It's nice to see this high-end transformation happening to a regular SUV. Why? Because it gives hope to the poor fellow, who has a Tahoe beater and dreams of turning it into a show-stopper.
In this case, the custom treatment is usually associated with a Jeep Wrangler. You've got a roof light bar, lifted suspension and inserts for the bumpers. All there for when you feel like getting your expensive paintjob scratched and dinged.
But it's not a Jeep, is it? This is a Chevy Tahoe, so it's not even from the same American automaker and you can't pretent it helped win WW2. Which is not to say that Tahoe can't make great off-road vehicles, just that seeing one like this is rare.
If the Green Hornet ever needs a truck to chase down his nemesis, this will work just great. It's even got a cool name, the Kandy Green Chevrolet Tahoe. Okay, it's less superhero and more sugar daddy. But we're not going to judge!
Besides the paint, the Tahoe features a custom hood, bumpers, and inserts for the fenders. Keen-eyed viewers might also notice there's extra chrome on the bottom of the door mirrors and the handles.
How big are the wheels? Good question. The Tahoe is riding on 26 by 14 inch polished alloy wheels from Forgiato. They've got a really clean design with machined holes that don't remind you of spokes at all. To make it go full donk, they had to cut wedges out of all the fenders and bumpers. Otherwise, the wheels would rub when they hit a pothole.
All in all, we figure the alloys alone cost more than the truck itself. Factor in custom paint and extra features and you end up with the about triple the market value of a used Tahoe.
