Those old tahoes are great and it looks like yours is working well. I had a 97 for a little bit and i enjoyed driving it but didnt keep it long simply because i didnt need the extra vehicle. Fast forward a few years and I was looking to buy another tahoe but ended up with a 99 grand cherokee with the v8 and factory viscous locking diffs, i like it pretty well so far too. Looks like a really fun trail with a rewarding view!

Great video, I have 96 Tahoe, was wondering what lift did u use and if u cranked torsion bars, did it make ride stiffer? Thank you

Thanks! I did a 2” tapered block in the rear and a torsion crank up front. Not much difference in ride, I only raised it about 1.5” in the front. Pretty capable for what it is, the biggest limitation is the true trac rear diff. I highly recommend a selectable locker after pushing the true trac to its limits.

@@bradc5433 Yeah the true trac is an aftermarket mechanical limited slip. It’s a Torsen style diff whereas the G80 is an inertia locker and generally pretty fragile. I just picked up an ARB air locker and plan to see how that works out. The true trac was great up until you fully unload a tire, then it just spins. Most people say you can modulate brakes to make it lock, but if your already articulated with limited traction, applying the brakes is the last thing you really wanna have to do.

@@78SilverBronco ok interesting thanks for this info and your quick reply. Also do you think I could add that swing out spare even though my burb has the fold down tailgate ? Or does it require the barn door set up like yours ?
