Ushering in the last class of its model featuring a 2-door configuration, this 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe Sport 4x4 is one nice-looking SUV. Its distinctive configuration really enhances its robust, boxy shape and, dressed in high-gloss pewter paint with matte charcoal gray bumpers and matching accent trim along its sides, it has a vital appearance that's backed up by a confidence-inspiring running condition. At the same time, an aggressive 6" lift that comes via an RCD kit combines with a set of beefy BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain tires and Smittybilt tubular running boards to underscore the notion that this stout Chevy is every bit at home off the asphalt as it is cruising the highways and boulevards.
The interior has been thoroughly revitalized while retaining its factory configuration, with a pair of front buckets that wear new leather covers and a rear bench seat that shows only minor wear. The added GM carpet kit reinforces the thoroughly stock appearance inside the doors and is well fitted. A center console that began life inside a turn-of-the-millennium Escalade has been positioned between the front buckets and blends well with its surroundings. While the aftermarket CD player positioned inside the console isn't currently connected, that should be a fairly minor undertaking, and in the meantime, the original AM/FM/Cassette stereo is in good working order. With the factory air conditioning system running in top form, you and your passengers will be riding in comfort throughout the year.
This sharp SUV features upgraded modern power in the form of a 6.0-liter V8 sourced from an Escalade. Fed by electronic fuel-injection, the engine is running great and is teamed with a 4-speed automatic 4L65E transmission that shifts smoothly and is well-equipped to handle the sizable powerplant's output. When the urge to veer onto rugged terrain strikes you, the original transfer case was rebuilt when the new motor was installed, and the 4-wheel drive on this Chevy works without a hitch. New ball joints and front-end bushings were also installed very recently to ensure squeak-free motoring, while a GM truck radiator takes its place up front to keep operating temperatures under control.
