swap or 502 swap if you have the money. Building an 8.1 for my 1500 to swap in now

I like how he points out the flaws and items that he's not happy with. That's honest and real. Thanx man.

The Tahoe makes me want a Monster Energy drink lol

Doing a build like this is 1000 times more satisfying than buying a brand new vehicle and modding it out. Taking an old plain vehicle and updating to the new times is always a head turner. I have a 2006 GMC Sierra 1500 2WD (My only vehicle ever) that i've been improving little by little. It's so satisfying, especially if you do some of the work yourself. Great video and awesome Tahoe!

Tahoe's are a legend hands down they have out survived bankruptcy, being scrapped, they can get you 200,000 miles without any issues, it's the most underrated SUV

“With the amount of money you could’ve bought a...” stfu this is his built . He can do whatever he wants

This video needs to be seen by more tahoe owners.

Man your Tahoe is freaking sick. Love how you're an everyday type of guy that wanted to make your ride look and ride better.

That is sick. Looks better than the current ones. I never see any new cars that I like, or that aren't that expensive. This is a way to rethink what I'm going to get and just build into what I want over time. Even before you were completely done I would've been happy with just a few of those changes. Thanks for sharing.

A Tahoe that actually looks dope haha

I love the look, I probably would have kept the 4.5 inch lift myself but it does stand a lot more aggressively higher.

Sir thank you. I have an 04 Yukon stock that i've had since 08 & was looking to buy a new SUV. After watching this I was like damn my Yukon could look like that with a little work and would cost me a lot less than a new $60 grand truck.

I have a 2001 Tahoe that my brother gave me, it had been in a wreck, and he was sick of looking at it. Over the course of 2 years, I’ve brought it back from the dead and I’ve modeled it to look similar to yours, if it wasn’t for this video, I probably wouldn’t have a fire lit under my ass to get it fixed and modded, so for that I thank you.

I don't own a Tahoe but seeing the vision you have may sway my decision. Love the look. Cant wait to see what direction you go with the motor!

Nice work Jon! I love the time and vision you put into your Tahoe and did some similar work to mine over the past 10 months. Got a 2004 LT AWD 4x4 with 205,000 miles for $3500. Right away I started getting engine faults and spent about $4K trying to fix them. Eventually I gave up and since the truck was running like poo, took it in to see what could be done. Got the news I needed a new engine, and my wife and I decided that since we were in for a dime...we were in for a dollar. Just got her buttoned up for the year. Really in love with the truck now and happy we got it all done. Runs like a champ! Here's the list so far on the "Mountain Hoe": 6.0 Swap by Colorado Engine * MagnaFlow 3” CatBack Exhaust by Colorado Engine * BDS 4.5 Lift with Fox 2.0 & Dual Stabilizers by Colorado OffRoad * KMC Panzers 17x9 wrapped in 33” KO2s * Kenwood DNX996R and Viper Remote Start by PDARoadgear * Yakima HD Bars and Warrior Rack * Viper CCFL/LED Exterior Lighting (all around) * AMP Research PowerSteps * 4.10 G2 gears by High Country 4x4 * Tune by AI-Racing * //

Now this is what a Tahoe should look like. Beautiful!

HOT Ride!!!! My wife has a 02 Suburban that she loves. She told me that she wants to monster it up. Thanks to you, I have a vision!!! LOL!!

Didn’t think it was legal to own something cool in New York

I'm still driving my stock 2001 Tahoe that I bought in late 2000. It's a great vehicle, but I would love to do some mods like the ones you have done, starting with bumpers. The references to where you bought the individual items will be a huge help. Thanks.

I had a ton of cars and I can say my 2001 tahoe has been the best suv I ever owned! 275 thousand miles and runs like a champ

I bought a gmc yukon short bed, and had it painted black, attached 2019 gmc wheels blk, changed the front lights to led, about to do interior black, I love this thing its really nice the way mine turned out, and it all started by watching this video thx

Usually don’t care for Tahoe’s but my hats off to you!! Came out amazing and the 6” lift looks much more proportional with the tow mirrors now

Appreciate this video very much, I don’t own a Tahoe but, I like your style.

This got me so hyped. I have recently purchased a 2002 Tahoe and will be in touch with you. This is amazing and more then 1 of the parts and ideas you used were in my brainstorming for my beast. Amazing to see and hyped to see it put to life.

Thought about selling my Yukon XL. Damn it…. Now you’ve put a goal in place. Beautiful Beast👌🏾

The Tahoe’s come a long way. Looks gorgeous. Hopefully I can start to build my Silverado

My dad has an 03 Tahoe, has problems but they are easy fixes, love drivin it to school

That thing is boss!!! People that have never worked on their own vehicle just don't understand the labor of love that goes into a project like that. Very very cool!!!

I bought a '99 Blazer LT 4x2 as a 'Project Car' and you've inspired me and gave me some ideas on trying to customize my ride! Thanks! And much props to you on your Tahoe! That is one WICKED-ASS RIDE!

Seen this car in person he is not lying it looks really aggressive

This is coming from an 02 suburban owner, your built project just looks real dope with that lifting man. I wish I’ve done the same thing like you did with your Tahoe but it could literally lead to it getting stolen.

Just got my Tahoe today it’s crazy basically have the same start up as you. You did all the research I’ll ever need thank you thumbs up!

Absolutely sick Tahoe man. I bought a 04 Tahoe LT and want to do similar mods on mine bit by bit. You have the best looking Tahoe overall I have ever seen, nice work!

Damn, imagine what he'd do to a Suburban 😁😎 The Tahoe looks sleek, I love the bumpers, and turning the cassette player into a rocker switch holder is perfect!

I appreciate you making this video because I'm about to get my hands on a 2003 Yukon denali XL and fairly decent condition and I have a long way to go to get to look the way I want.

Looks sick. I’ve got an 05 Tahoe I’ve had for 12 years now, been on a 4.5 inch lift for 6 but about to order a 6 it just looks so much better.

Man I’m glad I found your channel. I’m about to purchase my buddys 2000 sub 2500 and as a Ford guy I knew nothing about chevy. But your vision and mine are totally lined up with what I wanted to do. Can’t wait to see your other videos...

I'm a tahoe owner and this looks alot better then mine! I've had visions of mine looking like this but never tried to do it because of financial status

That's really cool. I'm sure it's much better than anything you could've purchased factoring in the cost of the vehicle and the mods

I've seen many a Tahoe gone beast and this is my favorite! Thanks for sharing every step of the way.

I love it! I was contemplating getting rid of my 02 Suburban for a new Chevy with lifts and wheels but I think I'll do this to mine. Thanks for the ideals!

Great video, super well recorded and edited for what people want to see. Sometimes you can't tell what makes a truck or car pop and this walkthrough shows.

Mann love what you did with the Tahoe. Just bought my 2001 Tahoe and I’m thinking MOD MOD MOD. I searched for lifted Tahoe and found the GOAT. I want almost every MoD you have on there.

Wow, I’m so glad I found this channel. I’ve got an 06 Tahoe LT I’ve wanted to modify very similar to this!

I am not a big car buff and never owned a truck but I have to admit this was dope AF

I'm not a car guy. This Tahoe is one of those cars I'd be a lil spooked to see rolling up behind my bike rack while on the freeway, but woah! Quality content. Subscribed.

Sickest Tahoe I've ever seen, hands down. Looks amazing and great video👌🏼

Cause of you I got myself a 2005 Chevy Tahoe and I’m ready to hook it up 🤙🏽

Awesome job, looks rad af. The value of old Tahoe's just went up.

Exhaust definitely, it just makes the back look cleaner having a dual like you said instead of the crap stock exhaust

I have an ‘07 Tahoe and this is almost exactly how I want it. This is awesome

This thing looks beautiful!! 😍 My dad still has his from 2000 when we were kids and he doesn't want to let it go. This makes me want to buy it from him and do exactly what you did to yours.

I have a 2004 Chevy Tahoe and u have given me hope I always wanted this truck. Nice job

I have my amp in the same place. It started to get really hot under the seats in tx summer heat so I made my own hose that I attached to the floor a/c vents and pointed it right on my amp. Took about a day to make everything and now it runs ice cold.

Great vehicle for projects! Super reliable. I like how it turned out

What an absolute great job! You was my inspiration to build my Yukon up like I'm doing, thanks!👍👍👍

By far one of the absolute best Tahoe,s I've ever seen!!! I want one now !!

Why was this video so satisfying, ty RU-vid for the recommendation lol

Just gave me a bunch of ideas for my tahoe man love how yours looks

Love it just started the same process with a low mile 06 yukon. This video definitely gave me some ideas thanks

Great video! You nailed it describing what you did and showing the before and after pics! Looks really sharp.

As a Tahoe owner, really inspired to start modding my 2001 5.3L

Nice build man, looks clean and mean! Congrats on bringing your dream to a reality!

Just bought a ‘03 this really inspired me, thanks man!

Man that is one beautiful rig! Great job on the build, hope you are enjoying it still!

Greatly detailed vid man. The timeline is awesome. Definately gave me some ideas for my tahoe.

She is beautiful. I have been on the fence about a cheap Tahoe (build) or just get a KR F150. After watching this one video of yours. You have solidified my choice in going with a Tahoe Z71. Keep up the good work brother can't wait to see future videos. Yep I subscribed after one video. 👍

You got an A+ you went from point A to Z with citing to where the parts came from best vid I’ve seen in a while

I’m 15 and have no money but this inspired me to one day buy a 2002-2006 Tahoe/Yukon. The best genoration. The 2007 and up are all down graded.

New sub here, just discovered the channel. Chevy guy here, this is my favorite gen GM full size SUV. Currently running a 2002 YukonXL with 274k and all original drivetrain. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the videos!

Damn nice build! I have an 05 that isn’t my daily, but I’ve had similar plans to do something like this! Definitely excited to get my started!

Damn, you got me looking at tahoes for sale now. This is a great build!

What an awesome mod job. I own a 2019 tahoe and want to take it from street look to off road look so getting some great ideas from you.

You did magic to that Tahoe.

She’s So beautiful bro.. I just bought the same truck for a great price and boy do I have plans for it

Best looking Tahoe I’ve seen. Not overdone and does look menacing. Got me on FBM looking for a Tahoe. 😂

The lift, wheels, and front bumper really made the difference. Good job!

I need these upgrades for my Tahoe

This was my first car, I love it and love what you did with it. I had the 4.8L which was good but not enough power, I think I would do an LS swap on it or but a 5.3L new engine from the new tahoes.

Upgraded LED headlights! And the aftermarket hood! That’s a big lift for those tires! Definitely not talking about the aftermarket here! Crème de la crème bro! Rogers enterprises! And the front bow tie looks great!! You’re in the market for being ripped off! Definitely drop some cash down and we pull tow it off the lot!! And let me say again, THE FRONT BOW TIE LOOKS GREAT!!

Definitely outside work man. I have 01 black single cab @ 215k miles. I have to juggle priorities right now with money but once I get a chance I'll be doing the same thing.

I want to do something like this to my 1998 suburban 😂 this would be epic

Wow this build is legit! I love how it looks and for the price..u can’t beat it. What are your plans for it? Camping? Off road? Rock crawl? Make a video of you testing it out on various terrains! This might be a better alternative for some of us out there instead of the older Toyota’s

Best tahoe I've seen yet. Awesome job 👍

Kick ass job. I just bought a 05 Avalanche for $1350 here in Tennessee. Pretty damn rough but runs good. Also came with a 80k mile 5.3 that me and my son are going to be building on the side. I was really thinking about doing a blackout. But seriously starting to lean towards a total whiteout. Cladding and all. I’ve never really been an Avalanche fan but I just couldn’t pass up the deal. Your Tahoe makes me miss my old Yukon

I’m trying to get my homie to do something with his 04. Sent him this vid. Hope it inspires him

I love the revival of the Tahoe I dont see to many on the road anymore

Cool videos im fixing up my 04 avalanche already have audio install n led headlight now i need to lift it 6inch 👏👏👏🍻🍻🍻👍👍👍

im speechless . you are one dedicated man you have a vision and you went for it . very nice car/truck . very good ideas and i would love to go to your shop once i get mines

I'm a Tahoe guy so I really appreciate what you've done to yours, I have the same subwoofer and head unit set up. Was looking to add that hood this summer to mine also...gr8 build💯

Awesome tahoe👏🏽👏🏽👌🏽

Very nice job. Impressive build for sure. My buddy in high school had a similar looking one back in high school, just 2 door.

That grille is an awesome choice, looks more badass than the other 2. She's a nice looking truck

Super sick Mod... damnit you got me wanting to do this to my 03 GMC Yukon now😂😂

Definitely killer Tahoe man. Can’t wait for the engine swap!

Just discovered your channel. thanks for sharing. I've had a 2001 suburban that's been in our family for awhile. Thanks for the inspiration to get some mods going. with a few thousand in mods will have a much nicer truck.

Super cool build, thanks for sharing!

He makes it look easy but it's a lot of work....a whole lot of work and a ton of this $$$.

Man this Tahoe looks amazing I just bought me a 01 that's in pretty bad shape but I guess I just have to take my time....

Just got a 2000 Yukon XL can't wait to mod, great build 🤙
