These are all upgrades I’ve done to my 2011 Z71. The rear lift gate hydraulic struts and the button that opens the rear glass tend to wear out over time but you can get replacements cheaply on amazon. These tahoes are also known for the dashboard cracking and there are companies that make covers that fit right over the existing dash. I have one and it’s worth it if your dash cracks.
I'd highly suggest getting this OBD2 tool, it's $20 and works with many apps on phones using bluetooth: https://www.amazon.com/BAFX-Products-Wireless-Bluetooth-Diagnostic/dp/B005NLQAHS

I use that with the Torque app on Android (I paid for the PRO version but they have a free version too). That should give you codes and also let's you set custom displays for all the sensors in your vehicle. You can see which cyls are misfiring in real time, how many misfires they've had since engine startup, what your air intake temp/pressure is, all the CEL codes, pretty much if it has a sensor in your vehicle it reads it.
For $20, plus the few bucks for the PRO verision for my android phone, this app has been a saving grace for me.
I had a lot more worn out buttons on my dash as well as the stock radio buttons. I recently got this vinyl sticker kit off Amazon and they are great. I wanted the vinyl and not some paper stickers. These are a perfect exact fit to your dash buttons. I am very pleased with the product but a couple tips:
They are very precisely cut so you want to position them as perfectly as possible. Use a tooth pick or similar thin instrument to stick a small piece to and apply, I found this part very difficult and mine are slightly off but still look much better.
As removing the previous paint, it is not 100% necessary with the vinyl but what WILL happen if you mis-stick and try to pull it back and reposition, the old paint will come right off and be stuck to your sticker. So yea, either stick it on perfectly first try or else use some other sticky to remove the excess paint before you start, it comes off pretty easy that way. And you want to clean the buttons before applying the final decal.
Yeah I like the cleaner lines without the molding, even if it had been in good shape.
I had to look back in my Amazon orders for the eraser wheel, it’s this one:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VFACQRE
I used up about half the wheel to do both sides. It seems to be made to remove pinstripes and decals but it did great on the dried out foam tape left behind on the car. Just don’t run it too long in one spot, you can eventually burn the paint.

They're these right here. Fitment wasn't easy, but these are way more solid than some others I've tried and came out great.
I have these.
They whistle in the wind but they hold my kayaks and roof top tent. (23Zero 87 walkabout if you want an idea for how big that thing is.) They look fine up top.
When I had my suburban I found a lightbar that fit perfectly on the factory Z71 rails so it had a sleek look. This is the best pic I have readily available.
If you just want to add Bluetooth and your Tahoe has the USB port in the center console, check this out. I have a 2011 Tahoe LTZ. I was about to upgrade my head unit but found this. It works for what I want. I leave it plugged in.

I had some cheap Amazon ones on there before and wired them in using some waterproof connectors after cutting the plug off the factory wiring. Did the same to the wiring from the DD lights
To mount them I drilled through the bottom of the plastic beneath the lights. There's 2 layers of plastic there. One hole, drilled through both layers, was centered with the opening for the light and whatever the bolt size was for mounting (I think 8mm) Then drilled a larger hole only through only the lowest layer of plastic that was JUST big enough to fit a socket to tighten the mounting bolt for each light. So basically from bottom to top I have bolt, large washer, plastic bumper, light bracket, then nut.
Hope that kinda makes sense
This is the camera I’m using which I bought on Amazon: License Plate Frame 170 Degree Backup Camera
Honestly the camera works pretty good and was easy to install. I do like that its adjustable, so I can tilt camera down when lining up a trailer, for example. I need to adjust my camera a tiny bit still - and going to drill new holes in my bumper. Bought the truck 2 weeks ago and prev. owner dented/bent bumper. Was going to replace it, but for now just going to save $75-200 for a used/new rear bumper and just drill new license plate holes and use new bolts.
For anyone with a similar issue, I found a cheap fix on amazon, its called copper lock, also available at Home Depot and Walmart. Its a no heat solder and it is conductive.

I camped in my Tahoe over the holiday weekend on my relative’s land. Here is what I slept on Olee Sleep Foam Mattress and here’s the pillow I used Pillow
The base is made up of Yakima round bars and clamp on brackets. The actual kayak part is from amazon. They work very well with some slight modifications.

$500 for all 4 is nuts.
Amazon has them for about $46 each and most tire shops should only charge about $20 per corner to install them for you.
The Factory RPO code for two batteries 6A6. Hopefully this can give you some info on where to start. If you want, I can go take a picture or two of my 09 PPV and show you how it was set up.
I was also able to find the OEM second battery tray on Amazon.](https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-GM-15246518-Battery-Right/dp/B00GTJV9RY)
Any difference between the filter you linked and this one?
I want the red filter because, you know, red means faster :)
I would recommend these for led replacements, I have a set on my '09 and they fit and work great - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06ZZCR1V6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_WCWeFbBZKKBX0
Also, led out your interior, looks really clean - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074KNVRXN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_dEWeFbH1318G3
This worked perfect for me. Just plug it into your fuse box. When you use your high beams your lows and fogs will stay on.

I'm not brand loyal, but here's a LED set from Amazon that my favorite Tahoe people recommend.
LED swaps are probably the cheapest mod that makes such a big difference.
Footwells are gonna be a bitch, so be sure to take a picture of the bulb placement before removing. Also, use a mirror. Learn from my mistakes.
Don't forget the glove box and under hood light. Good luck!
No although that is something you can and should do also.
Rear shock extension brackets. Rather than longer shocks. Something like this

Because it is a linked solid axle in the rear the limit of travel right now is your shock length fully extended down and your bump stops for uptravel.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074GVNCZL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I use these LED bulbs on my 2003 and 2004 Tahoe headlights. Huge improvement. Also replace the reverse lights with LEDs.
What is up with the hood?
