Hello, ORTB members

My name is Matthew, I will be at Fort Stewart, GA. Feb. 2014. I have a mostly stock '05 Chevy Tahoe LT (Auto Ride) with the Vortex 350 V8. I will use it as my daily driver and start to build it into a decent all around trial ride. I am military so will be working around all of that, but would love to go wheeling with anyone in my area. I would also love any ideas, hints, or tips on building my ride.


-Matthew

I don't think we can be of too much help in building a Tahoe...

Welcome regardless.

Welcome Matthew. I'll give you points for thinking outside of the usual box when it comes to looking for trailing buddies. And beings we have a member or two with full size vehicles, you may get some support on build ideas.

Robert probably did give you a better choice on where to get more specific build information for your platform though.
