Bolt on roll pan for Tahoe/Yukon pics please - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just picked up a 97 2door 2wd Tahoe and am debating a bolt on roll pan or PTM rear bumper. I don't wanna deal with welding and blending paint (that's why I'm thinking bolt on). Anyway I cannot find any pics of Tahoe/Yukon with a bolt on. Please share pics if you have any. Thanks

If I were building my Tahoe, I would stay away from a roll pan. I always liked a roll pan way more than a color matched bumper until I got my Tahoe with a roll pan. You can see like half of my gas tank hanging out from underneath, which looks goofy to me.

I should check and see how hard it would be to switch to a color-matched bumper.

Does anything have to be cut on the frame that would not allow a bumper to be reinstalled? I already have the roll pan so I'd like to give it a shot. Especially if I can go back to a bumper if I don't like it.

Yes, the frame ends serve as the bumper brackets and stick out about 6" past the body. They have to be trimmed off to mount a roll pan.

So there's really no going back

Not without some fab work.

Mine has a bolt on, but I couldn't tell you what brand since it was already installed when I bought it. The gas tank might be more noticeable as mentioned. I guess that's why the original owner of mine painted the tank to match:
