How to Fit 35 inch Tires on a Stock Tahoe and Going Off Road

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This time on the AutoEdits 1995 Chevy Tahoe 4x4 OBS build called the TahOverlander we mount a set of 35" Milestar Patagonia MT tires on the factory wheels and then stuff that junk underneath the truck with bone stock suspension!
Then I'll take you with me as we go off roading to test it out and see what happens.
Here's a link to the AutoEdits Amazon store where you can find many of the things I use here on the channel and if you start your shopping from there it really helps me out! Don't forget to stock up on your Grease Monkey "Bones" gloves or your Lucas Speed Wax or Tool Box Buddy...

07:50 front install
11:43 test drive!

    That Tahoe looks nice! I've done a leveling kit up front and a spacer in the rear for some additional clearance for articulation. Think an add a leaf would do the same. Also maybe a 2 inch body lift too. For me It's a lot of fun having additional space for the family. My primary wheeling rig is an 86 Suzuki Samurai in which the family may have trouble fitting in.

    I have a GMT-400 Suburban and the upgrade I'm most pleased with is the full Powerstop Z36 brake kit with the powder coated calipers. The stock brakes are a weak point on this platform and the Powerstop brakes are amazing. And they're cheaper than OEM brakes from the dealer. You'll want Part No. KC1970-36 I replaced all my front end parts with HD Moog or GM parts. In my case I got TA K02's for what you paid for those milestars. I also have an HT-383E engine swap with JB headers and Magnaflow header back exhaust with performance cats plus a performance tune. Love this platform. Amazing truck in all weather. Easy and inexpensive to work on. Drives great in town and on the highway.

    Oh you're in for it now, big tires do interesting things to old trucks :) Looks great, awesome project. Just don't go too far off the trail for a while, those big tires will expose the weakness in the drivetrain. Which is a good thing if you want to turn that into an off-roader, since you can fix them and get the truck squared away and reliable for longer trips. BTW - Props on the production value, the back facing front cam on the trail, nice!

    This is awesome, I’ve been watching your videos to help me work on my 99 suburban, and now you have a 90s Tahoe. This will make my life a lot easier. I studied your brake upgrade video for a while and just went ahead and installed Wilwood disks on all 4 corners of my suburban a little over a month ago. New rotors, calipers, brake lines, proportional valve and master cylinder. Did a lot of changes to it so far this year. And to top it off, I just realized we are aren’t too far away from each other. I was wondering why that area looked familiar during your test drive. Would be great if I could show you my work in person once I’m done with the changes and break in process.

    AutoEdits hows it going! Yea I was looking to see what options were out there with little modifications. I found a shop called little shop mfg, and they make their adapters in house. I asked them a bunch of questions for months and they helped me out. For the front and rears I did 14 inch breaks, 6 piston calipers front and 4 piston rears. They do say you need 18 inch wheels for the 14 inch brakes and 20 inch wheels for their 16 inch brakes. For just the brakes alone, it was a little over 4K. It’s a lot but this is just one of those things I definitely wanted high quality. I started the brake in procedure but realized I had a leak in a line I made so I had to replace it. Once I have a chance I’ll be able to bleed it again and test it. Also replaced the differential because it was a few drives away from destroying itself. This has been my project for a few years and I’m glad you got that Tahoe. You also got the bumper I’m looking into installing!

    I have a couple of K2500 pickups and they both rub with aftermarket wheels and 33x12.50s. I'm definitely going to install the tires on a set of stock wheels. I have cranked the torsion bars. Mine rub on the front bumper and the rear of the front fender. . And I've trimmed both!

    I relate to this video so much. I have a 2wd Dodge Ram 1500 6speed manual regular cab short bed. I installed 4.10 gears and have a Detroit locker in the stock Chrysler 9.25 rear axle. It goes off road no problem on my 33” BFG KM3s. I have a new 4x4 but I’m not taking it hardcore off-roading because I don’t want to scratch it lol. My 2wd can go all the places I need it to being in south Florida and a trail like what you’re on in this video is perfect and I agree I could do that all day too just riding with the windows down and soaking it all in 😎

    Thanks for this vid! I've been trying to find something similar to take camping on similar trails. I have a built Cherokee on stock axles and 35s and a GMC Envoy. I want to sell the Jeep but I wouldn't have a trail/ camp rig anymore, cause the 'voy is nice, low mile, not very capable, and has sentential value. Looks like a cheap Tahoe is a STRONG contender for a replacement! V8 refresh for towing, rear lunchbox locker, has plenty of space to sleep and store gear, and maybe a wench (or 2 😉). Thanks again for the idea!

    I just did the front end on my 1998 k3500, used mostly moog stuff, and bilstein shocks, very happy with it. If you are going to use stock control arms, the OBS trucks with the heavier engine (diesel, 454) have forged lower control arms vs stamped steel, so that could be a good upgrade. My understanding is most the lift kits for these trucks retain the factory lower control arms. There a vid on my channel of the process, made some good mistakes in that one haha but turned out great in the end! Love the tahoe, this is gonna be a fun build!

    @@AutoEdits To make it heavier duty, just use 2500 or 3500 series control arms. The front of the chassis is the same on all models. Just heavier duty control arms, different hubs, and heavier duty torsion bar springs. It may use the same control arms as the GMT-800. If it does, I believe that they are all forged. And please stop calling your truck an OBS. OBS is a Ford thing to describe older body style F series trucks. Yours is a GMT-400, which came after the C/K Rounded Line trucks. Good luck with your GMT-400 project.

    I love this so much! I'm psyched up about this just because you are so much. I think these are terrific looking trucks as they are, but this looks so good with these tires. 100% agree with the white letters! I like that you kept the stock wheel, I think they're good looking and when you were talking about wheels in your last video on this I was thinking that the stock one would probably be best to minimize rubbing. Also, west coast cars are dream! That thing looks cleaner underneath than my 2013 New England 4Runner. Which now I'm thinking, why do I even own that thing? It's still worth like 20K, I don't want to beat it up off road. Time to start looking for an old Tahoe!
