DLuders Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 On his Flickr photostream, Firas Abu-Jaber posted 10 pictures of his Lego 1999 Chevy Tahoe 2-door truck. He wrote, "Here’s a replica of the 1999 2door Chevy Tahoe, one of the best SUV’s that General Motors made, this model features working elements like working steering, opening doors, hood and trunk, beige interior and chrome rims. "As usual, everything opens. Notice the tiny space I made behind the doors so you don't have to push hard to close the doors, it's one of the LEGO hinges as a lot of you already know. Notice the seat belts and the arm rest. Hope I did fine on the interior; I was very limited with the beige pieces. "Some front details, front grill, hooks under the bumper, chrome chevy emblem, license plate....And some rear details, rear window wiper, chrome exhaust tip., etc." "Beneath the hood sits a Vortec 5700 V8, rated for 255 horsepower. Two-door 4WD Tahoes with LS or LT trim can be equipped with a 6.5-liter turbodiesel V8 instead of the Vortec 5700." Quote
Paul Boratko Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 I suppose that I'll be the first one to comment on what an amazing job that Firas has done with this model... It truly is spectacular in every way... This just adds to the amazing line-up of wonderful models that he has built over the years and also shows why he is without a doubt one of the best builders in the world... Quote
skyliner Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 yet more, great work, and photos also, black is very difficult to photograph so we11. The model is actually better looking than the real SUV. skyliner Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 This Tahoe is awesome. Showed this to a friend of mine, who loves his Tahoe. His jaw didn't close for a few minutes Everything about this truck is awesome. The interior is awesome and the engine looks great. He really did great work on this build. Quote
Out of Sight Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 I've also been seeing Firas's creations on his profile..he's gifted beyond believe. This Tahoe oozes typical US mini truckin' cutomization flares. You either get stopped by the police from scrapping the ground with the 'bagged' suspension system, or from suspected drug/firearm possesion..since this is also a typical drug dealers/gang banger's whip :thumbup: Quote
